She's primed to become a worldwide phenomenon as the tenth and final book is set to debut after the annual romance readers convention takes place in Chicago next week. As buzz continues to build toward the book's release, Sofie is asked to headline the event for the first time, a career milestone. One she won't let anyone take from her, especially \"the next Sofie Wilde.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThat's what they're calling her--Hartley West, the self-published debut author who writes in the style of Sofie Wilde. Except she doesn't actually \"write\" anything. After Hartley admits to using AI to create her novel, Sofie's ready to watch Hartley be skewered on social media. Except in this unpredictable world, Hartley is instead lauded for being innovative, for being such a skilled editor to take what the AI churned out and massage it into a story that's just as compelling as Sofie's--maybe even more so.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter her unhinged rant unintentionally goes viral, Sofie loses her keynote, and she's starting to lose all her support.

As the convention begins, Sofie is surrounded by fellow authors who also fear for their futures, their livelihoods, their art being stripped away, one AI prompt at a time. Something must be done.
