In a story of serendipity and personal growth, two individuals' lives will intersect in the most unexpected way.

Joey Beckham exudes creativity and independence. She's about to embark on a once-in-a-lifetime vacation, fulfilling her late father's dream of visiting the Greek island of Crete. But Joey's world is flipped upside down when she discovers a heart-wrenching betrayal.

Cam Connelly is accustomed to taking care of others, but he desperately yearns to break away from his family's expectations and nurture desires of his own. Will he choose the life they set out for him or the path that fuels the spark in his soul?

Fate weaves its intricate web when Joey and Cam find themselves stranded on a picturesque Greek island. They must join forces to navigate their way home.

There's just one problem: The bed-and-breakfast has only one vacant room.

With one bed.

But it's fine. They'll never see each other again, right?


For the Plot is a deliciously spicy, star-crossed lover, second chance rom-com. It’s filled with so many tropes—one bed & he falls first & forced proximity, OH MY!—and it ticked absolutely every one of my boxes. Joey and Cam are amazing together and watching them dance around their feelings for each other was just, chef’s kiss. And the setting—Greece—you couldn’t ask for a more romantic backdrop. 

Katie Van Brunt has written a book filled with comedy, heart, healthy relationship goals, and a whole lot of spice. She also touches on some difficult topics and traverses them with grace and empathy. Joey’s father’s death and her mom’s subsequent substance abuse, along with Cam’s tumultuous relationship with this father, his sister’s death, and the effect it had on his whole family. Everything works together, weaving a beautiful tale of two star-crossed lovers finding healing, strength, and support in each other as their paths cross repeatedly. A symphony of swoon, support, and spice, if you will. 

Do yourself a favor—add this to your TBR and start it as soon as you can. I promise you won’t be disappointed.
