And Now, Back to You

B.K. Borison. Berkley, $19 trade paper (464p) ISBN 978-0-593-95314-3

The long-standing feud between two Baltimore meteorologists comes to a head in the midst of a winter storm in this sweet and sassy enemies-to-lovers rom-com from bestseller Borison (First-Time Caller). Delilah Stewart loves her job as a television weather reporter despite often-demeaning assignments, including her boss forcing her to wear a turtle costume during a broadcast. Her past encounters with radio meteorologist Jackson Clark have often ended in bickering, like the time he left passive aggressive Post-its on her car about her sloppy parking job. When a historic snowstorm hits Western Maryland, however, teaming up with Jackson may be Delilah’s best chance at being taken seriously. Broadcasting together from a snowbound mountain lodge, their chemistry ignites and draws in viewers—especially after a hot mic catches them kissing. The opposites-attract pair balance each other well, with spontaneous Delilah bringing out regimented Jackson’s fun side, and as their barbed banter becomes more flirtatious, it serves as a delightful prelude to scintillating romance. This charms. Agent: Kim Lionetti, BookEnds Literary. (Feb.)
