About the
Book
Title: Dedicated to the One I Love
Author: Beth K. Vogt
Publisher: White Glove
Release Date: June 20, 2023
Genre: Contemporary Romance
She doesn’t believe in love anymore. He doesn’t either.
They’re perfect for each other.
Beloved romance novelist Kylie Franklin walked away from her pen-name career as bestselling
and award-winning Veronica Hollins the day her husband died. Her loyal readers are eager for
the final book in her sensational series. But Kylie’s given up on love, both fictional and in real
life. Behind her back, Kylie’s agent contrives a way to get her writing again.
Joe Edwards has made a name for himself with his popular military suspense novels under the
pen name Tate Merrick. Yet he can’t quite break onto the bestseller list. What his books need,
his publisher suggests, is some romance. Joe flat refuses. However, his publisher is determined
and hires Veronica Hollins to save the day—and his career.
Veronica and Tate quickly realize they’re Kylie and Joe, good friends who connected online via a
popular word game and their mutual love of trivia. Surely they can wrangle their alter egos into
this literary collaboration. But as the deadline looms, their differences threaten the romance
developing off the page.
From a Christy Award-winning author comes this charming mash-up of hidden identities,
literary tug of war, and falling in love when you least expect it.

SPOTLIGHT AND EXCERPT
This was one of the reasons Joe liked having Liza as his literary agent. Talking to her was
like talking to his sister—and that was one of the best compliments he could ever give Liza. His
favorite person in his family was his younger sister, Abbie, not that he would ever admit that to
his mom.
He bit into the sub, savoring the smoky, mildly spicy bite of ham, mortadella, capicola,
and provolone cheese topped with shredded lettuce, tomatoes, and just the right amount of mayo
and olive oil.
“Tell me the good news already.” Joe took a swig of water as he carried his phone and the
remainder of the sub to his favorite chair in the living room, stretching out to continue the
conversation. For Liza’s sake, when he turned on the flat-screen TV, he kept it on mute, only
paying partial attention to whatever sports show was on ESPN. “They loved the manuscript,
right?”
“Not exactly, Joe.”
“Wha—?” He choked on the wad of bread, cold cuts, and cheese. Sat up. Coughed.
Wheezed.
“You okay?”
Joe grabbed the water bottle and took small sips. “What do you mean ‘not exactly’?”
“You know sales for your last three books have slipped.”
“Every author I know has struggled with sales numbers this past year.” Joe gulped more
water. “Well, except for that romance writer who hasn’t even had a book out in the last few years
. . .what’s her name?”
“Veronica Hollins?”
“That’s the one. But she can probably live off the royalties of her last two books alone for
the rest of her life.”
“It’s interesting you mentioned Veronica Hollins.”
“Because?”
“After reading your manuscript, the editors suggested you should add more romance to
the story.”
“There’s romance in the story, Liza.”
“Barely. No one holds hands. No kisses. It’s elementary school romance. You could cut
the sexual tension with dental floss.”
