Any Trope but You

She doesn’t believe in happily ever after—until she might be living one.

Any Trope but You follows Margot Bradley, a bestselling romance author whose career implodes after her secret “happily never after” endings are exposed. Fleeing to a remote Alaskan resort to reinvent herself as a mystery writer, she plans to avoid romance entirely—until the rugged resort owner starts to make her question everything she thought she knew about love.

Victoria Lavine delivers a witty, self-aware rom-com filled with sharp humor, meta romance tropes, and emotional depth. With themes of reinvention, grief, and learning to believe in love again, this story blends laugh-out-loud moments with heartfelt vulnerability.

Perfect for readers who love:
• rom-coms with meta humor
• grumpy × sunshine dynamics
• forced proximity (remote setting)
• authors / creative protagonists
• emotional stories with humor
