Synopsis
THE HERMIT
Annie Catrel, social media expert extraordinaire at Davidson & Croft Media and
clandestine celebrity blogger, can make anyone shine in the court of public opinion. She is the
Socialmedialite, anonymous creator of New York’s Finest and the internet’s darling. Virtual
reality is Annie’s forte, but actual reality? Not so much.
THE HOOKER
Ronan Fitzpatrick, aka the best hooker the world of rugby has seen in decades, despises the
media—social or otherwise. The press has spun a web of lies depicting him as rugby’s wild and
reckless bad boy.
Suspended from his team, Ronan has come to Manhattan to escape the drama, lay low, fly
under the radar. Only, Ronan isn’t easy to overlook, and he can’t escape the notice of the
Socialmedialite…
THE PLAN
When Ronan is sent to Davidson & Croft Media to reshape his public image, he never
expects to cross paths with shy but beautiful Annie, nor does he expect his fierce attraction to
her. He couldn’t be happier when her boss suggests pairing them together.
What lengths will Annie take to keep her virtual identity concealed? And what happens when the
hooker discovers who the hermit really is?
The Hooker and the Hermit is a collaboration between authors L.H. Cosway and Penny Reid, is
a full length 100k word novel, and is a standalone.

About Penny Reid
SEX! It all started with sex, between my parents. Personally I don’t
like thinking about it, but whatever works for you is a-ok with me. No judgment. The sex
happened in California and much of my life also occurred in that state until I moved from the
land of nuts (almonds), wine, silicon… boobs, and heavy traffic to the southeast US. Like most
writers I like to write, but let’s get back to sex. Eventually I married and gave birth to 2 small
people-children (boy-6, girl-4 as of this writing).
By day I’m a biomedical researcher with focus on rare diseases. By
night I’m a knitter, sewer, lino block carver, fabric printer, soap maker, and general crafter. By
the wee hours of the morning or when I’m intoxicated I love to listen to the voices in my head
and let them tell me stories. I hope you enjoy their stories.
