With One Last Rewrite officially out in the world, I thought it was the perfect time to introduce you to the chaotic, passionate, and utterly combustible pair at the heart of the story: Hollie Martin and Will Lawson.
They’re coworkers. Competitors. Co-editors. And absolutely the last two people who should ever fall into bed together…
But we all know how that goes. 👀
Let’s break down the fire behind this fast-paced, enemies-to-lovers romance:
HOLLIE MARTIN
📚 Age: 24
🌟 Zodiac: Scorpio
🖋️ Job: Senior Editor at Sterling House Publishing
🎯 Personality: Driven, sharp-witted, fiercely independent
❤️ Love Language: Acts of defiance and unspoken glances
Hollie is a force of nature. She’s worked her way up the ladder with nothing but grit, caffeine, and a don’t-mess-with-me attitude. Her boundaries are firm, her wardrobe is power-chic, and she has no time for arrogant coworkers who smirk like they own the place. (Looking at you, Will.)
She’s emotionally guarded, sharp-tongued, and absolutely not here for romantic distractions. That said… she’s also a passionate, complex woman with a craving for connection—even if she’d rather swallow her pride than admit it.
And Will Lawson? He gets under her skin like no one else.
WILL LAWSON
📚 Age: 31
🌟 Zodiac: Capricorn
🖋️ Job: Senior Editor (and constant thorn in Hollie’s side)
🎯 Personality: Charming, cocky, competitive
❤️ Love Language: Smirking during arguments and pretending he’s not in love with her
Will’s the kind of guy who walks into a room and owns it. He’s charismatic, smart, and maddeningly confident. He’s also been in direct competition with Hollie for two years—and he loves every second of it.
He pushes her buttons on purpose. He teases. He taunts. He challenges. And underneath all of that? Is a man who’s more vulnerable than he looks, with a loyalty that runs deep and a heart that might just be more tangled up in Hollie than he’s ready to admit.
Together?
They are absolute fire.
Enemies who can’t stop staring.
Co-editors forced into close quarters.
Two people who swore they’d never cross that line—and then did. Repeatedly.
Hollie and Will are:
- Electric in every scene
- Addicted to the tension
- Terrified of the feelings underneath it
Every touch is a mistake.
Every argument is foreplay.
And every moment they try to act like it doesn’t matter?
Makes it matter even more.
Favorite Quote:
“We hadn’t just crossed a line—we had obliterated it.”
If You Love…
- Enemies-to-lovers tension that jumps off the page

…then you’re going to be obsessed with Hollie and Will.
Whether you’re rooting for them to finally kiss or just waiting for the next argument-turned-hookup, I hope you fall as hard for these two as I did while writing them. 💥
