"I'm with Stupid"

Coming soon from 5 Spot: I'm with Stupid by Elaine Szewczyk.

About the book, from the official website:

When Kas meets William while on safari in South Africa he seems perfect: a hot park ranger, both heroic and kind. Kas’s two best friends, Max and Libby, compete for William’s attention, but he only has eyes for Kas, a lowly assistant at a struggling literary agency in New York City who thinks William is out of her league. The two have a fling in Africa, and Kas returns home wondering if she'll hear from William again. So when he finally sends an email, she's delighted.

Until she opens it.

The email is not quite the love missive Kas expected. William suddenly seems… different. A miscommunication between them ensues, triggering a rapid-fire series of developments that, within days, bring William to NYC, under the impression that Kas has offered him a place to live and help him with his plan to take Manhattan by storm. In the coming weeks, as Max plots (unnecessarily elaborate) revenge against an ex and Libby is wooed by a 17-year-old heir to a tube sock fortune, Kas struggles to cope with William’s multiplying eccentricities, including a preoccupation with astrology charts and a passion for collecting Big Apple-themed souvenirs, and the realization that he’s not exactly playing with a full deck.
