He has just become a top-selling romance novelist. However, being a "man's man" in the Australian outback, to avoid embarrassment he needs a name, a woman's name - and he chooses that of his best friend Ruby.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })When a glamourous city publisher shows up to sign "Ruby Vale" to a major book deal, Jack must do some fancy footwork to keep up the charade, including convincing the real Ruby Vale to play along. Like two fish out of water, and out of their depth, Jack and Ruby are drawn closer together as they cope with all the media attention of a whirlwind publicity tour. | |

Belligerent Sexual Tension | |
| Paperback Hero / int_75d6bf40 | comment |
Belligerent Sexual Tension: Jack and Ruby, leading Jack to use this with his own characters. Discussed when Ziggy mentions an argument in the book and questions the realism of it. Despite having no context for it, Ruby disagrees: "I reckon some of the best lovers in history fought like bloody dogs on heat." Ziggy concedes the point, mentioning Kate and Petruchio. | |
