Description
This escapist, summery beach read about a woman who scripted her perfect boyfriend but hates the actor playing him in the on-screen adaptation is perfect for fans of romance, women’s fiction, and Hallmark movies.
She thought shed scripted the perfect boyfriend. But shes convinced that the actor cast to play him doesnt know a thing about real love.
Frustrated with the sad state of her dating life, restaurateur Chloe Culpepper penned a single romance novel featuring the man of her dreams. Upon the books publication, the hero resonated with thousands of women, catapulting the book to the top of the bestsellers list and earning the novel a movie option.
Chloe is thrilled a production company wants to bring her movie to the big screen and film it right in her hometown, Stillwater Bay, South Carolina. But when the producer casts Liam Hamilton—a notorious Hollywood playboy—for the part of her beloved Ledger, shes appalled. Hes just like her unfaithful ex-boyfriend—and her duplicitous father. How can Liam possibly understand, much less portray, the wonderful character who captured her heart and made her readers swoon?
An embarrassing and contentious first meeting does little to allay Chloes fears about Liam. The man hasnt even read her book! But one thing she knows: she must win him over if shes to influence his role and save the integrity of her movie.
Due to the deceitful tabloids and, okay, some minor commitment issues, Liam Hamiltons reputation—and career—is in jeopardy. On the advice of his manager and best friend, he offers a bargain with the wholesome author of his upcoming movie: if she will appear in public as his steady girlfriend during the making of the movie, he will take her direction on the role of Ledger.
Could a little quid pro quo offer a solution to both of their problems? Or will the bargain cause more trouble than either of them couldve possibly imagined?
