Southern musician and closet geek Liz
Baker enjoys her quiet life. While in Los Angeles helping her brother
with a house project, the simple life gets complicated when British
television actor Ian Clarke walks into the picture.
Ian enjoys his celebrity status in
Hollywood and is determined nothing and no one will get in the way of
his plans for success on the big screen. He never counted on meeting a
woman like Liz, but she’s the only one who can help him with a personal
problem.
Forced into close quarters where
priorities and cultures clash, an intense attraction catches them both
by surprise. Secrets, old lovers and the paparazzi threaten their new
dreams and a chance for love could be lost forever.
When they
reached the front door of Danny’s house, Liz turned to Ian. “Thanks for
the escort. Now, get back over there and enjoy your party. I hope I
didn’t ruin it.”
You couldn’t ruin anything if you tried.” Ian leaned in and kissed her cheek. It was warm.
Next time, leave that shovel at home, ya here?” she said as a smile played at the corners of her full lips.
One day, I’ll pay you a compliment and you’ll accept it.”
You’re an actor. I might not believe anything that comes out of your mouth,” she said with a smirk and raised eyebrows.
He tsked. “So cynical. I wonder what made you that way?”
Liz
tilted her head to one side and her smile broadened as she shrugged.
Ian was caught in it, forgetting what he’d even said. There was
something about her. Not one thing, but many little things, all of which
added up to something really unexpected.
I’ve always
been this way. I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have said that. I didn’t mean to
imply that you aren’t a good actor. I honestly don’t know. But I Googled
you and you’ve been at it a long time, so I bet you’re pretty
talented.”
You Googled me?” Warmth spread through his
chest and his own smile broadened. It was ridiculous to be so enamored
by this Southern belle. Women searched for him online quite frequently,
but he didn’t know those women. This one was standing a few feet away,
breathing the same air. He was on the verge of asking her to dinner, but
stopped himself just in time. If he couldn’t think of another option,
she might be his caregiver and she definitely wouldn’t want to date him
then.
