wins the lead role.
Sadie Layne, a creative and motivated high school drama teacher, is grateful for second chances. After surviving breast cancer, she embarks on a celebratory trip to LA with her two best friends. Sadie never expected to run into the handsome and charming Vince De Carlo in the hotel lobby. She hasn’t seen Vince much since they worked together in a theater company years ago. Their meeting interrupts her plans and reminds her of the life she left behind.
Vince, a struggling actor and cover model, is in LA to promote a television pilot. His old attraction to Sadie is stronger than ever. He never forgot her, even though a trusted friendship and a scripted kiss was all they’d shared.
The reunited pair give in to temptation, but reality soon collides with lust as strong doubts about their blossoming romance get in the way. Sadie dreads facing her defeat as an actress, and Vince doesn’t think a struggling actor like himself is capable of providing the accomplished teacher with what she deserves.
Will the couple find a way to keep their sizzling romance alive and build a future together? Or will their uncertainty win the lead role and smother the flames?

Excerpt:
“I’m
here for the week.” She wiggled away and stood directly in front of
him. She parted her lips and put on a sultry stare. Sadie took hold
of his heart.
“You
look more stunning than ever tonight.” Vince kept his voice low.
Then, he
acted on impulse. He placed his hands on the sides of her face. When
she responded with a smile, he couldn’t resist another minute. His
heart soared as he gazed down at her. Sadie uttered a soft moan as
their lips met. She reached up and placed her arms around his neck,
quivered slightly, and nestled up against him, as if she’d wanted
him to kiss her all along. His knees weakened as he sampled the sweet
peach lip-gloss on her soft, luscious lips.
As he
savored each moment, his heart pounded in his ears. If he didn’t
break free, he wouldn’t be able to stop himself. He was afraid to
open his eyes to find it was all a dream. Vince tried to keep his
cool as his breathing sped up like he’d run a marathon. His head
spun with thoughts of making love to this amazing woman. Oh, how he
wanted to show her how much she meant to him, but he’d wait. One
thing he had learned from the way his father had treated his mother
was to respect a woman. Sadie deserved so much more. Once their
tender moment ended, he stood back, lost in her gaze.
“I’m
crazy about you, Sadie. I always have been, but if I’m going too
fast, please stop me.” He spoke close to her ear. Vince ran his
finger along her cheek and gently lifted her chin. “We met up again
this many miles away from Jersey for a reason.” He pushed a strand
of her silky, blonde hair away from her beautiful eyes.
“You
might have something there,” she agreed. “Don’t worry, I’ll
let you know if you get out of line.”
She gave
him a seductive stare and devilish smirk, which was out of character
for Sadie, but he liked it. She had always been warm and friendly,
but not the kind of girl who’d make a first move. Although, she did
mention how her cancer scare changed her views on life. Whatever the
reason for exposing her sensual side, it was certainly working in his
favor.
