By: Mae Archer

Synopsis:

She’s fallen for his greatest role. But can she fall for him?

Former soap star Tom Calvert dreams of making movies that matter. To get the part of a lifetime he becomes a method actor, living as Beau Tennant, a war hero with a disabling injury. While in character he meets Maree Reynard, a costume designer, and takes her on a date. But when this practice date becomes all too real he realizes that he’s made the mistake of a lifetime. Will he be able to get Maree to fall in love with Tom Calvert?

Maree Reynard’s father is an actor and she has grown up on a studio lot. She has no illusions about the artifice of the movie-making business and has vowed she would never date an actor. When she meets and falls in love with Beau Tennant she knows that she’s found her dream man who is genuine and real. But when Beau disappears from her life she is heartbroken. She meets Tom Calvert on the rebound and sees their flirtation as a way of recovering her shattered confidence. Will Tom Calvert be able to convince her he is the real deal?

Excerpt

Tom ran and caught up to her. ‘Hi,’ he said, catching her eye as he fell into step beside her.
‘No.’ Maree sped up.
‘You don’t even know the question.’ Tom laughed despite himself.
‘I don’t need to,’ Maree said. ‘It’s always going to be no.’
Tom was thrown. This was not how he’d imagined the conversation to go.
She was walking away and he only had a second to come up with a way of stopping her.
‘Even if I told you I’ve got tickets to the Oliver Stone premiere.’ He blurted out the first thing that came to mind, and flashed his best movie-star smile. ‘Everyone who’s anybody will be there.’
‘Not everyone,’ she said, matter-of-factly.
Her voice had an edge and Tom realized that she wasn’t playing a flirtation game with him. She really didn’t want to go out with him.
