Synopsis

All Alicia Johnson has ever wanted is to be able to slip into someone else's life, clothing, and makeup to become a murderess, a socialite, or a nurse for an episode or a season. Being an actress comes with a healthy dose of financial insecurity and a willingness to live out of two jammed suitcases, ready to go wherever the next director wants her. Up until now, it's been worth it for the creative escape and the thrill of applause.

All Colin St. Cyr has ever wanted is to win, going all-in to get Congress to see things his clients' way. Despite being a Brit in Washington, DC, he is well off, well connected . . . and well on his way to becoming a bachelor forevermore after a heinous breakup. Especially as he's just made an arse of himself with the first woman who has knocked him sideways in years. It won't matter how much money he donates to the theater; Alicia is still going to look at him like a goddess looks at a flea. The only thing he can do is use his persuasive skills to talk her into giving him a second chance.

The stage is set, but by the final act, is it a love story between the provocative actress and the cultured power-player or will it end in tragedy?

Contains mature themes.

It gives the reader an intriguing p......more

Goodreads review by Amanda

Very enjoyable, mostly low-conflict contemporary romance set in DC between a lobbyist and an actress. I liked that (view spoiler)[there was no question of her giving up her career/quitting her current role, especially because of the nude scene situation. (hide spoiler)] The pacing was a little strange for me -there was never a bi......more
