Excerpt:
“You played me,” he said, but he didn’t sound mad. He
sounded impressed.
“It worked,” I said, pride suffusing my tone. “But the
scrapes are real.”
“Yeah, I feel terrible. Shall I go hunt down a Band-Aid for
you now? Oh wait. You carry them with you. You’re always prepared.”
“You never know when you might have to take a fall to be
first,” I said, and rooted around in the front pocket of my backpack for a Band-Aid.
I found one, peeled off the wrapping and started to press it onto my palm.
“Let me help,” he said in a soft voice, laying the ends of
the Band-Aid onto my skin. He stepped closer, his body now officially in the
zone of supreme nearness–the zone that would allow for hands to explore chests,
and arms to be wrapped around necks, and lips to lock again. I held my breath.
My hands tingled under his touch. “This is the part in the script where the
reformed bad boy touches the heroine for the second time,” he whispered.
I wanted to close my eyes and linger in the moment. But I
had to be stoic. I couldn’t say what I wanted to say. That this was the moment
when the heroine’s skin raced from the barest touch. So I lied. “This is the
part where the heroine doesn’t even notice.”
He raised an eyebrow. He held my gaze. I didn’t look away in
enough time. My breath caught, and my lips were parted. “Hi,” he whispered in a
voice that was getting under my skin.
“Hi,” I said against my better judgment, against my brain.
“Are we still on for the movie tomorrow?”
“You’re just asking me out because I’m the competition,
right? Keep your friends close and your enemies closer?”
“I’m asking because I want to go out with you. Not because
you’re the enemy.”
I scoffed. “At least you admitted I’m the enemy. That’s why
you’re asking me.”
He raised his hand, reaching gently for a strand of my hair.
My feet felt wobbly with him so near to me. The earth was suddenly operating at
a bizarre angle. I pressed my palm against the brick wall behind me to steady
myself as he ran a finger along my hair. So softly. “I swear,” he whispered,
pinning me with his gaze. “I truly want to see the movie with you. Say you’re
still going with me.”
About STARS IN THEIR EYES:
WARNING: The hero in this book is not an
asshole. He is hot, charming, smart, funny, ripped, gorgeous, respectful and
completely panty-melting. Please proceed.
A sexy and swoony new adult romance...
Celebrity photographer and college senior Jess Leighton
desperately needs to crash the wedding of the year. Snapping just one pic of
the A-list Hollywood couple tying the knot will pay her way through grad
school. But with security tighter than the bride-to-be's corset, she'll need
more than her camera and smarts, she'll need help from her biggest rival--hot,
British, motorcycle-riding William Harrigan, whose sexy accent can melt the
panties off any woman. He's the last person Jess should trust, but he's her
only ticket in.
William Harrigan wants one thing - to stay in L.A. past
college graduation. With a student visa set to expire, the clock is ticking.
When he lands a gig that pairs him with the beautiful blond spitfire Jess, he's
scored his best shot at living out the American dream. Winning her trust would
be a whole lot easier, however, if he didn't have ulterior motives...
But there's no faking the intense attraction between them.
Try as they might to resist each other, soon sparks are flying, as they devise
a plan to sneak into the ceremony. But when Jess' new celebrity client raises
the stakes, she starts to smell blackmail, and soon she and Will are chasing
down cheating directors, staking out clandestine trysts, and making fake IDs,
all while sneaking scene-stealing kisses and hot nights together.
The audience loves a happy ending, but in a town where
everyone's acting and no one's playing by the rules, can Jess and William find
their own ever after in time?
**Stars in Their Eyes is the start of the sexy,
swoony and scandalous new adult series Wrapped Up in Love, which is a spin-off
of the NYT and USA Today Bestselling Caught Up in Love series. You don't need
to have read Caught Up in Love to follow this new series, but you'll likely
enjoy those books!**
And don’t miss the FREE Prequel Novella, A STARSTRUCK KISS!
