In
the land of Hollywood, bright lights cover lies, truths hide in
shadows, and the lives of the rich and famous are illusions created by
smoke and mirrors.
When costume designer Josie Bane first lays
eyes on Anders Ellis, she hates him instantly. Conceited and arrogant,
he's the epitome of a Hollywood playboy. So it’s much to Josie’s dismay
when he becomes the star of her sexual fantasies.
Never expecting
to see him again, she gives in to her desires for a night she’ll never
forget. However, Josie soon learns that life is full of surprises. When
their paths cross again, sparks fly. With three little words, Anders
changes everything.
He’s after one thing.
She refuses to give it to him... again.
When
Josie realizes she’s falling for a man that will never let her in but
refuses to let her go, she must decide if the risk is worth the reward.
With
a relationship shrouded in secrets and outside forces poised to tear
them apart, did they ever stand a chance? Before the smoke clears and
the curtain falls, Josie and Anders must distinguish between what’s fact
and what’s fiction in a place where the truth is never black and white.
Excerpt
“Hello?”
“I
don’t know what kind of place Argent is running, but they need to get a
handle on their employees.” Anders’ voice was stern and playful, making
Josie laugh then sigh.
“I
bet it’s the costume department, isn’t it? It is, right? I swear,” she
exhaled. “You can’t find good help anywhere these days.”
“It
really is quite sad. Is it asking too much for the beautiful Costume
Supervisor to be in my trailer wearing only a tie when I walk through
the door? For modeling purposes, of course.”
Josie laughed, her heart skipping. “Of course.”
“It feels weird being back.” He spoke quieter, his tone softer.
“I walked outside this morning and my makeup didn’t slide off my face from sweating. It was very disconcerting.”
“Get your ass to my trailer and I’ll have you sweating in no time.”
“Mr.
Ellis, that sounds highly unprofessional,” she chastised, grabbing her
clipboard and heading toward his trailer. “We both know how you feel
about remaining professional on the job.”
“Well I see your smart mouth found its way back to LA.” Anders shook his head, a small smile tugging up the corner of his mouth.
Josie
grinned and pushed open his door but continued to speak into her phone.
“If I didn’t know better, I’d swear you sound relieved.”
Anders
snapped his head to the side, a wicked gleam in his eyes as he stood
from his chair, his phone still pressed to his ear. “Relieved is a bit
of a stretch. Although, I must admit, I’ve thought of some creative ways
to shut you up.”
Josie licked her lips and dropped her phone to her side. “Creative?”
Anders
tossed his on the vanity and crossed the room. He wrapped his arms
around her waist and kissed her before whispering in her ear.
“You have no idea.”
“I
have a few.” Josie grinned and hugged him close, her eyes falling shut
and the tightness in her chest loosening for the first time that day.
Anders leaned his forehead against Josie’s. “Is it weird that I missed you?”
“Totally
weird. You’re such a freak.” Her tone was playful, but the strain in
her voice and the softness in her eyes showed her true feelings.
