THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: Cosmopolitan Grey Brooks is on a mission to keep her career afloat
now that the end of her long-running teen TV show has her (unsuccessfully) pounding the
pavement again. With a life-changing role on the line she’s finally desperate enough to agree
to her publicist’s scheme: fake a love affair with a disgraced Hollywood heartthrob who needs
the publicity but for very different reasons. Ethan Atkins just wants to be left alone.
Between his high-profile divorce struggles with drinking and grief over the death of his
longtime creative partner and best friend Ethan has slowly let himself fade into the
background. But if he ever wants to produce the last movie he and his partner wrote together
Ethan needs to clean up his reputation and step back into the spotlight. A gossip-inducing
affair with a gorgeous actress might be just the ticket even if it’s the last thing he wants
to do. Though their juicy public relationship is less than perfect behind the scenes it
doesn’t take long before Grey and Ethan’s sizzling chemistry starts to feel like more than just
an act. But after decades in a ruthless industry that requires bulletproof emotional armor to
survive are they too used to faking it to open themselves up to the real thing?
