When top-fashion designer Helena Vogue travels to Paris to charm elusive and legendary male model Francine DuPont for her come-back-to-the-top campaign, a misunderstanding brings her face-to-face with charming Irish actor Liam Walsh--whom she believes is Francine. Instead of clearing the air, Liam plays along, captivated by Helena's humor, ambition, and vulnerability. Their dizzying romance unfolds against the sparkling lights of Paris, the perfect fantasy built on one stunning lie. But when the truth comes out, Helena is devastated. Betrayed and heartbroken, she heads back to New York to rescue her campaign with the actual Francine, who is more difficult to handle than any runway. And as the year's major fashion show is just around the corner, Helena devotes herself to work, trying to push from her mind the man who betrayed her--and the emotions that she can't seem to eliminate. Liam, wracked with guilt and longing, gives up his burgeoning career to chase his heart to New York to make things right. When he returns to her life just days before the show, Helena must decide between safeguarding her heart--or taking a leap of faith for a love conceived in mayhem and designer finery. The Acteur is a witty, sensual romance brimming with spiky comebacks, hot kisses, and the glamorous fashion industry, where aspiration and desire become intertwined on the runway--and second chances always seem better to you.
