Two Wrongs Don't Make a Playwright
Seven years ago, Kate Martino walked away from Nick Clarke right before his big break.
She built a practical life in the small town where he grew up. He became Hollywood's hottest leading man.
They both moved on... or so they say.
Except when Kate's carefully constructed world falls apart-she loses a key exhibit, she breaks off her engagement-the one person who could fix her career is the last person she wants to ask.
Nick's spent seven years proving he's moved on. He dated actresses, won Emmys, crafted an image of effortless success.
But he never stopped keeping pieces of her: Her paintings, her textbooks, her furniture. He built his whole empire using the stage name she gave him.
When Kate shows up desperate in his Hollywood Hills mansion, Nick offers her a deal: Pretend seven years of silence didn't change things. Go back to being just friends.
Just friends. Friends who take road trips. And kiss good night. And maybe go skinny dipping...
Friends who definitely aren't falling back in love...
But is it really falling back in love if you never fell out of it?
The problem? Their lives still don't fit.
His world is film premieres and shooting schedules that span continents. Hers is an art gallery in their hometown. She left because their dreams pulled them in opposite directions.
But some things haven't changed. The way he looks at her like she's the only real thing in his manufactured world. The way she still knows exactly when he's nervous. The way they fit together like no time has passed at all.
Can they choose each other without him giving up his dreams-or her disappearing into his shadow?
Tropes: Second-chance romance - Celebrity romance - Best friend's brother - Forced proximity - He fell first (and hardest) - Chosen family - Resourceful heroine - Smart yet pretentious Shakespeare-obsessed hero
A second-chance celebrity romance about incompatible lives, undeniable chemistry, and learning that sometimes love isn't about perfect timing-it's about choosing each other anyway.
