What It Takes: The Rocky Creek Series 1

By Kathryn Ascher

After graduating from college, Kelsey Morgan left her secrets and her small-town Virginia roots to make it in LA. After years of slogging in commercials and music videos, her movie career is finally taking off. But she's still miles behind her current costar, Patrick Lyons, who has a reputation of loving his costars, then leaving them for the next one. Kelsey does everything she can to avoid Patrick off-set, hoping not to become fodder for the supermarket tabloids that scour the streets for Patrick, trying to get an exclusive look at him and his alleged woman of the week.

Kelsey has successfully kept Patrick at a distance and her reputation intact until her drunkard brother-in-law Richard threatens to ruin everything by selling her darkest secret to the highest bidder. Now the victim of blackmail, Kelsey has nowhere else to turn but to Patrick's arms. But can he be trusted? Or will the past destroy them all before she can find out if he's the hero she needs?

What It Takes is a family saga and the first in a series.
