A former teacher turned aspiring actress, I abandoned my old life for a shot at Hollywood stardom. After my ex's betrayal made returning to the classroom unbearable, I followed my grandmother's lead and took the leap into the entertainment industry. Working as a nobody on a film set means invisibility—until I miss the shuttle back to LA and find myself abandoned in the wilderness. Fortune smiles when I discover a luxurious lake house stocked with supplies, my unexpected sanctuary. Then he arrives: Zander, a muscular stranger bleeding and soaking wet, materializing from nowhere. I nurse him back to health, and what unfolds over the next seventy-two hours ignites something neither of us anticipated. But Zander vanishes as mysteriously as he appeared, leaving behind only questions. When he resurfaces in the last location I'd ever expect to see him, the truth emerges—his reasons for keeping people at arm's length run deeper than distrust. Especially of actresses. * * Craving Alpha Male Protectors, Opposites Attract chemistry, Accidental Romance, and Steamy Action-Adventure with a guaranteed HEA?
