ONE movie star on the cusp
of greatness
ONE broken girl who touched
him
TEN years to forget her
A MILLION stories in
Hollywood
I am not
hurt.
I don’t need a second chance with him, or a life I thought I had.
While he was out forgetting me to become a movie star, I was building a career out of nothing. A career as a paparazzi, but a career. For a foster kid who bounced around every home in Los Angeles, that wasn’t easy.
This camera is all I have.
He’s nothing to me. Every time I take his picture and sell it, I remind myself that I did it all without him or his approval, his cinnamon smell or his clear green eyes. He lights up the screen like a celestial body, but he’s nothing but a paycheck to me.
He can throw my camera off a balcony, and nothing has to change. We can stay king and queen of the same city, and different worlds.
Except this is Hollywood, and here, anything can happen.

My Review:
Received a copy, and I give this book 5 stars. WOW, this has to be the best book I have read in a while. Also it is the first book I have read from this author. I thought it was well written and amazing, I loved the concept of the storyline and the characters that were involved. Laine and Michael have great chemistry. I will def be reading more from this author!
Great Job!

Excerpt #1
I stroked his hair, waist deep in
peace, all worry gone for the moment, and floating in no more than an ocean of
gratitude. I must have been more vulnerable than I realized, or he’d reopened
some wound with his kindness, because though my sweet reverie stayed, as the
minutes passed, a layer of need fitted itself on top of it.
I needed to tell him, if not the
details, the outlines of who I was.
“I want you to know,” I whispered,
starting somewhere small, then everything I didn’t want to say spilled out. “I
have stuff. I’ve never been to jail, but you know, it’s stuff, and it’s ugly,
and it scares me. Because, I mean, you’re so perfect, and I’m… I’m just a mess.
I’m not whole. I’m a bunch of pieces of a person I cobbled together.” My eyes
got wet when I thought of the comparisons between us and that picture in my
silverware drawer. “So if you have to move on when you realize that, I’ll
understand. You have an image, and if anyone understands protecting a career,
it’s me. I mean, I’ll be mad, don’t get that wrong, but also.” I swallowed and
blinked, shifting my head so he wouldn’t feel the tear on his forehead. “I
won’t blame you.”
I waited for an answer. Anything. A
change in position or a word on any subject. The weather. Sports. Something.
But all he did was breathe.
I smiled so wide, tears fell into my
mouth. He was sleeping.
