About this ebook

It wasn't just a role this time... 

Xavier Duran is ready for the breakthrough film role of his career, and he thinks he's found it.

Not only does this new job take Xavier to the beautiful countryside of Spain, it also takes him right into the arms of his silver screen crush, Hollywood hunk, Dennis Herbert.

Dennis may be gorgeous but everyone knows he's straight. Or is he?

Lines blur and soon Xavier can't tell if Dennis is just playing his lover or if he wants to take on the role off-screen as well. And what about Dennis' beautiful model girlfriend?

Xavier has been burned before, and he isn't sure he wants to be the secret lover again. He's certainly not ready to risk his feelings on something deeper.

But passion presides and soon Xavier and Dennis are tangled in a web of fraught emotions and uncertain advances.

Is this only a fling? Or is this the beginning of a real romance?

One thing's for certain, it's going to be a scorcher of a summer.

Ratings and reviews

I'm truly a fan now but I'm not going to lie...I really was kind of put out on how the book started. I really don't like reading the present then backtracking to the past...basically prologues....love epilogues, hate prologues but anyway I remember doing a hard eye roll and breathing a deep sigh and saying I don't want to finish this geesh but OMG...I'm glad I gave it a chance. The author tied the entire timeline so well I wasn't salty no more. He did a really good job getting me hooked to story of Xavier and Dennis. It was really emotional and intense in the beginning and you learn why Xavier is going through that emotional rollercoaster with Dennis. I loved both guys but I was a little bit more team Xavier. He knew what he was getting into with Dennis would eventually lead to heartache but he was willing to take chance...so many feels...Their time together in Spain was special and it would have been so much better and less stressful if there were less assumptions and more confessions. When they were apart, I believe both were able to be honest about their feelings and when they reconnected it was sweet. Dennis really redeemed himself in my eyes..very romantic ending. Loved it! I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
