Sean Stirling isn’t having a good day. Hearing snide comments on a photoshoot, he storms off, not caring that he looks every inch a celebrity throwing a tantrum. Things get worse when he falls on the ice-covered street. As a car comes barreling toward him, there’s nothing he can do to prevent his fate. Luckily, Emerson Willis is there to save the day. Emerson pushes the man from the street, then gets bamboozled into accompanying the stranger to the hospital. After Emerson sees himself on television, he realizes the man he saved is a pop star. Now, Sean is smitten and eager to thank his rescuer. Emerson, whose mind is still spinning, can’t tell what to think about the sudden attention. Can the musician convince Emerson they’re made for each other? Or will Emerson dismiss it all as the passing fancy of a rich and famous man?

Double Act

Sean growled in frustration. “Jake, yes! They’re discharging me right now. Please, just bring the car.”


He sighed, then hung up. His eyes glanced at Emerson again. “Sorry about that. So, my ride’s on its way. Can you stay with me till then?”


Against his better judgement, Emerson nodded. He didn’t want to admit that he’d been taken in by Sean’s pretty eyes, so he told himself it was the right thing to do. Ninotchka would be fine for a whilelonger.


Sean still gripped Emerson’s hand. Now, Sean’s thumb began to caress the skin gently.


“So,” Sean said casually, “do you have a boyfriend or girlfriend?”


“Are you in the market for one? A boyfriend, I mean.”


Emerson chuckled. It was an interesting way to inquire after Emerson’s sexual orientation. “Yes, a boyfriend sounds nice.”


Sean made an interested noise, like he’d just found a new toy. “Well, I happen to be in the market for one, too.”
