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

“We’ve just received word that Sean Stirling was taken to a local hospital after nearly being hit by acar. We have footage of a good Samaritan pushing Mr. Stirling out of the way of an oncoming truck.”


There, on the screen was Emerson and Sean.


Sean followed Jake into the limo, hardly even paying attention to the rundown exterior of Emerson’s building. The guy lived in Manhattan, so he wasn’t doing too bad, despite the lackluster decor of the apartment. His suit had also been of good quality.


Shit! It might have gotten dirty, or torn, from the rescue operation!


Sean determined he’d pay for the dry cleaning, or the cost of a new suit.


He plopped himself onto the seat, then turned around to watch Emerson as they drove away. Once they rounded the corner, he faced Jake. Rachel—their driver—took the next right and headed deeper into thecity.


“Macie’s been calling me like crazy,” Jake told him. “Check your phone.”
