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

“What are you drinking?” Emerson asked. “I’ll get it for you.”


Sean’s lips puckered. “I was going to treat you, but you’ve already bought one.”


“Honestly, it was two dollars. Tell me what you want.”


Emerson went to the counter and ordered Sean’s drink. The barista didn’t even glance at the table. Sean’s identity was still secret.


She brewed the latte and handed it over with a smile. Emerson slipped a few dollars into the tip jar.


He returned to Sean with the hot cup in his hand.


Sean’s eyes light up. “Emerson, I can’t believe you just bought me a coffee. I wanted to treat you.”


A sparkle shown deep in Sean’s green eyes. “Next time? There’ll be a next time?”


Emerson’s smile was slow. “Now there will be, since you owe me a coffee.”
