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 erased what he had and rewrote his text. I will. Enjoy the rest of your day.


Emerson responded with a smiling emoji.


“Please get all that sighing out of your system before we get home,” Macie said from the front seat. “I really need you focused today. You’ve been slacking lately.”


Sean sat up and leaned forward so his chin rested on the top edge of her seat. “I’m nearly done with the album.”


“Missing two songs is not nearly done.”


“They aren’t missing. They’re in my head, somewhere.”


“You need them now.” She turned her head to peer at him. “Don’t let this new guy distract you too much. Work first. Play later.”


“Yeah, yeah,” he said, returning to his reclined position. And just like that, inspiration hit. He sat up quickly. ”Yeah, yeah,” he repeated, but in two, distinct notes. “Shit! I’ve got it!”
