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

Then it was rushing out the door, chugging a protein shake on the drive, and being hustled into makeup at the America Today studio. Macie handled all the background necessities—giving them the basic info of the tour, the topics that were or weren’t to be discussed. Jake hovered, making sure the makeup artist did an adequate job. After all, if they failed, it was a reflection on Jake—or so he claimed.


When Macie returned from whatever tasks she’d finished, she glared down at Sean. “Keep the talk aboutEmerson to a minimum.”


Before Sean could even argue, Jake spoke up. “Macie, the public loves a good romance. We should let this one run its course. Drum up the publicity while we can.”


“You know that statistics show sales are down when Sean has a boyfriend.”


Jake shook his head. “Emerson’s already in this. Sean dating a dick like Carl is seen one way. Sean dating the man who saved his life is an entirely different monster. We run with it.”
