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?

“That seems like a big switch from Carl Flores.”


Sean forced a chuckle. “Yeah, well Carl was the only boyfriend I’ve had who’s been in show business as well. I’m more than happy being with someone who doesn’t have an equally hectic life.”


“And Carl has set his sight on Travis Ross—an even bigger name in the music business. Do you feel he’s trying to upgrade, while you’ve downgraded?”


The callousness of the question didn’t startle Sean. That was the way certain people thought; she was simply stating the opinion of a large portion of the population.


“No, of course not. At their core, a person is a person, no matter their job. This is a new  in my life. Doesn’t mean the previous  was better or worse, only different.”


“An interesting way to view it. Now what about the tour you’re kicking off next month? Can your budding relationship sustain three weeks on the road?”


He smiled as graciously as he knew how. “I guess we’ll see when the tour is over.”
