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

“How can we fix this?” Emerson asked.


She sighed. “Finally, the right question. What did the doctor say about at home care?”


Finally, Sean leapt back into the conversation. He still stood by Macie like a wayward child. “She told me to see Dr. Warner in a week. I also got a prescription for an antibiotic cream.”


“Tomorrow, I’ll call and schedule your appointment. I can drop off and pick up your prescription as well. I think you need to keep away from the media till we see Dr. Warner. I don’t want any speculation that you’ve suffered a hand injury.”


“I can stay the week with Em,” Sean suggested, his voice suddenly hopeful. “The paparazzi won’t find me here. No one would think to look for me in a studio apartment in Midtown.”


Macie shook her head. “Your name is already connected to Emerson’s, and it wouldn’t be difficult forsomeone to get his information and find you holed up here.”
