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

“You sure you’re okay?” Emerson asked.


Sean moved his hand—his uninjured one—down to the top of Emerson’s head. He gently laced his fingersthrough Emerson’s hair. “I’m good, Em. That felt amazing. You’re very in tune with my body. You reacted perfectly to what I wanted.”


Emerson felt a pleased grin curved his lips. “I told you that you were easy to read. But don’t be afraid to speak up if I’m doing something wrong.”


The gentle pet of Sean’s fingers stilled for a moment. “I’m sure you never do anything wrong. I’m seeing just how perfect you are.”


“Don’t say that. To see me, you have to see my flaws, too.”


“Flaws? They haven’t shown up yet. I’ll keep my eyes open, though.”


Emerson sighed. “We should probably get you in the shower to get you cleaned off.”


He raised his head and glanced at the clock on the microwave. “About nine-thirty.”


“Not sure I have a movie in me tonight, then.”
