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

A tear suddenly trickled from the corner of his eye. If he had stitches in his palm, he couldn’t play guitar in three weeks. There was no way. He’d fucked it up. He had completely ruined his own future.


“Will we have to cancel the shows?” he asked, his voice heavy with emotion.


Macie’s hand was on his shoulder and the look of sympathy deepened in her eyes. “We’ll have to talk with Jake about our options. It was only three stitches. It won’t take you long to heal. But you definitely won’t be able to play during the first week of the tour.”


He was crying now. “I’m sorry. I’m sorry I’m so stupid.”


Her voice had a scolding edge it. “Sean, don’t call yourself stupid. I do it enough for both of us.”


He smiled up at her through his tears and she grinned back.


“This was an accident,” she continued. “Sometimes these things just happen. Don’t freak out until we know we can’t fix this.”
