      The gentle tap-tap at her door broke her concentration

      Jewel frowned. The knock sounded too damn familiar. The fact that she now recognized it as Taye’s bid for entry into her dressing room—and that it sent her heart into a spin—was ridiculous!

      Without asking who it was, she finished wiping off her makeup and flung open the door. Taye stepped in, closed it and simply stood and watched her. Jewel glared at her visitor, not sure where to start, her careful analysis of the situation suddenly evaporating.

      What should I do? Play a role or play it out for real? However she didn’t have time to speak, and didn’t resist when she saw the flicker of desire in his eyes and felt his grip on her upper arms as he swept her flush against his chest.

      “Everyone’s gone,” he murmured.

      “Why did you come here?” she groaned against his shirt, knowing she had lost her battle of wills.

      To my husband, Crawford, with love.

      Dear Reader,

      Turn off the TV and enter the soap-opera world of Jewel Blaine, the sexy lead actress on The Proud and the Passionate, as she falls under the spell of her handsome director, Taye Elliott.

      Jewel has risen to the top of her game by playing and living by a strict set of rules, but once Taye steps onto the set, her code to live by is quickly forgotten.

      The fast-paced world of daytime television is the perfect medium for Taye—a stuntman turned director who has a lot to prove and a serious secret to hide. But as you know, Hollywood is not a place where secrets stay hidden for very long. As Jewel and Taye dodge prying eyes, they soon discover that there is no escaping the spotlight that shines on their emerging love.

      Enjoy! If you want to drop me a line, please e-mail me at [email protected].

      Read with love!

      Galveston Island

      “Come home with me, baby. Tonight.”

      “You know that’s impossible.”

      “Nothing’s impossible, Caprice. Not if you want it badly enough, and if you loved me half as much as you say you do, you’d leave this island tonight and come home.”

      “But, Darin…we can’t return to Elm Valley together. Think of the scandal. It’ll be better if you go ahead, and then I show up. I’ve got too much…”

      “Cut!” A voice burst from the dark edges of the brightly lit patch of beach. Although the sun had set more than two hours ago, dissolving into Galveston Bay like a ball of liquid gold, huge overhead lights flooded the shoreline and created an island of activity in the otherwise-deserted cove.

      Immediately, a fussy wardrobe attendant rushed onto the set and wrapped a thick white robe around Jewel Blaine, who smiled her thanks and closed it over her tiny gold bikini. The actress who played Caprice СКАЧАТЬ
