Can a Marine on a mission handle Hollywood’s hottest star? The sparks on the action movie set are nothing compared to the ones flying between them…
Olivia Quinn succeeds through simplicity and discipline, whether she’s dominating in the gym, serving her military career with honor, or preparing for her dream of working in Hollywood. But when her hotshot director brother unexpectedly makes her the military consultant on his latest action film, her structured plans go out the window and she’s thrown into an unfamiliar working world with hotshot action star Chris Blackstone. The cocky actor is everything she can’t stand— all self-important chiseled abs, condescending, and charming to everyone but her.
Chris is determined to make Desert Strike the blockbuster hit his new production company needs. A fake PR romance with his popular co-star keeps the public’s attention on the movie and distracts the media from his messy family drama. The last thing he has time for is clashing with a no-nonsense Marine consultant who sees right through his act—or falling for her.
But staged explosions give way to real chemistry neither of them can ignore. When Chris’s ghosts and the paparazzi twist their connection into a media firestorm, he faces a brutal choice: protect the career and image he works so hard for—or fight for the woman who makes him feel like a real person. And under the burning spotlight, Olivia must decide: is she strong enough to withstand the glare, be honest with herself, and open her heart to the vulnerability of love?
