Posing in Paradise

Would you pretend to be engaged to the celebrity who got you fired?

When a down-on-her-luck costumer agrees to a fake relationship for quick cash, the last thing she expects is to fall for a celebrity she despises.

Margo Wells hates everything about Hollywood. Especially actors. But she loves her job as a wardrobe supervisor, until a spoiled film legend has her fired for an accident on set that wasn’t even her fault. Margo faces the real possibility of returning home to Minnesota in defeat. That is until a friend suggests a crazy solution: pose as his cousin’s fiancée for a family wedding in Hawaii and earn some cold, hard cash.

There’s just one problem. It turns out the cousin in question is none other than Caroline Jacobs, the woman responsible for Margo losing her job. Unfortunately, there’s too much at stake to back out, especially after a desperate Caroline offers to triple Margo’s pay to go through with the charade.

What could go wrong?

How about three of Caroline’s most famous exes showing up at the same exclusive island resort at the same time?

Now Caroline and Margo will have to turn in the performances of their lives to avoid being caught in a lie. But can Margo survive being trapped for two weeks in paradise with so many Hollywood A-listers without choking on her lines? Or worse, falling madly in love with the beguiling blond she’s sworn to hate?

If you enjoy reading steamy, enemies to lovers, celebrity romance with a lot of heart, this latest collaboration from Miranda MacLeod and TB Markinson is the perfect summer beach read.

What an incredible story! This should be made into a movie (imagine that, a movie about movie stars!)

This has to be the best co-write TB and Miranda have produced so far. And that’s one hell of an accolade.
