The Love Plot

Theres a magnetic attraction when a happy-go-lucky gig worker agrees to a fake relationship with a rich, uptight New Yorker in this steamy romantic comedy from New York Times bestselling author Samantha Young.

Star Shine Meadows is all about freedom, thanks to the hippie parents who raised her. Juggling her jobs as a professional costume character actor and a line sitter, she believes in no expectations, no stressful ambitions, and no-strings-attached relationships. So when she meets a birthday girls grumpy uncle while working a princess party, she cant help but needle him. Shell never see him again, and honestly, hes pretty hot.

Rafe Whitman may be a veterinarian with a great bedside manner, but that doesnt mean his patience extends to anyone with opposable thumbs. His family will not stop nagging him about finding the one, so when he runs into obnoxiously cheery Star again, he makes her an offer: Hell pay her more than she would make doing her odd jobs if shell pretend to be his girlfriend at family gatherings. She can stop sitting in line waiting for someone elses new phone, and hell get his family off his back.

When the tension between them heats to a breaking point, Stars desire for no strings is tested against Rafes staunch stability. They say opposites attract, after all . . .
