Synopsis
A single, overweight college professor.
A TV producer looking
for a replacement actress.
A chance meeting that
changes both their lives.
Dr. Bella Hopkins is
looking for love. The forever kind. But instead, she gets a role in a new
sitcom, when she runs into Hollywood-screenwriter-turned-producer Jamie Star at
the supermarket.
Jamie wants his first
show to succeed. He didn’t count on the lead actress injuring herself and
pulling out last minute. When he meets Bella, who looks exactly like the
actress he just lost, Jamie is convinced that the solution to his problem is
simple—convince the college professor to act in his show.
But a misplaced sext,
almost kiss, and crazy co-actress later, what started out as a simple solution
turns into a problem of its own...

Excerpt
What were the
odds of meeting your future husband at Trader Joe’s?
Because that
might’ve just happened. Seriously.
“Hi, I was
wondering if....” Bella stammered to the cute guy she’d spotted checking out
Brussel spouts.
Tall. Check.
Hot. Check.
Not texting. Check.
Blue eyes. Check.
Buys expensive
food he’s probably never gonna eat. Check.
“If you were
interested in....”
Don’t, don’t,
don’t. She wasn’t going to make a fool of herself by approaching a random
stranger, telling him that she found him sexy and giving him her number. Only
desperate women did that.
Well, she was
desperate. But still.
No, she needed
to start a conversation. Flirt up a storm. Get him to ask for her number.
“...interested
in telling me where you found those—” Scanning his cart, she named the first
item she saw. “…carrots?”
“They’re right
here,” he said, pointing to the heaps of carrots that were right under her
nose.
Wow, that was
embarrassing.
“Thanks.” Bella
moistened her lips, hoping that would take his attention off her stupidity.
“You know...I’m visually impaired sometimes.”
Wait...what was
she saying? She wasn’t visually impaired. “I mean, I can see well most of the
time, but I can’t see well sometimes.”
“Medical
condition?” His voice was sympathetic.
Her nod was
embarrassingly vigorous. “Right.”
“What’s it
called?” Interest flickered in his gray eyes. “If you don’t mind telling me.
I’m a doctor. An ophthalmologist. I’ve never heard of a condition like yours.
I’m curious.”
Bella’s
flirtatious grin slid right off her face. Of everything he could be, he had to
be an ophthalmologist, didn’t he? Why was her luck so screwed?
“I don’t know
what it’s called...um...are you shopping by yourself?” she stammered, trying to
divert him from her medical condition.
Diversion always
worked.
He shrugged casually.
“With my partner. He’s over there.”
His gaze darted
to a man by the freezer. Equally handsome. Equally gay.
She should’ve
seen that coming.
“Great.” Bella’s
voice dropped faster than the price of stocks in a recession. “Nice talking to
you.”
Turning on her
heel, she almost raced down the aisle, not even stopping for Cookie Butter,
which she knew she needed to get. Her lip jutted out as she closed her eyes,
and her inner critic started nagging her. She was such an idiot sometimes.
Not paying attention,
she stopped when she bumped into something hard.
A shoulder.
Someone’s shoulder. Before she could blink, he said, “I’m sorry.”
The clearest
pair of blue eyes she’d ever encountered appraised her, and she tumbled back,
involuntarily.
