Drama teacher Abby Devlin has always dreamed of being a world-famous actress. While stardom has proven elusive, she has made a name for herself at McMillan Playhouse, where she’s just been cast in a production she wrote. Her triumph turns to dread when she learns that McMillan has cast a soap star as her new leading man. After a painful divorce, Dean Altman, former soap star and a single dad, moved back home to Galveston, Texas, with his young daughter, Preslie. It doesn’t take long for him to feel the itch to step back into the acting world, which brings him to McMillan’s stage. There is a fire between Abby and Dean when they meet in rehearsal, but not the good kind. Sizzling tension leads to drama both on and off-stage, but when they are forced to work together for the sake of the play, they begin to give in to the undeniable chemistry between them. Before they truly have a chance to understand what they might have, however, an opportunity presents itself to Dean--one that could make or break their budding relationship. -- Adapted from back cover.
