Book Description
When an Oscar-winning movie star meets a department-store photographer…
Movie star Nic Lamoureux appears to have a playboy’s perfect life. But it’s a part he plays, an act designed to conceal a dark secret he carries on his shoulders. His empty days and nights are a meaningless blur until he meets the woman who fulfills all his dreams. She and her son are the family he’s always wanted—if she can forgive a horrible mistake from his past.
A Hollywood dream…
Lauren James, a widowed single mother, earns barely enough money to support herself and her son. When she wins a photography contest and meets Nic, the man who stars in all her fantasies, her dreams, both professional and personal, are on the verge of becoming real. The attraction between Lauren and Nic is instant—and mutual. Their chemistry burns out of control during a photo shoot that could put Lauren on the fast track to a lucrative career.
Becomes a Hollywood nightmare
But an ill-advised kiss makes front-page news, and the lurid headlines threaten everything Nic and Lauren have hoped for. Before they know what’s happening, their relationship is further rocked by an obsessed and cunning stalker who’ll stop at nothing—not even murder—to have Nic to herself. When Nic falls for Lauren, the stalker zeroes in on her as the competition.
And the competition must be eliminated.

About the Author
From Kristine Cayne's Website [see links at the end of this post]: "Romance is my passion. I have been reading romance novels since I was twelve years old. At first, I was a dedicated Harlequin Romance reader. As I got older, my tastes moved more toward single title historical romances and by the time I finished college, I was attracted to contemporary romances. But, I simply could not resist vampires and shifters of all kinds after reading Anne Rice's Vampire books.
Lately, I find myself absolutely captivated by any romance that has flawed characters who are forced by internal and external challenges to change and grow in order to hold onto the love they share.
For me, the best reads are an adventure, a true roller coaster ride. I want to laugh and cry as I frantically turn the pages to see what happens next."
Kristine Cayne is fascinated by the mysteries of human psychology—twisted secrets, deep-seated beliefs, out-of-control desires. Add in high-stakes scenarios and real-world villains, and you have a story worth writing, and reading.
Today Kristine lives in the Pacific Northwest, thriving on the mix of cultures, languages, religions and ideologies. When she’s not writing, she’s people-watching, imagining entire life stories, and inventing all sorts of danger for the unsuspecting heroes and heroines who cross her path.
In between writing, revising and editing, Kristine blogs and tweets actively on Twitter.
