🏹 Best friend's brother

💓 Forced proximity

☯️ Opposites attract

For a hot second, aspiring playwright Kate Connolly’s dreams almost came true. Almost. Seeing her work onstage in New York City was nearly a reality…until the star, her best friend, had a mimosa-induced accident. Now she’s a week away from opening night, she’s missing her leading man and she’s on the verge of losing her venue. But finding the perfect understudy with an unforgettable voice is an impossible task. That is, until the answer falls right into her lap. Or rather, into her shower.

Because right at this moment, her bestie’s outrageously hot older brother is currently belting out tunes from her bathroom. Now all Kate has to do is convince Jackson Reese to star in her show. Because what hot, brawny construction guy who hates New York would turn down being in an off-Broadway showcase paying tribute to iconic New York rom coms?

The role of the show’s star will be played by a working-class hottie from Jersey.

Swap and Smell the Roses by Karen Booth (grumpy/sunshine roommates!)

Cynthia St. Aubin wrote her first play at age eight and made her brothers perform it for the admission price of gum wrappers. A steal, considering she provided the wrappers in advance. When she was tall enough to reach the top drawer of her parents' dresser, she began pilfering her mother's secret stash of romance novels and has been in love with love ever since. A confirmed cheese addict and aspiring cat lady, she lives in Texas with a handsome musician.
