GENRE: Contemporary
Romance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Sandra Moyer’s
preschool is struggling, so she reluctantly agrees to let super-famous actor
Ben Capshaw research a role there. Ben’s always joking around, never serious,
but there’s something about the buttoned-up, beautiful Sandra and her young
daughter that makes him want to take life more seriously. But Sandra won’t
trust him—what if it’s all an act, research for the role? As the lines between
make-believe and reality blur, Ben will have to decide if love is worth casting
aside the role of his life for a new role…that could last a lifetime.

Excerpt One:
From the corner of her eye, Sandra Moyer noticed a tall,
bearded man leaning against the playground fence and automatically tensed.
Because she was a single mom and alone, her paranoid nature already labeled him
a felon, although technically he was doing nothing wrong. In fact, come to
think of it, he had a pretty nice body with those real-life Hulk arms and broad
chest. She didn’t know what that made her for noticing something like that
about a man she assumed was on some Family Watchdog list, but the phrase “cheap
and desperate” came to mind.
Since when did I start ogling the physiques of strange men?
Her shoulders wilted as she brooded over that question. She
obviously needed to get out more. She needed to just get out. The problem was
she didn’t see herself doing that any time soon. Her self-esteem had hit rock
bottom and hadn’t been able to locate its way back up since the day she’d found
Steve cheating on her with one of his costars.
An unpleasant picture of her ex-husband lip-locked with a
Julianne Moore–type redhead popped into her mind, and she shuddered.
Actors. Did their profession ever mesh with reality?
The answer to that was a resounding no. Unfortunately, she’d
learned that one the hard way. Steve had even thought she’d understand the main
reason he had the affair was for the publicity and what it could do for his
career and income. Like that was supposed to make her feel so much better about
it.

AUTHOR Bio and Links:
Jennifer
Shirk has a bachelor degree in pharmacy-which has in NO WAY at all helped her
with her writing career. But she likes to point it out, since it shows
romantic-at-hearts come in all shapes, sizes, and mind-numbing educations.
She writes
sweet (and sometimes even funny) romances for Samhain Publishing, Avalon
Books/Montlake Romance and now Entangled Publishing. She won third place in the
RWA 2006 NYC's Kathryn Hayes Love and Laughter Contest with her first book, THE
ROLE OF A LIFETIME. Recently, her novel SUNNY DAYS FOR SAM won the 2013 Golden
Quill Published Authors Contest for Best Traditional Romance.
Lately she's
been on a serious exercise kick. But don't hold that against her.
