BLURB:
Disheartened and
adrift after being written out of a hit TV show, actor Aidan Flaherty returns
to his family’s historic winery, where he’s invested some of the fortune he’s
made. As the holidays approach, Aidan becomes intrigued with the old showboat
that’s dry-docked just east of town… and even more intrigued with the daughter
of his former mentor, who now owns it. He decides to buy the boat and restore
it to its former glory.
Single mom Holly
Santos is back in River’s Edge after her divorce and she is over men in general
and actors in particular. If she could only get rid of her father’s old
showboat, a source of fascination for her son, Mateo. She never expects her old
crush to walk into her tea shop or the fireworks that happen every time they’re
in the same room. Can Aidan convince her that he is determined to restore their
shared heritage on the showboat and that he’s home to stay?

EXCERPTS:
A knock on his car window jerked him back to the Mickey D’s
parking lot and he turned to see a young woman peering in. “Hey?” She tapped on
the glass again. “Hey? Aren’t you that cop? The one on TV? Pete At-Atwater?”
Aidan came within a second of simply shaking his head since
she didn’t even have the name of his character right, but another girl came up
behind the blonde, a huge smile on her face. “It’s him!” She gripped the
blonde’s arm. “It’s Pete Atwood from LA Detectives!” Elbowing her way to the
window of the little MG, she stooped down. “We love you, Pete!”
Pinning on his celebrity smile, the one that showed off his
dimples and made hearts race all over America and Canada, Aidan rolled down the
window. “Good morning, ladies.”
They clutched each other and giggled, jiggling with
excitement. “Can we get a picture with you?” the blond one asked while the
other one bit her lip and sighed.
“Sure.” Aidan opened the car door and got out,
surreptitiously scanning the parking lot as he did so. Most of the cars were in
the drive-thru and the people in line weren’t paying attention to the activity
in the corner of the parking lot, where he’d deliberately parked to avoid being
recognized. How had these two figured out who he was?
Oh, crap, the California license plates on Pete’s
distinctive MG! A dead giveaway and it’s no secret that the actor who plays
Pete Atwood is from a small river town in southern Indiana.
At least ten pictures and a couple of autographs later, he
was back in the car while the two girls scurried off. Aidan watched out of the
corner of his eye as they high-fived each other before getting into an older
compact car. No doubt they were both on their phones letting friends know that
Pete Atwood was haunting the parking lot of the McDonald’s on the highway, so heaving
a huge breath, he buckled up and turned the key in the ignition.
