Hollywood Heartbreaker

Aston (the Dukes of Distinction series) kicks off the Hollywood Name Game series with this sweet, sexy contemporary romance. Cassie Carroll is running late for a job interview at a Hollywood entertainment agency when she swerves her car to avoid hitting a dog and instead runs into a car owned by action star Rhett Corrigan. Rhett rescues Cassie before her car explodes and, after learning that she was on her way to interview with his agency, impulsively offers her a job as his temporary personal assistant. Rhett is impressed with Cassie’s candor and comfort around the rich and famous, and she is grateful for the steady, well-paying job, which comes complete with room and board for her and her roommate, Jolene, in the gatehouse of Rhett’s estate. As Rhett’s relationship with narcissistic model Randi James goes off the rails, the mutual attraction between him and Cassie grows stronger—but he’s reluctant to act on it while she’s still his employee. They’re forced to confront their true feelings, however, when Jolene accidentally leaks information about Rhett’s personal life to the press, resulting in scandal. Aston makes it easy to care about Cassie, a genuine, hardworking woman who maintains her integrity in the glittering world of Hollywood. This fast-paced romance is a treat. (Self-published)
