Forgetting Jack Cooper: The Starlet Edition
by Lizzie Shane
Actress
Ginny Jones knows all too well that sometimes her mouth moves faster than her
brain. Case in point: badmouthing a beloved cinema icon on tape, a
recording which was then leaked worldwide. Her costar Jack dropped her flat,
along with her agent and so-called friends, leaving her in a career free-fall.
It’s taken her six months to scrape her self-respect back together and get
another chance—a no-budget indie flick filming in the middle of nowhere. Then,
to her shock, Jack shows up on a mission to make amends…and he’s got a sexy new
Brit in his entourage. A Brit who makes Ginny feel alive for the first time since
the scandal broke.
Jude
knows he shouldn't have let Ginny assume he was Jack's new bodyguard, but how
can he tell the girl whose career he helped ruin that he's actually the tabloid
reporter who first released the now-infamous Tape? He’d thought Ginny was
nothing more than a shallow starlet who needed to be knocked down a few pegs,
but the more he gets to know her, the guiltier he feels.... and the more he
falls for her. Making movies—like spinning tabloid stories—may be all
about illusion, but nothing’s felt more real to Jude than what he’s
experiencing with Ginny. Still, can she ever forgive him when the lights come
up on his deception?
