About the book: 2024 / Hollywood taught me everything I know about relationships, except how to build them. As an actor, I've become an expert at pretending. I pretend my childhood didn't affect me. But I always knew the truth - I'm no one's hero. Until I was forced back to Sugarloaf for six months and Brenna Allen gave me the chance to prove otherwise. She is everything I never knew I wanted but couldn't have. Her broken heart, perfect face and adorable children turn my world upside down. Instead of preparing for the next leading role, I become the director of a play for a high school where a single mother from a small town works. All to make her smile. The more time I spend here, the more I want to stay. To build a life in this city that I swore to leave. But when the world falls apart around us, I have to decide whether it's better to stay or leave for her, for the woman I love.
