Steamy, suspenseful, and funny, A Role of a Lifetime by Cora Davies is not your typical Hollywood Romance. Hailey Rogers is a bestselling author, ranch owner (fake it till you make it ), mother to a teenage daughter, and a little obsessed with 90s grunge music. She's sarcastic, wears twenty-year-old rock concert t-shirts, and has a date tonight with the world's most boring man. Eric James is Hollywood royalty, a little obsessed with himself, and America's go-to action star. When he wakes up one day and decides he wants to show the world he is capable of more than killing the bad guy and getting the girl - he sets his sights on Hailey's book. When Eric shows up on her doorstep, he is blown away when his movie star smile does not melt her into submission immediately. Instead, Hailey demands if he wants the movie rights to her book, he's going to have to prove himself by doing back breaking labor on her ranch for two weeks. Hailey is keeping a secret from Eric; the book he wants the rights for is based on the life of her late husband and his time in the Army. She has no plans to relinquish the rights, even if Eric does everything she says. Things start to heat up as Hailey fights her attraction for Eric. Could he really mean the nice things he says about her? Or is it all an act? In two weeks anything can happen... a movie star can grow a conscience... an author's dark secrets from the past can surface to threaten everything she holds dear... and two people hopelessly attracted to each other can walk away from a love that doesn't fit their lifestyles... can't they? This is NOT a sweet and innocent romance. The characters use bad language when they are mad. The love scenes do not happen behind closed doors. This is a romantic suspense that portrays some violence in the name of suspense, not in the name of romance. A Role of a Lifetime is a full-length stand-alone contemporary romance novel. It is the first standalone steamy romance novel in the Out of Hollywood Romance series, where I take Hollywood stars out of their environment, and put them into ours. Other novels will mention characters from previous novels in the series, and the reader can catch up with some of their favorite couples. There are no cliff-hangers. Each novel is an HEA.
