She's falling in love. He's just playing a part.


When Adeline Baker was told that big-time Hollywood actor, Eli Hunt, wanted to film a movie in Starlight Ridge--and inside her small chocolate shop--she told them they were crazy. But the film crew arrived, and Eli Hunt with them, and fantasy quickly became reality. Adeline knew Eli would be charming--she'd read the magazines and seen the interviews--but she'd underestimated the pull he'd have on her. Too bad she couldn't trust a word that came out of his mouth, because there was one thing Eli was famous for. He never stepped out of character while filming a movie--even off set.


The first time Eli Hunt had visited Starlight Ridge, he'd known he'd found the setting for his next romantic drama. The mild winter weather and small-town beach community was exactly what he was looking for. The pretty owner of the local chocolate shop hadn't hurt either. But as filming commences, Eli realizes he has a problem. He feels more chemistry with Adeline than his co-star. To make matters worse, he can't step out of character. And the longer he spends with her, the more he desperately wishes he could.


It will take trust and courage for Adeline and Eli to step outside their roles and discover if what they have is real, or if it is merely a Hollywood illusion.
