Synopsis Everyone needs a safe space. For Lizzie Warner, that space has always been in front of the camera on her hit show, or on stage to a sold out concert arena. Since before she can remember, she’s been a star, but that may be about to change. She’s nineteen. Her show has been cancelled and now she’s going to play the lead in a new prime time drama series, but is the world ready to take her seriously, or will she be typecast as the cute tween queen forever? Her network has decided to be aggressive and has invested millions of dollars in an ad campaign for her show, money she’s not sure she can earn back. Her co-star can’t stand her, and the writing for the show turns out to be poor at best. The only reason Lizzie didn’t walk away from the job offer to begin with is because she’s broke, the victim of a decade of bad money management. Then there’s Devon, the personal trainer at her gym. Arrogant and abrasive, he’s the last guy she should ever find attractive, but she has a hopeless crush on him anyway, and he doesn’t seem entirely disinterested either. In fact, sometimes he’s downright sweet to her. If only he weren’t an untamable bad boy who uses and dumps women like they’re nothing. Though Lizzie’s friends warn her to stay away, he’s the only person who can create what she needs: a safe space. But is there any way she can break him of his years' long habit of being a user? |

Excerpt
Lizzie: Devon is an arrogant, self-centered player who uses women and then dumps them. He is the last person I should be attracted to. Yes, he’s gorgeous. He’s a personal trainer so his body is toned and sculpted to perfection. His hazel eyes are expressive and soulful and his brown hair just demands a girl run her fingers through it, but I work in Hollywood so this stuff shouldn’t impress me.
My crush on him is dangerous, because he puts on the charm whenever I’m vulnerable. If I’m sad or stressed out or depressed, he’s there for me. He gives me a listening ear and acts like he cares. I know this is just an act because I’ve seen the way he treats other girls, but I really wish it wasn’t. Deep down, I’m starting to believe that maybe there’s something more to this, but I’m sure all the rest of his conquests felt the same way once, too. I’m falling for his charms, even though I can see it’s a mistake.
