Unwilling to let an unexpected divorce completely destroy her, Lane Jensen moves to Hollywood to work on a fledgling reality TV show. Will her budding attraction to her gorgeous co-star erupt into a huge scandal, or will Lane find true love?

 It wasn't the first time she'd  had to pick herself up and dust herself off, but after her husband of more than twenty years announced to her that he wanted a divorce, Lane Jensen thought that she might never recover from this cruel blow.

With her husband gone and both kids away at college, Lane decides it is time to do something life changing and unexpected.

Unwilling to let her sadness destroy her, Lane accepts an offer to work on a fledgling reality TV show, "Fire on Ice".  The whole prospect sounds like a bit of a disaster, but at this point, what has she got to lose?

Lane's challenge will be to take retired star quarterback Ron Brannon, and pair him with professional figure skater Elena Denkova in an attempt to make a pairs team out of the the two of them and ultimately win a pairs skating competition.

Not only does her team's seriously mismatched talent seem intimidating, but Lane is soon finding herself attracted to her gorgeous co-star Ron, who is married and completely off limits.  Will Lane be able to hide her budding attraction to her co-star when the cameras are rolling constantly?  Will coming to Hollywood be the deverison she had hoped for, or the straw that finally breaks the camel's back?



     



Excerpt

I paced back and forth across the floor of my condo. I was worried. Unfortunately, I didn't doubt that Maurice had convincing footage of me with Ron. I was attracted to Ron and there were times when I felt like I didn't do a very good job of hiding my barely concealed lust.

I finally stopped my pacing and went down to my car. I had decided I was going to Jorge's house, surely he would be home by now. I thought it was important that I speak to Jorge before Maurice did, I had the feeling that Jorge's house would be Maurice's second stop of the evening.

I was feeling guilty, I had no doubt that Maurice had caught some rather "special" moments on tape, but I refused to be blackmailed. I figured the best thing to do would be go straight to Jorge and fess up. If he wanted to fire me, then so be it.

I would never submit to Maurice's threats, anyway. How could I be certain that he would have destroyed the tapes, even if I slept with him? I cursed myself for being so naive.



Professional Reviews

N.Maricelle-Miami, FL
Okay this book was just plain fun! If you want a romance aimed at us older gals, (over 40) this is it. Don't let all those youngsters have all the fun!

When her husband unexpectedly announces he wants a divorce, Lane Jensen is shocked. She wants to curl up in a ball and die, but does she? No! Like all strong women she knows there is something better out there and where better a place to find it? Hollywood!

I don't want to give away too many delicious details about this book, but let's just say it may be impossible to lay low in Hollywood and believe me, that's the way we like it!

This should be at the very top of your "to read" list for 2015. Five stars worth of fun! (

I just finished this book and I loved it! Forty somethings tend to get ignored in the romance world and this is perfect. Lane Jensen feels as if her life has been destroyed, her cheating husband has left her and wants a divorce and her professional career has also had a minor hiccup. Lane agrees to take a position on a new reality TV show which I can only describe as "Dancing with the Stars" meets "Stars on Ice". She is immediately attracted to her gorgeous co-star, Ron Brannon, who I can only describe as "yummy". One small problem, he's married. The show's producers warn Lane to stay away from Ron, they don't want their new show surrounded by scandal.

This book takes Lane through the ups and downs of having a camera following your every move while working on a reality TV show and the stresses of the competition. Not to mention the barely concealed passion for a man she has been told she cannot pursue, throw in a fake boyfriend and a blackmailing cameraman and you have a deliciously scandalous summer read!!!

I loved it! How does a girl from Colorado Springs lay low in Hollywood? Lane Jensen takes to the ice as a choreographer for a new reality series. Faced with the daunting task of making a pairs skating team with her mismatched team of pro football star Ron Brannon and professional skater Elena Denkova. Throw in a fake boyfriend and a blackmailing cameraman and what you have is a simmering scandal, with the lid ready to blow right off!
