For fans of Romantic Comedy and Notting Hill (so, everyone?!), a second-chance celebrity / normal person romance you’ll read in one sitting.
'Second chance romance, celebrity/normal person, Hollywood highjinks…this checks a lot of romance boxes.' —The Skimm “A total delight—I read it in a single sitting, right to the perfect Hollywood ending.” —Annabel Monaghan, bestselling author of Nora Goes Off Script “Everything I’m always looking for in a romance: smart, warm, and sexy as all hell.” —Katie Cotugno, New York Times bestselling author “Set Piece has more heart and more action than you'll ever get from Us Weekly.” —Lindsey Weber, co-host of Who? Weekly 'A snappy appetizer of a romance.' —Kirkus Reviews Even a year ago, no one would have recognized Jack Felgate at a bar. But after his steamy breakout TV role, he’s surprised to be swarmed by fans during a night out with friends. When the practical bartender CJ intervenes to fend off his admirers, he’s grateful—and more than a little eager to stick around for an after-hours drink–turned–tryst.
Five years later, Jack shows up to set for his starring role in (yet another?!) adaptation of The Great Gatsby only to find CJ is the film’s production designer. But neither of them is the same person they were back then: CJ is a single mom with a four-year-old, and Jack is a bona fide celebrity managing ceaseless demands on his time and attention.
Their chemistry hasn’t dimmed since they saw each other last, but is there room in their lives for anything more than one very memorable night together? “Everything I’m always looking for in a romance: smart, warm, and sexy as all hell.” —Katie Cotugno, New York Times bestselling author “Set Piece has more heart and more action than you’ll ever get from Us Weekly.” —Lindsey Weber, co-host of Who?
