The Leading Man

How Could the Star Convince Her His Love Was No Act? The Leading Man is a compelling love story set in the magic world of theatre and television, where even a level head can easily be tossed and turned. From Shakespearean Stratford to the sun kissed set of the soap opera Dolphin Bay, this novel takes its reader on an emotional rollercoaster ride where only LOVE can be the central character. After breaking her engagement to her childhood sweetheart David, who she'd found cheating on her, Laura Johnson had turned to her new career to help put her life back together again. Working in the picturesque tranquility of a sleepy English Arts Centre, little did Laura realize that arrogant but attractive soap opera heartthrob Mark Fox would crash into her life and turn it upside down. Her hard fought for independence is brought into question when his production of the classic comedy She Stoops To Conquer comes to town. Although Mark and Laura fight their emotions for each other, it soon becomes clear that they must work together for the sake of Mark's theatre tour and future career as tragedy strikes his company. But working so closely together inevitably unleashes their passion for each other and soon they are finding that their relationship is much more than merely professional. But can there ever be a happy ending when Laura is forced to fight an unexpected demon from her past?" K.
