Heartthrob

Reissue (Original Publication Date: March 1999)

THE SEXIEST MAN ALIVE...
Former A-list movie star Jed "Jericho" Beaumont had-and lost-it all when prescription drugs and alcohol sent him spiraling out of control. He's been gone for five years-a lifetime in Hollywood-but he's finally clean, and he's ready for a comeback. Jed knows that the character of Laramie in an indie movie called The Promise is the role of a lifetime. He wants it badly enough to sign an outrageous contract with producer Kate O'Laughlin-one that requires Jed to be supervised, 24/7.

THE BRILLIANT WOMAN WHO'S HIS MATCH...
Kate's producing the movie of her heart, and although Jericho's an incredible talent, his reputation is for reckless behavior-which could kill this project that she loves. The only solution is to ensure his sobriety by babysitting her handsome leading man-a job that quickly proves challenging. The two are at odds from the start-and sparks quickly fly...
