Melissa Klein

Series: Out of Uniform Book 3
Genre:†Contemporary Romance, Military Romance
Publisher: The Wild Rose Press
Publication Date: August 16, 2017

When paparazzi, obligations, and pride tear Bash and Grace apart. Will the stubborn scriptwriter come to his senses in time, or will movie star, Grace marry the wrong man?

Before filming starts on her next movie, America’s sweetheart, Grace Carradine, wants a girls’ night out. As she dons a disguise to evade the paparazzi, her brown hair isn’t the only deception, so is her upcoming marriage to her costar. Naval-pilot-turned-author, Sebastian “Bash” Baron finds his friends are pairing up and starting families. Given his history, he knows that life isn’t for him–even if the period romance he wrote is being made into a movie. Those stories only exist in fiction–or other people’s lives.

The two begin a secret romance, meant to last only as long as the starlet is on location in Bash’s hometown. When the paparazzi, obligations, and pride tear them apart, will Bash come to his senses in time, or will Grace marry the wrong man?

Excerpt

Grace licked her dry lips. “Upstairs, there’s a guest room I’ve been slipping off to each night after the staff retires.”

“You have to keep up the lie even in your own home?”

“We can’t risk it.”

He brushed a finger across her lips. “Except that’s what you’re doing with me.”

She closed her eyes as the pain washed over her. “I know, but I can’t seem to stop wanting you.”

“You know how much I hate lies.”

His low growl sent shivers across her skin. “This is all I have to offer, but I’m willing to beg if need be. I need the peace being with you brings, even if it’s only temporary.”

He kissed her palm. “At this point, I’m willing to take even a small part of you.”

She closed her eyes at the pain in his voice.
