Meet Me Under the Stars

Book excerpt: Charlotte "Charlie" Conti's wildly popular DIY show is circling the drain. When the ratings plummet after the sudden death of her sister Gwen, the network threatens to replace her. But her plans for a comeback are sidelined when she learns she has to work with him to create a memorial scholarship in her sister's memory. The same him Charlie met--and fell in love with--three years ago while working at a summer camp. The same him she dumped, all in an effort to protect his heart. When Nate Walsh, the sexy, British player and recent college graduate learns that his employment visa has been denied, he has 60 days to find a new job, or he'll be sent back to the UK where he's no longer welcome. Focused on staying in America, he doesn't have time to be working on a memorial scholarship with her. The same her who stole--and shattered--his heart three years ago without any warning. The same her he has never gotten over.Unable to agree on who the scholarship will benefit, Nate and Charlie enter into a friendly winner-takes-all competition. Attempting to one-up and out-play each another for control, both Nate and Charlie know the only way to win is to turn up the heat and tempt each other with the one thing they both want: each other. As sparks fly, they discover the love they had for each other has never gone away. But as they grow closer, fears of repeating disastrous past mistakes churn up again. Nate and Charlie must decide if they want fear or love to win out, and are they ready to live with that choice forever.
