STANDALONE NOVEL
Upmarket Fiction
Jaded actress, Cordelia Stafford, always wanted to be disgustingly famous. Instead, she’s undergoing an unremarkable life – steady tech job, aloof husband. When she takes the risk of venturing back into her theatre aspirations, she’s elated to land a role in a Broadway musical. Unfortunately, she’s opposite recovered alcoholic and child-star-turned-serious-artist, Robert Duke, and their powerful chemistry could jeopardize the entire production, and halt Cordy’s dream in its tracks.
Determined to protect the show, and their respective marriages, Cordy and Rob pledge to maintain a strictly professional rapport. But their connection only intensifies as they spend nearly every waking moment together in the beguiling Belasco Theatre. When opening night reveals their intimacy to the world – via an explosive, on-stage kiss – Cordy must confront the chasm between the life she’s been building and the life she actually wants.
She decides that choosing someone who truly receives her feels like finally choosing herself. But Rob isn’t so willing to sacrifice the reputation he’s painstakingly crafted. That is… until his own marriage comes crashing down around him. Suddenly, he becomes a real possibility for Cordy, and she finds herself facing both her conscience, and her consequences.
Inspired by real Broadway (re)couplings.
