Rebel Charm

Mara Simon, trophy wife turned high-powered Hollywood producer, isn’t about to let TJ McCloud, the love who left her behind, shut down her movie set. There are too many livelihoods at stake. 


A forensic anthropologist more accustomed to studying bones than sizzling bombshells, TJ doesn’t recognize Mara at first.  But even the girl he used to love can’t stop him from cordoning off her movie set while he investigates a possible murder site. 


Despite their conflicting lifestyles, Mara and TJ must work together to solve the mystery so both can move forward. In the process, they are forced to rethink everything they thought they wanted out of life.
