A Star to Hold

What if Ella could meet the man of her dreams at Sweetheart Island Resort?

Ella Romsey is ready to say yes when her boyfriend proposes except… he doesn't propose. He ends their relationship instead, and Ella's life plan combusts. She loves her mobile pet grooming business, but she loved being in love too. Encouraged by her best friend to dive right back into dating, Ella books a trip to a matchmaking resort on Sweetheart Island off the coast of Maine. She may come home to Boston alone when the resort's soulmate science is an epic fail, but at least she'll get a relaxing vacation out of the deal.

Brody Maddison needs bigger acting roles with higher pay to keep his brother happy at an assisted living facility in Los Angeles. His agent gets him an audition for a lead role in a romantic comedy, but Brody hasn't bothered much with romance in his life. After he bombs this audition, his agent recommends attending Sweetheart Island Resort undercover to learn about love. With his brother's care in mind, Brody reluctantly agrees to the matchmaking resort even though he's certain it's a ridiculous waste of time.

When Ella's giant German Shepherd plows into Brody on the ferry to Sweetheart Island, however, the idea of a matchmaking resort doesn't sound so crazy to either of them anymore. Talk comes easy between them, and the attraction is instant. Can Brody and Ella hold on to the spark between them or are stars too hard to hold?

A STAR TO HOLD is a sweet, matchmaking, forced-proximity, feel-good, contemporary romance that proves it's possible to find someone who will love you just the way you are.
