Publisher Description
Jack Winston may be Hollywood’s biggest action hero, but he’s seriously burned out. He can’t even save himself from his PR team’s latest scheme: dating a starlet. But when his assistant accidentally tags Cassidy James from Blink, Maine (wherever that is) on social media, the paparazzi decide that she’s Jack’s latest fling. Now Jack needs to do some serious damage control…starting with the adorable home reno pro in paint-splattered overalls.
Cassidy is not prepared when the Jack Winston shows up in her quiet little town—and whew, he is that gorgeous in person. Before she can pick her jaw up off the floor, his PR team is bombarding them with a whole new plan involving “fake girlfriend,” “optics,” and “sign this NDA” (whatever that is). But no one warned her that Mr. A-List Action Star is hot, funny as all get out, and loves old houses as much as she does.
Now they have two weeks to convince everyone they’re in a fake relationship—two weeks that will drive Cassidy’s reno business through the roof and help Jack reclaim his “spark.” The plan is going fine, dare she say, perfectly...until she discovers something that will change everything.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Clarke's adorable second Hideaway Harbor romance (after Accidentally Perfect) follows Blink, Maine, local Cassidy James, who inherited her father's construction business and is now putting her passion for historic restoration to use by restoring the Victorian estate of her childhood crush, Tristan McGuffy. When Tristan returns to the tiny seaside town, Cassidy is hopeful they might finally have a shot at love—until her life is unexpectedly upended by an Instagram snafu. On the other side of the country, Hollywood superstar Jack Winston's assistant accidentally tagged Cassidy (instead of Jack's sister) in a post that makes it sound like she and Jack are together. The paparazzi descend on Blink in droves, prompting an apologetic visit from Jack and his entourage. Soon, Cassidy learns that Tristan, the man she thought was her prince, is actually a frog, and she and Jack begin to fall for each other instead (much to the dismay of Jack's manager). This unlikely pair is sure to win readers' hearts, and though the setup is far-fetched, Clarke makes it so much fun that readers won't mind. An appealing supporting cast—especially Cassidy's bubbly bestie, Amanda, and (surprisingly) Jack's cutthroat manager, Marion—underpin the enchanting narrative. Readers looking for kisses-only small-town romance will devour this enjoyable tale.
Customer Reviews
Delightful
Who would believe a romance between a movie star and a home construction gal, certainly not Jack’s manager. But Jack is tired of the insincerity of Hollywood and LA and a media slip by his assistant enables him to meet Cassidy James, Miss Fix-It in Blink, Maine. He loves the fact that Cassidy is real and small town and believes she is the best thing that ever happened to him. Their relationship starts out fake and stage-managed, until it isn’t… And then Cassidy ends it…..
