Chapter One

Avery

“I’m the luckiest dude in the universe,” I said as Malik sat beside me near the door of the old school where we were working security for a movie shoot. We’d set up a perimeter around the parking area and stationed ourselves at the south entrance for extras and production crew to check in.

“Because I brought you a soda?” Malik sounded understandably doubtful and quirked a dark eyebrow. He was nice like that, always bringing back drinks or snacks for others. And he’d popped the tops on both our sodas, saving me the trouble. My current arm prosthesis was the best I’d tried yet, but pull tabs were still tricky.

“Well, that was nice. But mainly because of Venus. My girlfriend.” Simply saying the words made me smile. The novelty hadn’t worn off, even though I’d updated my social media profiles a couple of weeks ago.

“Oh, that’s right. Forgot she was scheduled for today’s filming.” Like my other coworkers at the security firm I worked for, Malik was likely sick of hearing me talk about my girlfriend. But for the first time since high school, I was neither deployed nor single for Valentine’s Day. Bring on the season of hearts and flowers. I had Venus. Even Malik’s thoughtful expression didn’t faze me. “You’re a lucky guy. She seems very…glam.”

“She is.” I sighed happily. Malik had probably searched for a nice way to say high maintenance, but wasn’t that practically a given with these actress types?

“I wouldn’t have pegged you for having the most in common.” Malik continued the diplomatic tone, which was a bit nicer than coming right out and asking what the heck she saw in a guy like me.

“Having things in common is overrated.” I took a long sip of root beer. Funny, Malik was still new to the team and already knew my favorite soda flavor and brand.

Also new was my relationship. Venus was a drop-dead-gorgeous aspiring actress with a minor role in the movie I’d been working security for the past few months. She was practically a celebrity. Of course, she wouldn’t share my love of tower defense games or things like British comedy and nature documentaries. And we both liked fitness, but she preferred classes with her friends over gym time as a couple. That was okay. Her booked schedule made our rare dates that much more special. Swallowing, I smiled over at Malik. “She makes me feel like a million bucks.”

“Well, that’s great.” Malik’s mouth was a little tight around the edges. He’d probably been hanging around our boss, who wasn’t a big Venus fan. “You deserve someone to treat you right.”

Yup. He’d definitely been listening to the LT, who insisted I call him Duncan and had lectured me the other day about falling too hard too fast for Venus. Heck, even Harley had felt the need to warn me about watching for people who would take advantage. However, they didn’t know Venus, and seeing as they were all coupled up, they didn’t understand how hard it was to land someone like her.

“She does,” I said brightly, even if adding sort of or occasionally would have been more accurate. Venus wasn’t big on little gestures or doing things for others. She definitely was not into cutesy-couple stuff, but she’d chosen me. Everywhere we went, guys were jealous of me.

Malik didn’t seem to envy me as much, but he’d recently been dumped by his fiancée if company gossip was to be believed. Maybe he still had a broken heart.

Of course, I want to keep Ambrose safe. When he’s attacked, I leap into action to save him and his scrappy little therapy dog.

But my good deed results in a coastal road trip with me pretending to be Ambrose’s boyfriend to keep him out of more danger.

I don’t do relationships, and I’ve never thought about dating a man before, but here I am, sizzling with every touch and dreaming about more stolen kisses.

Each night of white-hot passion brings us closer to an unbreakable bond. But I’m blue-collar, and Ambrose is Hollywood elite. I want a happy ending more than anything. Can I turn this fake boyfriend gig into the real thing, or am I just a guest star?

Chapter One

Ambrose

“You’re not the boss of me,” I said firmly as I maneuvered my sporty little beamer into a parking spot, loving how well this new electric model handled the tricky angle and tight fit. Hercules predictably didn’t reply but continued to silently judge me, doggie tongue lolling to one side, ridiculous tuft of hair falling in his eyes, tail thumping against his carrier. The padded bag restrained him from launching himself at me while I drove but added to his perpetually startled expression, making him seem all the more skeptical of my parking choice. “If I want to park here, I will.”

I’d become one of those dog owners who talked to his pet. My psychiatrist would be so proud of me, even if I was trying to justify ignoring the explicit parking instructions to a judgmental ten-pound Chinese Crested. The memo from security for the day’s shoot had specifically said to park behind the pharmacy because the side lot was already overtaken by equipment and staging for the TV filming.

However, the back lot was full, with some cars double parked. The idea of double parking made my chest tight. I’d likely be on set for hours, but the thought of being blocked in, not able to easily leave, had me needing a deep breath. Nope. Not happening.

The half-full lot two businesses over, serving a gift shop and clothing store, was my better bet, even if not strictly recommended. I was already running late, thanks to traffic out to this small suburb, and it wouldn’t do for me to hold up what was sure to be a long day of filming. We only had the location for a single day, and our props crew had arrived at dawn to transform the modern pharmacy into a classic sixties drugstore.

I grabbed my briefcase plus Hercules, locking the car before hurrying to the location and its bustling activity. Temporary barriers ringed the side lot, which was full of the usual assortment of trailers, tents, and other equipment needed for the filming.

“ID?” A bored young door jockey in a black security T-shirt was stationed at the barriers. The shirt showed off the kid’s anchor tattoo and prosthetic arm. Maybe he was older than I’d thought, but he was definitely new because he greeted me with a blank stare, glancing down at his clipboard and stack of neon-orange badges.

“I…uh…” I patted my pocket. Hell. My wallet was currently locked in the car console. I’d been in too much of a hurry and forgotten to grab it.

“And is that a dog?” The kid frowned, pointing at my bag. “Pretty sure those aren’t allowed on set.”

“Avery.” Another guy in a similar black security T-shirt clapped the kid on the shoulder. “This is Mr. Sterling. The Mr. Sterling. The bigwig in charge of the whole shebang. He doesn’t need ID.”

“It’s okay, Harley,” I assured the second guy. I recognized him from other shoots on location. His security company had some sort of contract for special assignments like today’s that needed more security than typical on-set filming at the studio. “I appreciate Avery being so thorough.”

Unlike the bored kid, Harley was older, closer to my age, probably in his late thirties or early forties. And I loved when he was assigned to manage a shoot’s security because he projected quiet confidence, like nothing terrible could happen on his watch. Harley was big and muscular, with more tattoos than the kid. He was the sort of guy who could easily come across as scary, but on our side, all that muscle was reassuring. And if he was excellent eye candy, well, that was simply a bonus. I widened my smile for him. Not flirty, but friendly familiarity.

“I appreciate what a good job your company does keeping us all safe.”

“We aim to please.” Harley smiled back. He had an endearing, boyish grin, at odds with his rugged face, and it never failed to transform me from polished executive to giddy teen.

“I know.” Oops. That probably wasn’t the best response, but he tended to rob me of essential brain cells. “I mean, you do great at that. Thanks for the detailed memo yesterday about security procedures.”

“Thanks. I try to at least be readable. Speaking of, did you find a spot in the rear lot?”

“I…well…” I didn’t want to outright lie, but I hated disappointing him by disobeying his careful instructions. “Close. I found something close.”

“So that’s a no, not in the lot reserved for us.” He guffawed, a mildly chiding sort of laugh. “Want me to move your car for you?”

“No, I’m fine.” I wasn’t one of those car guys who never trusted anyone else with my automotive babies. I was sure Harley was trustworthy. My refusal had more to do with not wanting to be a bother. “I’m not where I’ll get towed. No need to trouble yourself.”

Chapter One

Duncan

Domestic happiness weirded me out. There. I’d let myself own the thought I’d had all afternoon. I rolled my shoulders, trying to let go of the tension that had plagued me since my arrival at this impromptu pool party. But I must not have been doing a great job relaxing because my brother plopped down on the pool lounger next to me with a concerned expression.

“Are we torturing you that much?” Danny asked. This late-lunch Saturday gathering had been his idea, and I’d agreed to stay in his good graces along with the chance to see my best friend, Cash. Who was now Danny’s boyfriend, a move I still wasn’t used to, and while not torture, the joint invite and cutesy way they finished each other’s sentences made my skin itch in strange places. Not that I could admit that to Danny. I’d spent far too many years disconnected from my half-brother’s life, and I was determined to do a better job as a brother, even if that meant tamping down my discomfort over him and Cash hooking up.

“What?” I wasn’t an actor like Danny, but I could still do a decent job of faking shock. His backyard was lush with summer foliage, and the pool water sparkled in the sunlight. I added an exaggerated blink against the afternoon sun. “Of course not.”

“Liar.” Danny rolled his eyes at me, unconvinced by my wide eyes and upturned hands. “And lucky for you, I’ve got the perfect distraction for your workaholic self.”

“Oh?” I carefully pitched my voice to be inviting. I always seemed to say the wrong thing with Danny, and I wanted to keep the peace, even if that meant speaking less and listening more. “What’s up?”

“It’s a job.”

“A job?” Narrowing my eyes, I sat forward on the lounger, studying him more closely.

“You don’t have to look so suspicious.” Danny had apparently added mind reader to his list of talents. “Nothing to do with me. No new stalker. I’m good, promise. This is a job for your company.”

“You have a job for A-List?” I’d been under the impression that Danny only grudgingly tolerated my security business. We’d bailed him out of a tight spot a few months back, but it was usually Cash, not Danny, who was interested in talking shop with me.

“My friend, Ezra, is in something of a PR nightmare right now.” Danny ended with a flourish of his hand as if he could magic away his superstar singer friend having made major headlines for fans jumping a barrier at one of his concerts.

Chapter One

Cash

“I have a job for you.” Duncan placed two coffee mugs on his breakfast bar as I emerged from his guest room. Damn it. I should have stayed in bed, even if I’d been awake for hours, waiting for a suitable time to putter around in his kitchen. But now he’d beaten me to the coffee maker, and his too-efficient tone said I wasn’t going to like whatever this was.

“No.” I picked up the mug with black coffee as opposed to the one with a pale-colored brew with flecks of cinnamon on top. Duncan always did like his coffee too damn fancy.

“You’re not going to let me tell you about it?” Nose wrinkling, he adjusted his tie. Seeing Duncan all fancy was still weird as fuck. My brain still expected to see him in fatigues, not some pricey suit with slick hair and shiny shoes.

“This rent-a-SEAL deal, that’s you and Harley, man.” I didn’t need to hear about the job to know it had to do with A-List Security, the company he and our fellow buddy from the service were starting. They’d been on me for months to join them, more so since I’d landed in Duncan’s bedroom post-separation from the navy.

“You need a job. A plan.” Duncan’s tone had been way more patient when I arrived a week earlier, but now his voice had that lieutenant edge.

“R&R doesn’t count?” I wasn’t letting him bully me. The ink on the separation papers was barely dry, and I’d come straight off a deployment to have to deal with retirement shit as it was. “Feels like I could sleep for a month.”

And yet I couldn’t seem to stay asleep for anything, but Duncan didn’t need to hear about my insomnia woes.

“Damn right, you need rest.” Duncan clapped me on the shoulder. He was slightly shorter but had big hands and a near-crushing grip. “But you also need to figure this out. You let retirement sneak up on you. You’re only thirty-eight. You could even go to college—”

“Stop right there. I’m not going back to school.” As if. I’d barely made it out of high school, done the exact minimum to get myself a ticket to basic training. Last thing I wanted was to be stuck in some classroom. “I’ll find something.”

“But I have something.” Duncan smiled, charm turned up to eleven even in the face of my grumpiness. “Consider this a personal favor to me. It involves Danny.”

“Your brother, the former TV star?” Part of why Duncan fit in so well here in LA with his new high-rise lifestyle was that his blood actually ran Hollywood gold, not navy blue. There was no escaping his legendary movie producer dad or his famous brother, even if Duncan had fled to the naval academy trying. “What did the kid do this time?”

“He’s twenty-five now, as he keeps reminding me. Trying to get his life together. Again. Man, I really hope the changes stick this time.”

“Here’s to hoping.” I saluted him with my coffee. I wasn’t sure a kid who’d famously posted a drunken base-jumping video among other antics could change his stripes for good, but Duncan’s eternal optimism was an admirable trait.

“Word. Anyway, for once, it’s not gossip columns that are the issue. It’s his safety.”

“Safety?” Despite not wanting anything to do with this job, curiosity got the better of me.

“I think he has a stalker.” Duncan paced away from the counter, long efficient strides that carried him to the pantry, where he grabbed a protein bar before returning. “Danny’s trying to pass it off as some rabid superfan, but I’m not so sure. He was the one to call me for once, and he was all full of questions like how to spot a tail and how to adjust location settings on his phone.”

“Shit.” I whistled low. “Doesn’t the kid have some kind of bodyguard already?”

Unlike Duncan, I was the furthest thing possible from Hollywood, but I’d watched enough TV to know big stars always had entourages.

“Nope.” Duncan tore off a bite of protein bar with his teeth. “Danny’s on this let’s be a normal guy kick and apparently no longer has staff beyond a weekly cleaner.”

Simply the ease with which Duncan said staff showed how many light-years apart our upbringings were.

“Security system?” I asked.

“No clue. He freaked at the idea of me running a check on the cleaning service too. But something’s up. He sounded legit scared, and I can’t let it drop even if that’s what he wants.”

“Yeah.” Duncan was the type to worry for a new recruit he barely knew. Of course, he was going to worry about his little brother.

“He shouldn’t ignore warning signs. You’ve told me enough stories about those fans being crazy fuckers.” That was putting it lightly. Duncan’s brother had spent a decade or so on a show so popular it had its own conventions, merch everywhere, and fans so intense they had ridiculous nicknames for themselves. They’d famously staged a campaign to get more seasons of the show, resulting in a whole studio getting shut down for a bomb threat. Yeah, Danny’s fans were no joke.
