Heartthrob

Reissue (Original Publication Date: March 1999) THE SEXIEST MAN ALIVE… Former A-list movie star Jed “Jericho” Beaumont had—and lost—it all when prescription drugs and alcohol sent him spiraling out of control. He’s been gone for five years—a lifetime in Hollywood—but he’s finally clean, and he’s ready for a comeback. Jed knows that the character of Laramie in an indie movie called The Promise is the role of a lifetime. He wants it badly enough to sign an outrageous contract with producer Kate O’Laughlin—one that requires Jed to be supervised, 24/7. THE BRILLIANT WOMAN WHO’S HIS MATCH… Kate’s producing the movie of her heart, and although Jericho’s an incredible talent, his reputation is for reckless behavior—which could kill this project that she loves. The only solution is to ensure his sobriety by babysitting her handsome leading man—a job that quickly proves challenging. The two are at odds from the start—and sparks quickly fly… (Set in 1999, HeartThrob is a full length novel of 104K words or 340 pages, originally published in March, 1999, by Ballantine Books.)
