A former model, a grumpy lawyer, and a single dad walk into an audition for a children's musical… They’re all Miles Brodie. It’s only cute if you aren’t the director who’s being bribed to cast his daughter. DEAR MS. CROSS, Our discussion
- True. Casting my daughter as the lead in your musical could be considered bribery if people find out I’m investing in it, but no one needs to know.
- I only want to hire you as Macy’s singing coach so her vocal skills will improve.
- Maybe if you’d spent less time surfing and more on your singing career, you wouldn’t be in this financial predicament.
- Re. your living situation—my neighbor has a guest house. If you cast Macy as Alice, I will pay for your first three months’ rent. Do we have a deal? Best regards, Miles Brodie DEAR MR. BRODIE,
- It absolutely is bribery, but I absolutely need that money for my production. Thanks!
- It is very cute that you will do anything to get Macy this part, but I would only coach that sweet child as a favor to all mammals with functional hearing.
- If I spend less time surfing, will you spend less time jogging on my beach with your shirt off?
- You want to pay me to live next door so you don’t have to drive anywhere to frown at me?
- I have another condition for casting Macy as Alice—you have to perform the part of the Cheshire Cat. Purrrrrrr, Aria * This is a 70,000 word standalone steamy romantic comedy novel.
Author

Amazon Top 25 and USA Today bestselling author Kayley Loring spent many years as a screenwriter (under a different name) in Los Angeles before moving to the Pacific Northwest to live out her childhood dream of being a Disney heroine who talks and sings to woodland creatures. When not trying to keep animals alive, she’s writing steamy romantic comedy novels, obviously. She’s breathing cleaner air, writing dirtier words, and staring at her computer screen until her eyeballs dry out instead of prancing around Southern California in miniskirts and going to the hair salon. Still waiting for the woodland creatures to clean her house, though. Read or listen to Kayley’s books when you want to laugh, warm your heart, and enjoy top-notch banter, strong heroines who need to be chased, lovable characters you’d want to know in real life, and swoon over perfectly imperfect book boyfriends.
