Hollywood wants a show. He wants something real. She wants to survive the spotlight. Emma Rowan is the industry’s newest darling—elegant, talented, and on the brink of stardom after landing her first blockbuster role. She’s determined to prove she belongs in Hollywood… without becoming another headline. But when the studio insists she “date” her co-star during the movie’s promotion, Emma finds herself cornered into playing a part she never wanted. Especially when that co-star is him. Asher Dixon is Hollywood royalty—box office gold with a smile the world trusts. He’s done the PR-dating game before, but this time it’s different. This time it’s Emma. Sweet, grounded, breathtaking Emma… the woman who makes him want to blur every line between script and reality. To everyone else, it’s a stunt. To him, it’s a second chance at something genuine. Asher leans into the act with heart-melting charm and expert precision—teaching Emma how to survive fame, shielding her from the industry’s darker corners, and slowly, unmistakably, winning her over. But the closer they get, the harder it becomes for Emma to tell what’s real and what’s expertly staged. In a world built on illusions, can she trust the one man who’s made a living pretending? Lights. Camera. Chemistry. And a fake romance that feels a little too real… The Stunt is a swoony, steamy Hollywood romance filled with red carpet tension, slow-burn longing, and a fake-dating setup that becomes anything but fake.

Matilda is a Texas girl in love with a Philly boy who loves to write dirty books about two people who trip into love and fumble their way into a Filthy, Funny, Happily Ever After. I live in Austin, with my husband, two crazy Chihuahuas and an even crazier cat. And I spend most of my day writing dirty romance books about older men who fall in love with younger women and make fools of themselves trying to win their hearts. If you love Dark Romance, you’ve come to the wrong place. I don’t like dark heroes. I like my hero to be successful, sweet, suave, sophisticated and kind—- and then I want him to lose all his composure and game when he meets the heroine. I want him to turn into a bumbling idiot when he spots the girl of his dreams and revert to a teenage boy in a man’s body trying to win her. I like my heroines to be witty, intelligent, and unshakeable—-who could do just as well without a man—until the hero convinces her otherwise. I write A LOT OF AGE GAP—because I LOVE AGE GAP ROMANCE. I’ve got no other excuse for it. No matter what kind of story it is, my ladies are ADORED, and my endings are always Happily EVER AFTER, not HFN. Want a free Ebook?
