Seduced by the Screenwriter

Love scenes wearing movie costumes—a curl-your-toes romance

Ex-cop Catrina Turner is lonely. After a traumatic recovery dive she quit the force and ran away to remote Muskoka, Canada with Titan, her retired police service dog. They provide winter security for luxury lake houses owned by rich celebrities. Her PTSD, a closely-held secret, makes a relationship impossible…until a handsome visitor makes a tempting proposal.

Screenwriter Chett de Groot needs a hit to save his career. He accepts a film star’s offer to use her secluded lake house as a writing retreat, and discovers a closet full of her old movie costumes.

Bored, freezing in Muskoka and desperate for inspiration, Chett entices the beautiful security guard to wear costumes and role-play in seduction scenes. They discover how satisfying acting can be. Soon Catrina is ad-libbing passionate lines in scorching “performances” that knock Chett’s thermal socks off.

A film producer makes Chett an offer that will put him back in the game. But if Catrina finds out what Chett did to close the deal, will he lose her forever?

Catrina’s path to love and healing is Book 2 in the Hollywood in Muskoka series. Each novel in the series can be read as a stand-alone love story.
