She was in the wrong place at the wrong time, but had to hold out hope he could find her in time.

Obadiah “Obi-Wan” Engle lives for his career as a Night Stalker pilot…but even the most harrowing job can become routine. So he’s thrilled when he’s hired as a military advisor on a Hollywood director’s latest blockbuster. But day one on the Norfolk set and he feels like a fish out of water—then he’s knocked further off-kilter when he meets female lead Carmen St. James. She takes one look at Obi-Wan and decides he’s going to be her bed warmer while she’s in town…whether he’s interested or not.

The spoiled actress will have to get used to disappointment. Because someone else on set has already caught his eye…

Paramedic Zita Darlington has worked on countless film shoots, and never once has she felt tempted to mix business with pleasure. Sure, she and Obadiah have a lot in common. And yes, the kind man brings her coffee every day. And okay, fine, he’s the most gorgeous guy she’s ever laid eyes on…but she’s in town for a limited time and they live on opposite sides of the country. How can they make a relationship work? As the shoot progresses, and Zita and Obi-Wan spend more and more time together, they both decide they want to find out.

But hell hath no fury like a starlet scorned. Especially one with a lot of money, resources, and people more than willing to do her bidding.
