Let's Make a Scene - Paperback

by Laura Wood (Author)

The companion novel to Laura Wood's "excellent, unputdownable adult debut" (Library Journal, starred review) Under Your Spell follows Theo Eliott's best friend Cynthie Taylor as she's pulled back into a fake PR relationship with Jack Turner-Jones, the one costar she swore she'd never work with again.

When Cynthie Taylor gets her first real acting job, starring in a small British movie, she is over the moon. There is only one problem...Cynthie's arrogant and annoyingly handsome costar Jack hates her, and the feeling is definitely mutual. While they may be at war behind the scenes, their on-screen chemistry is palpable, and the studio sees an opportunity--have the two young stars fake a romance that will charm fans and draw crowds.

Thirteen years later, Cynthie and Jack have successfully kept their promise to stay far away from one another, until a surprising offer comes to make a sequel to the cult classic that launched their careers. But there's a catch: they must also rekindle their pretend relationship...and this time there's a documentary crew following their every move.

Cynthie and Jack both desperately need this film to work, but can two ex-rivals ever really trust each other? And what happens when the roles they're playing start to feel all too real?
