About this series
A fake engagement to the one person they've been dreaming about forever, all to avoid a debt? Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time.
Caleb Adarsh Joshi is focused on one thing: building his acting career. Already the star of a well-respected British detective series, he's finally getting noticed by Hollywood. The last thing he needs is for his grandmother to demand that he go look into the money she loaned out to help start a theater decades ago, especially when it means coming face-to-face with the woman of his dreams.
Valeria Pasamonte has only one concern: her students at her summer stock/teaching theater in the mountains of North Carolina. All dreams of an acting career have been perfectly rechanneled to avoid thinking about the rejections she knows she'd get for being plus-sized and Hispanic in a size-00, white acting world. But when Caleb arrives, she knows he must be coming for the money her family has never repaid, all of which is sunk in the theater, with nothing to give away.
When Caleb suggests a fake engagement to distract his grandmother, it seems like a perfect answer to their troubles, especially as they can't seem to stop finding themselves in very intimate situations. But the longer they're together, the more they have to admit that they'd like to make this permanent. Still, can Valeria stand the heartache of a front-row seat to a brilliant career which she can never have herself?
They've got one week to decide whether this can work--or go back to the solitary lives they aren't so sure they can bear anymore.
This funny, steamy, multicultural, new adult, fake engagement rom-com will have you rooting for both passionate love and the perfect career. It's Book 1 in the Love at the Mountainside Theater series.

Can a TV star best man with a frou-frou dog convince an overwhelmed, actor-hating wedding planner to work together to save their best friends' special day and maybe plan one of their own? TV star Andrew Cathcart has long been misunderstood. Lusted over by women, hated by their boyfriends and husbands, he's used to unkind stories being told about him. But when he arrives at his best friend's wedding to discover that the woman of his dreams immediately dismisses him, what will he have to do to change her mind? Wedding planner Portia Walker hates actors, and she has her reasons. Right now, the main one is that her flash-in-the-pan TV star boss, Matt, has not only bailed on this wedding. He's run off with all their company's cash and left some epically-disastrous nuptials in his wake. The last thing she has time for is the hot actor whose show she refuses to admit she watches faithfully--or his fluffy, pampered pooch. Still, when the dueling caterers for this multicultural wedding threaten to throw more than Spanish and Hindi insults, none of the dresses are the right color or size, half the groom's family is involved in screaming arguments about an unexpected pregnancy, the bride's ex-students are trying to sabotage the event in hopes of winning her belated affections, and the cake has the wrong names on it, Andrew and Portia may have to be the ones to find a way to make all of this work. And that says nothing of the arrival of the FBI and the fact that Matt keeps threatening to harm the people they love if he isn't given back something he left behind. Can Andrew and Portia protect themselves and each other, as he takes this chance to win her love? Filled with heart, heat, and humor, this steamy, interracial romantic comedy with a side of romantic suspense invites you back to The Mountainside Theater, where love is always the feature presentation.
