Off screen, they can't stand each other. Two co-stars with a complex history reunite to film the final season of a beloved paranormal drama in this tension-filled will they won't they romance from the author of How to Fake It in Hollywood. Lilah Hunter and Shane McCarthy are madly in love-well, their characters are in love on the hit paranormal TV show Intangible. It's been years since Lilah and Shane have actually enjoyed each other's company, especially since Lilah ditched the cast at the end of season five in hopes of becoming a film star. With no such luck, she's back to film the much-hyped ninth and final season. But coming back means facing one of the biggest reasons she left...Shane. Their intense romance was strictly behind the scenes during the first season of Intangible, until their fling imploded and started the bad blood between them. Now back on set together for the first time in years, and with the world's eyes on them and their post-show careers on the line, they'll have to grit their teeth and play nice. But with pressure from the studio to keep fans of their love story happy, the show runners make sure that Lilah and Shane's characters can't keep their hands (or lips) off each other. And if they're not careful, they just might get blindsided by one final twist: winding up together after the cameras stop rolling"-- Leseprobe 1 Now As if she needed another reminder, the fact that Lilah Hunter was once again trapped alone in a room with Shane McCarthy was confirmation that her life had gone completely off the rails. She should’ve prepared herself. It was only a matter of time. Luckily, he hadn’t been on her flight to New York, and they hadn’t run into each other at the hotel. She knew she’d be seeing him tonight, obviously. But she’d naïvely assumed that things would be hectic enough that there would always be some kind of buffer between them—­that they wouldn’t have to acknowledge each other, let alone interact. Not yet, anyway. At first, she’d been correct. Just an hour ago, the backstage holding area for talent at Radio City Music Hall had been bustling with people, all assembled for the same purpose: the annual UBS upfronts, part of the most important television event of the year. Over the course of one week in May, every major network took turns revealing their fall schedules to potential sponsors, flying out their biggest stars to make their presentations as flashy as possible in an attempt to lure in advertising dollars. She’d avoided Shane from the moment she’d entered the greenroom, but really, he’d avoided her first. When she’d walked through the door, their eyes had met immediately, and her spine had tingled with that familiar, involuntary frisson of disgust. She should’ve prepared herself for that, too. If he’d seemed at all happy to see her, or even just neutral, she would’ve gone over and greeted him warmly like everything was fine. Really, she would have. Instead, he’d paused for a moment, face clouding, mouth tightening, before returning to his conversation, angling his back resolutely toward her. Fine. If that was how he wanted it. She’d squared her shoulders, sauntered into the room, and struck up some small talk with the first familiar face she saw. Slowly, though, the crowd had dwindled, as people were escorted to the stage in small groups. Intangible ’s slot was last on UBS’s agenda that evening: the grand finale. They’d somehow successfully managed to keep Lilah’s return to the show a secret ahead of the big reveal, which, even in a gathering of the network’s best and brightest, had caused a stir when she’d first shown up backstage. She’d been a little embarrassed by th...
