All By Design

I thought I was finally on the right path-new job, fresh start, and a strict no-romance policy that should've been easy to follow.

Then Mark Staltz walked into my life.

A gorgeous film director with a disarming smile and inconvenient timing, he swept me off my feet and straight into Toronto's celebrity world. One minute, I'm decorating for Hollywood royalty Kim and Timothy Reynolds, the next I'm sneaking late-night calls and Sunday movie marathons with a man who swears he wants to take things slow-because he respects me too much. (Which, obviously, means I'm doomed.)

But then one disastrous afternoon-thanks to my meddling coworker-spirals into a headline-grabbing scandal that paints me as the woman who tried to steal Timothy Reynolds from his wife. Mark sees the story and disappears.

He ghosted.

I leveled up.

Now my career is thriving, my name's back in the press for all the right reasons, and I've stopped waiting for closure. But when Mark suddenly reappears, I have to decide if a second chance is worth risking the fresh start I fought so hard for.

Tropes: meet-cute • celebrity world • workplace enemies • big misunderstanding • sweet romance, HEA
