A small-town waitress and a Hollywood starтАЩs worlds collide in this new romance by Ashley Herring Blake, USA Today bestselling author of Iris Kelly DoesnтАЩt Date.
Once upon a time, Ramona Riley was a student at a prestigious art school, with dreams of landing in Hollywood as a costume designer to the stars. But after her fatherтАЩs car accident, she had to quit and return to her small New Hampshire town, Clover Lake, to help take care of her younger sister. Twelve years later, Ramona is still working at the townтАЩs caf├й, all but given up on her dream. But when a big-budget romantic comedy comes to Clover Lake to film, she wonders if this could be her chance. ThereтАЩs only one problemтАФDylan Monroe, her first kiss and HollywoodтАЩs favorite wild childтАФis the star.
Dylan Monroe has always lived an unconventional life, having famous rock icons for parents. But she wants to prove that sheтАЩs not some chaotic, talentless nepo baby, that she has actual skills, that sheтАЩs just a normal person. To do that, Dylan takes on a project at a charming lake townтАФshe even works at the townтАЩs caf├й (very quaint), shadowing a local waitress there (very cute), and asks her to take Dylan around to do Normal People Things.
But Dylan soon realizes itтАЩs not just some small-town waitress sheтАЩs getting to knowтАФRamona Riley is someone sheтАЩs met before, someone who remembers her even more vividly. Before long, however, reality hits them, and both women must decide if the spark between them can fan the flames of their individual dreams, or if it will extinguish their light.
