What could go wrong?


When Dr. Gwen Wright agrees to house sit for her mother in Los Angeles, she has no idea that her surgically precise world is about to get a major plot twist.


It's Caleb Lawson-world-famous movie star on the run from the paparazzi and his secrets-who crash lands in her kitchen.


Besides being a Hollywood heartthrob, Caleb is also her new stepdad's nephew. He thinks he has as much right to stay in the house as she does, but, as far as Gwen's concerned, she's the landlord and he's the squatter.


Forced to share the small space, Gwen is drawn to the moody celebrity. But falling for a star is a risky business. Especially when there's an army of paparazzi on his tail...


Holiday Star is a swoon-inducing, page-turning, celebrity romance novel with the perfect blend of angst and tension. Read if you like enemies-to-lovers, forced proximity, tons of chemistry, a touch of groveling, and happily ever after.


Perfect for fans of Emily Henry, Lucy Score, Tessa Bailey, and Sophie Lark.
