Taylor Donovan takes her job as a sexual harassment lawyer seriously, working evenings and weekends so she can make partner at her Chicago law firm. When she's sent to Los Angeles as the lead defense attorney for a long trial, she expects to concentrate on her work and not have anything to do with the Hollywood hoopla. Her boss has other plans for her when a celebrity client wants to shadow a real trial lawyer to prepare for an acting role. Is it a coincidence that the recently voted "Sexiest Man Alive" is paired with one of the firms few female lawyers? Probably not, but Taylor must do her best to bear her additional burden, or risk offending her boss. Spending time relaxing and having fun with a guy just isn't on her career agenda.
In addition to being sexy and talented, Jason Andrews is one of the highest paid actors in Hollywood. He's used to every person responding to his needs and rearranging their schedules to accommodate his whims. When the lawyer who is supposed to prepare him for his next role turns out to be serious, sarcastic and not at all impressed by his obvious importance, Jason is surprised and upset, but intrigued. Suddenly he can't seem to get enough of this straightforward woman who doesn't particularly want to spend time with him, and definitely doesn't want to join him in the media spotlight that's his daily life. Can Jason make Taylor see that he has more to offer her than being JUST THE SEXIEST MAN ALIVE?
Even in the improbable world of Hollywood's top actors, Julie James introduces believable characters with real motivations behind their actions. With two witty and charming main characters, the dialogue is sure to keep the reader entertained. The sexual harassment case that Taylor is defending, along with the antics of the legal secretaries at her office, provides the perfect counterbalance for her developing relationship with a major celebrity. While almost any woman would be swept off her feet by the fame and wealth of a Hollywood star, Taylor isn't convinced by Jason's obvious charms, which makes reading the story of their romance even more enjoyable!
