Marriage Scandal, Showbiz Baby is a glitzy look in to what life is like both on and off the red carpet for two film stars.

Matteo and Jennifer, both film stars, have been separated from one another and are planning a divorce.  They are both shocked and dismayed to run in to one another at the 4.5 HeartsCannes Film Festival.  In order to keep a low profile from the paparazzi they grudgingly agree to sit together and play it up as a couple.  Eager to escape the whole charade Matteo finds a side elevator for them to escape in to.  When the elevator unexpectedly breaks down with them stuck inside, things heat up between the two and they aren’t able to keep their hands off of one another.

A few months later Jennifer realizes that she is pregnant.  She is unsure of what to do because she hasn’t seen or spoken to Matteo since the night in the elevator.  Will Jennifer’s pregnancy help bring her and Matteo back together or will it tear the two further apart?

Marriage Scandal, Showbiz Baby is the second story in Harlequin Presents, March 2013, two in one volume of A Scandal, A Secret, A Baby by Sharon Kendrick.  It is a passionate and evocative story about getting a second chance at love.  I loved this quick, fast paced read!  The chemistry between Matteo and Jennifer is smoldering.  The dialogue is witty and warm and the story is sharp and well written.

Thank you to Harlequin Presents for giving us two great stories in one!
