Who knew love could bring a playwright so much drama? Writing three plays for a nationally acclaimed theater in Phair, Texas, was never supposed to put Ashlyn Carter's inheritance at risk, or make or break her future. And it certainly wasn't supposed to force her into constant contact with the very guy she's avoided since her teenage crush-gone-bad days. Noah Blake. He's Ashlyn's enemy, for good reason. As her older brother's best friend, he seems hell-bent on interfering with nearly every aspect of her life. So how then does he also seem to be her muse? When Ashlyn reluctantly agrees to act out scenes with Noah from the play she's writing in order to trigger her creativity, the spark of passion she'd felt for him as a teenager flares up again. But there's more at stake than just her future as a playwright or the inheritance she never cared about in the first place. Finding out the theater she loves is in danger of closing puts everything she thought she knew and felt about Phair...and Noah...to the test. Will there be a standing ovation for Ashlyn Carter, playwright, or will the curtain drop on her heart and fade to black? Only by facing their biggest fears together will Ashlyn and Noah learn to trust in themselves and each other.
