Act Like It

Richard Troy used to be the hottest actor in London, but his offstage antics have made him Enemy Number One in the tabloids. His co-star Elaine Graham is the theatre's sweetheart — likeable, popular, and exactly the publicity fix management is looking for.

So the two are pushed into a fake romantic relationship, purely transactional, engineered to rehabilitate Richard's reputation and keep the West End production selling seats. Lainie agrees because saying no is not really an option.

What starts as a contract slowly turns into something neither of them planned, as the time they spend together reveals an unexpected compatibility beneath the mutual irritation. Lucy Parker's debut and the first book in the London Celebrities series, a contemporary romance set in the world of London theatre.
