Someone Exactly Like Me (Book 1 in the Wounded Hearts Series): A Soul Mates, Friends to Lovers, Slow Burn, Celebrity Romance

He has a rule: Don't kiss women on the lips.

I have a rule too: Don't be another notch in the belt of the too-hot-for-his-own-good Italian celebrity who's just skyrocketed to fame.

When Niccolo Mancini proposes a business deal for us to help each other in order to further our careers, we may both break our rules.

He wants to expand his stardom to Hollywood and I know the connections who can help him do that.

Painfully aware that my career as a romance author has taken a sudden nosedive, and knowing that access to his audience as my part of our agreement could quickly turn that nosedive into a steep upswing, I accept his deal.

As the terms of our deal play out, my humdrum life is flipped upside down as he and I spend a lot of time together...much of it under the same roof. What we have is a business arrangement. Nothing more. It's a fact I have to keep reminding myself of every time he sears me with his eyes or my heart races when we're close.

Did I mention that he's also a musician? He sings and plays guitar...and wrote a song for me. Yeah, so there's that.

He's a man who's hurting and exposes his wounds and fears to me, drawing me more deeply to him. Just when I let him in, the temporary fairytale implodes, crushing my heart. I run...and wonder if what we had was ever even real.

He got his end of our deal. I didn't. What do I do now?
