A. Unda-Tames
One stage. One irresistible co-star. One connection she never saw coming…
After a painful divorce, Emmie, finally does the one thing she’s always dreamed of—moves to Puerto Vallarta to chase her acting career. On stage, she’s fearless. Off stage? Not so much. Especially when her new co-star is Alejandro —local heartthrob, tabloid favorite, and the town’s most notorious bachelor.
What starts as chemistry in rehearsals becomes stolen looks, late-night lines, and a heat neither of them can ignore. Emmie knows the rules:
He doesn’t do commitment. She shouldn’t fall again.
But the more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to pretend it’s just acting.
Alejandro never planned on love. Playing the charming leading man is easy—until Emmie walks in and knocks him completely off script. She’s older, wiser, and sees right through him. And the deeper they fall, the harder it is to keep his heart protected.
But when a secret from Emmie’s past resurfaces—and a surprise neither of them expected—Alejandro must decide whether to run from love… or fight for the family he never knew he wanted.
A heart-melting, sun-kissed contemporary romance with beachside chemistry, small-town charm, and a slow-burn connection that becomes impossible to resist.
