Synopsis:

Jamie has it all, looks, brains, and a charming personality. But in this romance cover model’s world, those blessings become a curse when a colleague blurs the line between reality and fantasy. Will women only see him for his looks and never look below the surface to the man beneath?

Hope had a dream job, working with sexy, hot photographs, turning authors’ dreams into reality. When laid off from her publisher as a cover artist she must find her namesake in life again…some kind of hope for her future. Can a birthday wish give her what she truly desires? They say be careful what you wish for.

Destiny seems to bring Jamie and Hope what they need, each other. But a dangerous obstacle stands in their way as obsession turns deadly. Can Jamie trust in Hope’s grounded nature? Is Hope strong enough to live in Jamie’s world? Or will reality intrude on their fantasy of being together?
There was a lot of story crammed into this cute quick read!

Jamie - the gorgeous, smart, sexy cover model has problems with women.  Specifically models who look way more into their photo-shoots then what is really happening.  He dreams of a woman and a relationship where she respects what he does and doesn't get jealous of the compromising situations he is put in.

Hope - injured stumbles onto Jamie's deck while out for a walk on the beach for her birthday.  Instantly she falls for Jamie - even before they find out what each other does for a living.  A cover artist who has lost her job.  Have the fates thrown these two together!?  Was someone listening to Jamie's wishes?

These two are very cute, I wish that the story had been longer to delve more into their budding relationship!

They have amazing chemistry and understand one anothers work and it doesn't come between them as it has in past relationships.
 

Doubt starts to creep into Jamie's dream - a crazy model who is obsessed with him has shaken their fairy tale and sent them running off into hiding.  Can Hope handle the crazy's in his life?  Will she be able look past it?

I'm not going to spoil it for you - pick up this great read for $0.99 (limited time) and see for yourself!
