Allโs fair in acting and amore…
Brynn McAdams isnโt the awkward drama geek she was in high schoolโsheโsย grown up and confident, or at least she likes to think so. But when her old crush,ย the impossibly handsome and impossibly unattainable Sawyer Raines, comesย back to town to direct her community play, Brynn finds herself determined toย be someone other than the girl he doesnโt even recognize. Good thing sheโs anย excellent actress.
After his bad breakup in NYC, the last thing Sawyer wants is to get involvedย with another actress. But the glamorous and beautiful Brynn draws him in, evenย though as her director, he knows sheโs off-limits. Thereโs just something aboutย the woman that feelsโฆfamiliar. Like home.
As Brynnโs lies start to snowball, she struggles to stop acting and come clean. Butย what if Sawyer is already falling for the fake Brynn, not the Brynn she truly is?
ACT LIKE YOU LOVE ME excerpt:
โCut, cut cut!โ Sawyer stood. โWas that supposed to be more passionate? Becauseย it sucked.โ
โThis is supposed to be the eighteen hundreds,โ Brynn said. โIt canโt be tooย passionate or it would seem inappropriate for the time.โ
The next instant Sawyer was charging up the steps to the stage. โIโm not sayingย itโs got to be a kiss with tongue, Iโm saying youโve got to look at each other likeย youโre in love so the audience will want it to work out. Our modern audience.โ ย Sawyer shook his head. โTake it again, from before the proposal.โ
It was impossible to concentrate with Sawyer standing right there, so close sheย could hear every shift of his body and feel his gaze on her like a weight. All herย lines were swimming together.
Leo knelt, told her she was an angel. She said her line, trying to peer into his soulย like she wanted to be with him, and then Leo kissed her. And it was sloppier thanย usual.
She did her best to not jerk back, though it was her first instinct.
โOkay, that was justโฆโ Sawyer moved in front of her. He looked at the playbook,ย then lowered it by his side and stared into her eyes. The air thickened aroundย them and she could feel every thump of her heart. โWhat a perfect angel you are,ย Cecily.โ He said it so tenderly, his smile close-lipped but full of joy.
โYou dear romantic boy,โ she said, all out of instinct because thoughts wereย getting fuzzy.
He leaned in and kissed her, a soft kiss with his lips barely parted. The pressureย of his lips increased for a delicious moment, and then they were gone. A quick,ย simple kiss, but when his mouth left hers, she felt its absence so strongly that sheย couldnโt think about anything else for a couple seconds. Her breath was stuckย somewhere in her lungs and her lips still tingled, living the sensation over andย over again. Heat wound through her body, her hands itched to reach out andย touch him. And then she remembered she was supposed to. She ran her fingersย through his hair and felt the whisper of his breath on her wrist as he exhaled.
โWow, that was good,โ Wendy said from the front, breaking Brynn from herย trance.
Brynn stepped back and swallowed, but her throat wasnโt working right. Sawyerโsย eyes never left hers, and one corner of his mouth curved up in a smug, self-satisfied way.
โIt was all right, I suppose,โ Brynn said, working to keep her voice steady. Sheย crossed her arms and shrugged. โFor a first-timer, anyway.โ
That only made Sawyerโs smile grow wider.
Brynn couldnโt help but watch Sawyer as he jumped off the stage. Funny howย sheโd dreamed of kissing him all the time in high school, but her fantasy wasnโtย even close to the real thing. Her heart felt like itโd just been wrung out andย shoved back in her
And her scene with Leo was better. She was sure it had nothing to do with the factย that she closed her eyes and pretended it was Sawyer kissing her again.
Nope. Nothing at all.

Brynn McAdams marched to her own drummer in high school โ an awkward, geeky drummer โ but now sheโs all grown up and nothing like that girl. ย At least she believes so most of the time. ย Then her crush, still handsome and out of her league, comes back to town to help direct her community play and get his familyโs lake house in shape to sell . . . and doesnโt recognize her. ย Now she can use her acting ability to pretend to be someone else, a confident girl who Sawyer would be attracted to. ย Sawyerโs last girlfriend was an actress and things ended so badly he never wants anything to do with one again. ย Too bad he canโt ignore his attraction to Brynn. ย Sheโs sweet, funny and most importantly honest, nothing like his ex. ย The closer they get, the guiltier Brynn feels, but can she come clean about who she really is without losing Sawyer forever?
