The Determined You
Only You Book 2
by RM Alexander
Genre: Romantic Suspense
Blurb:
Heroes paint the big screen, but a violent opponent interferes with true love, driving one actor to prove he’s more than a script.
Easy-going Lil Reed is like every red-blooded female would be: excited to meet her first Hollywood A-lister. After all, Grey Richards is the talk of the town. And she’s the lucky one; his brother is marrying into her family. But Lil quickly learns an age-old lesson: be careful what you wish for. Grey is nothing like the charismatic and charming characters he portrays. This heartthrob is surly, arrogant, and completely closed off.
With no patience for gossip-reading fan girls, Grey is far from interested in the youngest Reed sister. And a guy like Grey would never date outside the elite Hollywood circles. That would be career suicide.
However, when there’s a threat against the Reed sisters, Grey feels compelled to protect the spunky and adorable woman who somehow wiggled her way into his heart. With danger closing in, Grey must save the sisters and prove to Lil that there’s more behind the glamour and glitz. But will she ignore the fake tabloids for a chance at real love?

Excerpt:
Paige sauntered past tables of clinking silverware, murmurs and crunching fresh bread. Her stomach rolled. Full or not, she may have to indulge further. It’d been awhile since she had a dinner that tasted this good.
She edged to a long table dressed in flowers and several punch bowls full of pretty pink liquid. Picking a glass from the far end, Paige reached for the ladle of the closest crystal bowl.
“Please, allow me.”
She glanced up, hand hovering above the silver ladle. “I, uh, thank you.”
Paige held a cup as Grey Richards poured the punch. “You and your friend were at the shoot today, right?”
She nodded. “Yes, for a little while. During the car chase.”
“I remember. That’s great. I love meeting my biggest fans.”
A soft smile dressed her lips. “I can’t say I’m your biggest fan. I mean … I … I enjoy your movies, but … I …” The heat in her cheeks burned her flustered nerves. “I’m sorry, I … ” She took a sip of the punch. A polite retreat was all she needed.
Grey laughed and tucked a hand in the tuxedo pants. The material flowed and hung, obviously not a rental.
A man like him probably has a closet full of top of the line tuxedos, she thought. She didn’t want to venture a guess at the price tag that came with each one. It was likely to be more than she’d make in a lifetime at her job.
“Honesty. I like that. Don’t get a lot of it where I come from.”
Paige kept her gaze trained on the cup, heat spreading like wildfire.
He leaned back a little, gaze traveling up and down Paige’s body, feet to head, and back again. Paige shifted her weight to one foot, then the other.
“You’re uncomfortable around me.”
She met the trademark gray-charcoal eyes. “I imagine you get that a lot.”
Steady in his stare, she felt like he was drinking her in. “What’s your name?”
She drew in a steadying breath. “Paige Reed.”
“Paige Reed.” He watched her. “Paige Reed.” He turned her name in the smooth steely voice every fan knew well. “Pretty name for a pretty lady.”
What a line. But he doesn’t need practice with lines, she bet. She took a sip of punch, thankful the trumpeting thought didn’t pass through her lips. “Thank you.”
“So,” he said, taking a drink of punch, “what kind of movies do you enjoy if you’re not my biggest fan?”
She swallowed hard and coughed. “I didn’t say I didn’t like your movies.”
“No, of course, you didn’t.” He turned to the punch and poured a second cup, took a drink. “You wouldn’t admit that much, would you? I ask again, what are your favorite movies? I bet you’re a romance fan.”
“And if I am?”
He chuckled, hand held up in retreat. “Nothing wrong with romance. I’ve been looking at a couple scripts myself, but nothing’s come my way that has caught my
attention. What’s your favorite, if you had to choose?”
” Pride and Prejudice. The one with Keira Knightley.”
He nodded. “Historical romance, huh?”
Her turn to nod.
“Good film. Good cast. And I bet you’re wondering what the actors are like in real life?”
She smiled and shrugged. “No. You wouldn’t tell me even if I were, and really, I’m not a National Inquiry kind of girl anyway. They’re just people, who happen to make good movies. And you, you’re just another person who happens to make good movies.”
His smile widened. “I like that. And yet, when I first came over here, you struggled to talk to me. If I’m just another person, why was that?”
She glanced over her shoulder to the table, where Lil stood, frozen and slackjawed. Paige giggled.
“Something funny?” He glanced over her shoulder. “You’re friend looks like she might be a National Inquiry kind of girl.”
Paige gritted her teeth. “My sister. She’s a good person, who just might be one of your biggest fans. Are you that callous towards all your biggest fans?”
“Oh, no. I didn’t mean any offense.” He shifted his weight. “I should let you get back to your sister. It’s been interesting talking to you, Ms. Reed.” He held out a hand.
“Nice talking to you, Mr. Richards.” Paige shook his hand, eyes widening as he brought the back of her hand to waiting lips, eyes trained on her.
Wait. Men still do that?
A quick goodbye and he disappeared into the crowd at the front of the room.
Paige stood, hand hanging in the air, staring at his retreating figure
