A sizzling romance with the newest “it” boy may garner her industry attention. She’s head over heels in lust with Jack, but there’s her own career to think of as well. While Grace and Jack are still swapping innuendo-loaded quips and text sex though, the paparazzi have caught up with them, headlining the “unidentified redhead” who’s been photographed trysting at a restaurant with the heartthrob of the year. Grace is trying to restrain herself from jumping a man who is nearly a decade her junior, but Jack is making it clear that he personally has zero problems with that idea. And Hollywood’s newest Brit super-hunk Jack Hamilton certainly sees a lot to like. Ten years after discovering that looks and talent are a dime a dozen in Los Angeles, she’s wriggling into a pair of badass jeans and ready to show the film industry that there’s way more to her than just a head of gorgeous red curls. The first in USA TODAY bestselling author Alice Clayton’s Redhead series is a playful and erotic romance between an aspiring actress and Hollywood’s hottest new leading man.

His eyes looked upward too, as if the heavens were telling him what to sing and how to carry on. I used to think of him as a folk Orpheus, particularly in those photos where he lifted up his voice to the sky.
