Fall into bed with the too-hot-for-his-own-good Italian celebrity who’s just skyrocketed to fame and be another notch in his belt? No thanks.
Accept his proposed business deal that will have us spending a lot of time together – much of it under the same roof - in order to further our careers? Definitely a possibility.
What we have is a business arrangement. Nothing more.
It’s a fact I have to keep reminding myself of every time Niccolo Mancini pins me with his eyes or my heart pounds in my ears when we’re close.
He has a rule: Don’t kiss women on the lips.
I have a rule too: Don’t get involved with celebrities…even if I’ve fantasized about Nicco for months after watching his latest movie.
As the terms of our deal play out, my humdrum life is flipped upside down…and we’re both dangerously close to breaking our rules.
Did I mention that he’s also a musician? He sings and plays guitar…and wrote a song for me. Yeah, so there’s that.
He’s a man who’s hurting and exposes his wounds and fears to me, drawing me more deeply to him. Just when I let him in, the temporary fairytale implodes, crushing my heart. I run…and wonder if what we had was ever even real.
He got what he wanted from our deal.
I didn’t. My career is crumbling beneath me.
What do I do now?
