Love isn’t just an act in this captivating and flirty romance by New York Times bestselling author Jane Porter.
Forty-nine-year-old Margot Hughes has lived and breathed theater for the past twenty-five years. After a devastating breakup with her playwright fiancé, she wants nothing to do with the industry. She has sworn off New York, theater, actors—all of it. She returns to her hometown on California’s central coast and takes a job in real estate, where she manages significant investment properties. But Margot’s suddenly thrown back into the theater world when Sally, her friend and boss, who had been restoring and funding Cambria’s historic theater, has a heart attack. Before she knows it, Margot is tapped to take over the troubled summer production of Barefoot in the Park.
But the play is no walk in the park—the leads and director have all quit, and Margot struggles to find new actors…until Max Russo arrives. Forty-five-year-old Max is a former soap opera star turned rugged cowboy on TV’s most popular western series.  Max has a huge following and is the perfect hero to step up and save the play, provided Margot stars opposite him.   Although adamant she would never return to theater, Margot enjoys the long hours of rehearsal with a professional like Max, who is charming, witty, and passionate. But when the curtains close, can Margot allow herself to fall for Max when he represents everything she left behind?

      Porter’s adorable third Modern Love romance (after Flirting with the Beast) opens on 49-year-old actor Margot Hughes abandoning her theatrical dreams, trading the bright lights and precarity of Broadway for a stable office job in her picturesque hometown on California’s Central Coast. She believes she’s given all she can to the theater, and now she wants to rest. But when her boss and friend Sally Collins, the champion of (and money behind) the local community theater, has a health scare, Margot must step in to save the upcoming production. Luckily, she has some help. Life has been in hyperdrive for 45-year-old television star Max Russo, and he owes all his success to Sally, his surrogate mother. If repaying her means starring in a dinky community production of Barefoot in the Park, so be it. As Margot and Max rediscover their passion for stagecraft, they also find unexpected love after lifetimes of heartbreak. Porter conjures all the charm and chaos of mounting a theater production and makes Margot and Max easy to root for as they navigate the bumpy road to happily ever after. Readers are sure to be charmed. Agent: Holly Root, Root Literary.
