Spotlight and Giveaway: Rewrite the Stars

We're excited to feature Lindsay Hameroff's latest novel, Rewrite the Stars! Melissa loved it and gave it five stars, calling it "delightful." Check out her review. Thanks to St. Martin's Press, we have TWO copies for some lucky readers!

Semi-retired actress Marissa Morgan has played many parts in her life. But these days, her primary role is mother of two. Since hitting pause on her career, she’s worked hard to give her kids a normal childhood and shield them from the spotlight. So when her ex-husband announces his high-profile engagement and a media storm ensues, Marissa and her kids flee Los Angeles for a summer at her recently inherited Poconos lake house.

The long-vacant house needs major TLC, so Marissa hires a home renovation company to do repairs. But when the project hits a snag and Marissa finds herself sharing space with the crew, including Jesse, the handsome (and vaguely familiar) foreman, her plans for a drama-free summer hit choppy water.Jesse doesn’t expect Marissa to remember him; they were just kids when they last played together at the lake. But he’s never forgotten her; he’s spent the last two decades quietly following her career, even as his own dreams fell apart. And now that she’s stumbled back into his sleepy hometown, Jesse’s predictable life has gotten a lot more complicated.

As the summer days pass, Marissa finds herself centering her own needs for the first time in years—and that includes giving into her mounting attraction to Jesse. Soon, she finds herself wondering if their fling could become something more. After an unexpected career opportunity falls into Marissa's lap, it feels like the stars have finally aligned. But when new complications arise, the pair wonder how they’ll fit into each other’s future. Can Marissa and Jesse chart a new course together, or is it too late to rewrite the script for a happily ever after?

"The romance in Hameroff’s latest novel lives not only between its characters, but also in the hazy summer nights she captures so beautifully and achingly on every page. A summer romance with enough heat to linger long after the seasons turn." 
—Paige Harbison, author of Destination Funeral

"Lindsay Hameroff writes with so much humor and heart about second chances and the messy complications of being both a single mother and a single woman who’s learning—maybe for the first time—to put herself at the center of her own story. This one had me smiling from the first page to the last." 

—Ali Brady, USA Today bestselling author of Battle of the Bookstores

"Steamy, sweet, and deliciously triumphant, Rewrite the Stars puts Hameroff firmly in the category of rising romcom stars herself." 
—Sara Goodman Confino, bestselling author of Off the Record
