She's ready to show she’s more than Princess Platinum of the Vindicators series, a pretty face with CGI superpowers that literally sparkle. Tess wants to prove herself as an actor and that means theatre—the true calling of her thespian heart. But just when Tess lands a part working with an acclaimed stage director, a brewing scandal forces him out. His replacement? None other than hip, buzzy director Rebecca Frisch. The same Rebecca Frisch whose heart a firmly closeted Tess broke over a decade ago during summer stock . . .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs Tess wrestles with her lingering guilt and attraction to Rebecca, she also finds herself struggling to rein in her superstar status backstage. When things unexpectedly reignite with Rebecca, Tess bristles even more against the walls of her A-list life. Since the industry’s made it clear that girl-next-door superheroes can’t also be gay, coming out isn’t realistic for Tess. And ultimately, Rebecca will head back to New York and likely seek out a less complicated relationship anyway.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWill the curtain close on her chance for happiness or will Tess finally take a leading role in her own life?\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eIn Her Spotlight\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“A warm and rollicking romance that makes you feel like a Hollywood insider.” \u003cb\u003e—Rainbow Rowell, No. 1 \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eSlow Dance\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e“Hilarious and tender all at once, In Her Spotlight sparkles with romance and steam, a beautiful story about second chances and creating the life you want.
