The Ghostwriter and the Celebrity — Shari Malin

Elara Vance, a meticulous ghostwriter who lives to stay in the shadows, has just landed the job of a lifetime: penning the memoir of action movie star Cade Rylan. Cade is notoriously arrogant, breathtakingly private, and guarded by an impossible public persona.Their only communication is through late-night phone calls. In the dark, Cade drops the facade, sharing the traumatic past and hidden vulnerabilities that shape the man he truly is. Elara, the hardened cynic, finds herself falling deeply for the voice on the other end—the man who has no idea what she looks like, or that she's the one transcribing his deepest secrets.The anonymity shatters at a high-stakes publishers' dinner when Elara must publicly expose herself to defend the honest story she's written. Humiliated and furious, Cade storms out, leaving Elara to deal with the fallout of their professional disaster and her own personal heartbreak.Now, with their careers—and the fate of the book—hanging in the balance, they are forced back to the table. They fell in love with a voice, but can their fragile connection survive the harsh light of reality?
