The Girlfriend Stage — Janci Patterson

Anna-Marie has never wanted to find love-but love's about to find her.Anna-Marie Halsey loves her job as a regular on the soap opera Southern Heat almost as much as she loves living the LA lifestyle: clubbing and partying and casually dating gorgeous men-most recently powerhouse agent Josh Rios. When Anna-Marie starts feeling more-than-casual about Josh-her signature cue to break things off-she finds a much-needed excuse to get away: a family reunion in small-town Wyoming.In Wyoming, Anna-Marie remembers why she's spent years avoiding her crazy family and claustrophobic hometown-and her ex-boyfriend, up-and-coming rock musician Shane Beckstrom, provides the perfect distraction. But when a Boy Scout troop films them nude in a hot spring, Anna-Marie finds Wyoming even more nerve-wracking than her paralyzing fear of commitment. To make matters worse, Josh Rios appears, and it's clear that commitment is exactly what he's hoping for. Anna-Marie isn't sure what she wants, but being trapped in Everett, Wyoming, with Josh, Shane, and her crazy family when her impromptu sex-tape hits the internet sure isn't it.THE GIRLFRIEND STAGE is a full-length, standalone romantic comedy.
