Who of us hasn’t dreamed of meeting a film star we found enchanting on the big screen? If we did, would we find the courage to speak or would we be too starstruck to make coherent conversation? And would the celebrity even be interested in getting to know us or would we simply be one more fan they offer a quick smile to before vanishing into thin air like an apparition? These are the kinds of questions we are presented with in Scottish author Sean-Paul Thomas’s new novel. In it, he deftly captures our imaginations with two unforgettable leading characters.

Before we met, we both had our share of bad romances. Any time we were coming out of one of those, it usually took us a minute to find our footing and try again. So, we totally relate to the heroine in Emma Lynden’s debut romance, where a writer decides she wants to skip an upcoming holiday altogether to simply find her muse and recharge her batteries. But as usually happens, things don’t entirely go her way. We hope you enjoy this excerpt from The Holiday Plan. —J&H
