However, it’s not his newfound sobriety he’s ready to commit to, but his nurse, and former high school sweetheart, Aubrey. Everyone knows relationships are a strict no-no for a recovering addict. Z doesn’t care though. This is his Aubrey, the one who got away, and he’s more than happy to try and persuade her to his way of thinking.

There’s a reason Z is the #1 actor in all of Hollywood, and he plans to pull out all the stops to get this girl. *Note: Recommended for 18+ due to mature themes and subject matter. **A Celebrity Novel: This book is a standalone novel, but will have future companion stories that follow.
