Spotlight (Paperback)

Lily Richards loves a good story. As a journalist, she's often writing one. As a fan, she's often reading one-especially when it's about her favorite celebrity. The attention he generates fascinates her. As does the role her profession plays in creating the phenomenon that is actor Daniel Brighton. Are the media to blame for the way the paparazzi chase him? Do they provide too much information about his private life to obsessive fans? And are they the cause of all the madness surrounding Daniel's rumored relationship with a certain former costar? Personally, Lily would much rather report on Daniel's latest role than on his latest dining companion. And a chance encounter with the star gives her the opportunity to prove she's not like every other journalist, or every other "fangirl." Nate Brennan-Daniel's publicist-isn't convinced of Lily's altruistic nature. His client's sudden preference for the no-name columnist baffles him, and when he is forced to concede to Daniel's wishes and work with her, their professional battles soon lead to personal sparks. While Daniel and Lily grow closer, Nate finds himself caught between mistrust and attraction. As Lily's career slowly transitions from the newsroom of her hometown paper to the online world of entertainment media, she must find a balance between the demands of the job and the personal relationships she now holds dear. Is a photograph worth losing a friend? Is her next story worth losing the man she loves? She never knew it would be so hard, standing near the glare of the Spotlight . . .
