From Happily Ever His:
PROLOGUE:
Ryan
I’ll say this here because it’s important.
I’m not the kind of guy who believes in fairy tales. Or happy endings, unless they’re in the movies. That’s just not the way my life has gone.
I’m the action hero, the guy who takes the role and does his own stunts, the hard-working actor who just hasn’t quite managed to get his star to stick. But I’m working on it. Because honestly? I need the money.
Of course, most of the public remembers me for my role in an epic television drama called Charade of Stones. And after the writers wrecked the whole series in one fiery ending episode full of rampaging elephants and flying monkeys? Well, I was still getting questions about that.
Flying monkeys, for fuck’s sake.
But actors don’t write the shows. You know that right?
I was scrapping to make it in Hollywood, doing whatever it took. That’s why I never thought I’d find the role I’d been made for so far away from the Sunset Strip. And I never thought real life would be the most important role I’d ever play.
And I definitely never believed in love at first sight.
Until I saw Tess Manchester.
