In Your Dreams! by Dana Michaels

She has always lost the love lottery. Why would she bet on an English playboy actor?

To British audiences, Jamie Knight is a rising TV star and a stylish ladies’ man who dreams of joining Hollywood’s A-list. Now in his forties, he’s tired of pretending to be a playboy for publicity. Could anyone love him just for himself—not his career, income, or his family’s status? His mother wants him to marry a posh family friend, his agent wants him to remain single for his fans, and his fans just want him.
American Katerina Mancini has had nothing but disappointment when it comes to relationships and swore-off romantic entanglements years ago. Why bother when you know you’ll end up right back where you started?
During a trip to London, a chance meeting has her face-to-face with British actor and reputed Lothario Jamie Knight. He’s more down-to-earth than she expected, but Kat once worked in Hollywood and knows that—despite his charming “opening act”—he’s a heartache looking for a place to happen.
The truth is, Jamie is ready to be a one-woman man if he can find a trustworthy person with compatible interests and values, who isn’t star-struck. Kat Mancini ticks every box, and she’s not only clever and intriguing, but nice. And funny. Although she didn’t seem impressed with him, he can’t get her out of his head. Could she be The One who might give an honorable man with a fake bad reputation a chance? Perhaps
When Jamie begins calling her, Kat can’t help but wonder why. They live an ocean apart! He’s ten years younger than she is, looking for a big career break, and playboy actors don’t pursue average looking, middle-aged civil servants like her. But Jamie is awfully nice and—despite her declarations—she really does long for love. After a year of seeing his true colors emerge, her heart, for better or worse, is overpowering her head. But can love triumph over a lifetime of ambition?
