Books like Return engagement by Lynn Michaels
Lindsay West grew up as a teenage television star, but the pressures of fame proved overwhelming, so nearly twenty years ago she left her hit show and returned to her hometown of Belle Coeur, Missouri. There, she accepts a role in a new play at the local regional theater, unaware that her former cast mate and one‑time heartthrob, Noah Patrick, has also joined the production. Noah, hoping the theater gig will revive his stalled career, finds his long‑lost love rekindling with Lindsay as they share the stage. As the play’s production unfolds—complete with family eccentricities, a bout of pneumonia, and the odd man‑eating bears—Noah proves he’s changed and that true love can endure beyond fleeting fame. Their summer‑stage romance reminds the audience that love can be sweeter the second time around.
