The companion novel to Laura Woodâs âexcellent, unputdownable adult debutâ (Library Journal, starred review) Under Your Spell follows Theo Eliottâs best friend Cynthie Taylor as sheâs pulled back into a fake PR relationship with Jack Turner-Jones, the one costar she swore sheâd never work with again.
When Cynthie Taylor gets her first real acting job, starring in a small British movie, she is over the moon. There is only one problemâŠCynthieâs arrogant and annoyingly handsome costar Jack hates her, and the feeling is definitely mutual. While they may be at war behind the scenes, their on-screen chemistry is palpable, and the studio sees an opportunityâhave the two young stars fake a romance that will charm fans and draw crowds.
Thirteen years later, Cynthie and Jack have successfully kept their promise to stay far away from one another, until a surprising offer comes to make a sequel to the cult classic that launched their careers. But thereâs a catch: they must also rekindle their pretend relationshipâŠand this time thereâs a documentary crew following their every move.
Cynthie and Jack both desperately need this film to work, but can two ex-rivals ever really trust each other? And what happens when the roles theyâre playing start to feel all too real?
