Ninety days. One summer contract. Plenty of time to make some questionable decisions. Tessa came to town for one thing: the role of a lifetime. Landing the lead is everything she's worked for, and if she can survive ninety days of rehearsals, performances, and backstage drama, it could change her future. Then she meets Danny. Tall, dark-haired, ridiculously attractive, and her leading man. A summer showmance with him wouldn't be the worst way to spend three months. There's just one problem: Danny barely seems to notice her. And the returning cast's inner circle has made it painfully clear that the new girl who walked in and landed the lead isn't welcome. Enter Jay. Blond, annoyingly fit, and absolutely not her type, the local dancer invites her paddleboarding after rehearsal. One chaotic afternoon turns into late nights, river bars, bad decisions, and Tessa constantly asking the same question: What are we doing tomorrow? With Jay, summer is easy. Backstage, it's anything but. Claire, Tessa's understudy, seems determined to prove Tessa never deserved the role in the first place. The whispers are getting harder to ignore. And just when Danny finally starts giving Tessa everything she thought she wanted, she discovers her leading man might not be on her side after all. Then there's the one rule Tessa absolutely cannot afford to break. No relationships between cast members. Getting caught could cost her the lead and the dream she came here for. Danny is supposed to be the guy she wants. Jay is supposed to be her safe haven. But somewhere between rehearsals, secrets, stolen nights, and a cast waiting for her to screw up, Tessa starts falling for the one person she never planned on wanting. The contract ends in ninety days. Getting caught could end her dream a lot sooner.

MY FORBIDDEN SHOWMANCE Fluster Button
Danny touched my waist during rehearsal.That was not unusual. His character was supposed to touch my waist. What was unusual was the way his thumb moved once against my side before he let me go.Tiny. Completely unnecessary. Definitely not in the blocking.I looked at him. Danny was already facing the director like nothing had happened.Asshole.I smiled and turned back to my mark. Apparently, secretly kissing your costar made rehearsal significantly more entertaining. It also made it harder to remember that secretly kissing your costar could get you fired. But that sounded like a problem for Tomorrow Tessa, and she already had a growing list."Again," the director called.We ran the scene again. This time Danny behaved. Mostly.By the time rehearsal ended, I was sweaty, starving, and ready to do something that did not involve standing under fluorescent lights while someone yelled notes at me.Jay was stuffing dance shoes into his bag when I found him. "What are we doing?"He looked

The coffee shop across from the theater had officially become mine.Not legally. I hadn't purchased it or threatened the owner into signing over the deed. But I'd been there four mornings in a row, which was more than enough for emotional ownership.Jay was already sitting at my table when I walked in."My table," I said, stopping beside him.He looked up from his phone, unbothered. "Good morning to you too.""You're sitting at my table.""You told me to meet you here.""Yes. At the coffee shop. I didn't say you could take liberties."He glanced around the mostly empty room, all four other tables gloriously unoccupied. "Should I move?""No. But I want it acknowledged.""Your table," he said solemnly, like he was signing a treaty."Thank you."I dropped into the chair across from him and pushed my sunglasses up onto my head. Jay's eyes narrowed the second he got a good look at me."What?""Nothing.""You did a face.""I didn't do a face.""You absolutely did a face." He picked his coff

Jay was avoiding eye contact with me.Not dramatically. He wasn't hiding behind scenery or fleeing every time I entered a room, just suddenly very interested in stretching.I dropped my bag on the floor beside him with a heavy thud. “Are you being weird?”“No.”“You seem weird. You stretched yesterday and still managed to look at me.”Jay took his time reaching down toward his ankles before finally looking up. “Good morning, Tess.”“There you are.”His mouth twitched, just a fraction of an inch. Good. We were fine.“Company, hold up before we start,” the director called out from the front of the stage, his clipboard tucked under one arm, looking deeply unimpressed with humanity in general. “I can't believe I have to go over this already, but apparently I do.”That got everyone's attention. Dancers stopped mid-stretch, and the pianist paused his warm-up scales.“This company has a strict no-dating policy between cast members for the duration of your contracts,” the director said, pacin

Jay was leaning against his SUV when I walked out, exactly the way he’d been the two nights before. I climbed into the passenger seat already narrating the plan."So what exactly is the River Bar?" I asked. "Give me the pitch.""It's a bar. By a river.""Groundbreaking."We were five minutes into the drive when I spotted a gas station glowing neon against the dusk, a hand-painted sign in the window advertising FROZEN MARGARITAS."Oh my God," I said, twisting in my seat. "Jay, did you see that? Frozen margaritas at a gas station.""That's deeply concerning, not exciting.""It's the most exciting thing I've seen all day.""You had a whole rehearsal today. Dancing, blocking, Claire being Claire.""And now I've seen a gas station with a margarita machine. Banner day."He was laughing by the time we pulled into the River Bar's gravel lot, shaking his head.The bar was a huge wooden deck built out over the water, strings of lights overhead, and a small stage where a guy with an acoustic gui
