 Book Summary: He’s Hollywood’s golden boy. She’s determined to stay invisible. When their lives—and their secrets—collide, neither is ready for what comes next. After years of living for the cameras, Derek Riley needs an escape. Training for a movie role on a remote river sounds perfect, until his whitewater guide, Donovan, treats him like he’s just another tourist. For the first time in his career, Derek doesn’t know his lines…or how to uncover the person beneath Donovan’s armor.

Because sometimes, love is the most dangerou...
