Blurb:
They’ll do anything for fame, whatever the
cost.
Harry Alexander and Grant Hunter are big names in reality
TV, but they couldn’t be more different. For Harry, fame happened by chance. He
was working as a marine engineer on a cruise ship when the liner became the
subject of a fly-on-the-wall documentary series. Harry’s good looks and
charming personality made him an immediate hit with viewers, and he became the
break-out star of the show.
Grant Hunter took no chances in his pursuit of fame.
Having starred in the outrageous reality show Sexy Northerners, he grabbed
success with both hands and didn’t let go. Grant is prepared to do whatever it
takes to stay at the top—red-carpet appearances, parties, high-profile romances
and X-rated videos. He’ll do anything in the name of self-promotion to maintain
his notorious reputation.
When Harry arrives in Grant’s home city of Manchester,
they have preconceived ideas about each other. As they realize they have more
in common than they ever thought, they must overcome prejudice, rivalry and the
social and professional barriers placed before them, if they’re ever to get
together
Series
Blurb: Fame, money, power. Some men will do
anything for them. In every field, it’s a cut-throat race to the top, littered
with deceit, passion and love. For those strong enough to get what they want,
maintaining it is never easy.
Reality TV stars, footballers, lawyers, singers and
movies stars—join them as they discover what they’re each prepared to pay to
preserve their success.

Excerpt
The bars along the canal were busy for a Sunday evening. People sat at the outside tables, laughing and drinking. From the corner of his eye, he clocked that someone had recognized him and was moving in his direction. Harry tucked his chin and kept walking. He wanted to reach his room, lock the door and spend some quality time alone.
When a hand touched his shoulder, he expected it to be a fan, eager for a photograph. He turned, hoping to make it quick, and was surprised to recognize the smiling face that greeted him.
Grant Hunter.
My God, he’s handsome. Up close, his chiseled features and warm brown eyes were exquisite. His smile grew wider and his eyes sparkled with amusement.
“I thought it was you,” Grant said, thrusting a hand forward. “Nice to meet you at last.”
“You too,” Harry said, accepting the firm handshake.
“I wanted to say hello last night, but you left the club before I got the chance.”
“Sorry.” Harry shrugged, unable to tear his eyes from Grant’s hypnotic gaze. Dark and moody, like a film star from a different era, a 1950s matinee idol who’d stepped straight off the screen and been transported to modern-day Manchester.
You could cut yourself on his cheekbones, they’re so sharp. And that jawline…
“It wasn’t really your scene, was it?” Grant asked.
“I guess not. But sorry, again, I should have come over before I left. It was rude not to.”
“Why don’t you make it up to me now?” Grant said, gesturing to the bar where they had stopped. “A drink. I’ve got nothing else to do right now. How about you?”
The man was a natural flirt. That was obvious. But he had an undefinable and powerful charisma. Harry’s heart beat faster. Grant had an instant effect on him. “Why not?”
