Fearless. That’s how Delilah MacClare described herself before she was stripped her of her courage. Now, she’s traveled three thousand miles from her West Virginia home to the village of Chatfield in rural England. She spends her days alone reading romance novels in a pub until the morning Cameron Burke presumes to share her booth. An English actor with a Hollywood reputation, Cameron Burke has a list of ex-lovers as long as his thirty-year filmography. Had they met in one of Cameron’s blockbuster films, Delilah would have swooned and stuttered in his presence. He would have fallen in love with her at once. But this is no movie. Instead, what follows is a standoff over rights to the corner booth and, ultimately, a relationship that forces them both to confront all that lies beneath their facades. Perhaps, together, they’ll learn it is never too late to shape a different future. Will Delilah rediscover her fearlessness? Can Cameron become more than the sum of his tabloid exploits?
