Simone Oliver prides herself on being a realist and a cynic. A brilliant set designer for a Manhattan theater company, she thrives in the background and is perfectly comfortable in jeans, Chuck Taylors, and a paint-smeared T-shirt. That is, until Zach Hammond, the award-winning (and sexy-as-hell) British director, turns the spotlight on her. He’s clearly captivated by her and won’t take no for an answer—but Simone is determined to maintain her position that love’s not worth the risk. A hopeless romantic who can quote Shakespeare on a whim, Zach has spent his life center stage, surrounded by world-famous actors and royalty. But nothing he’s seen can compare to what Simone can create. Before long, he finds himself as mesmerized by her brash beauty as he is by her work, and he’s determined to seduce her stubborn heart. But while the two may have been successful at relegating romance to the wings in New York, when their production moves to a centuries-old Irish castle in County Clare, there may be just enough magic to give true love the curtain call it deserves.

It's junior year at Hart University, and theater major Tamsin Shay knows exactly what she'll be doing: focusing on acting. She also knows what she won't be doing. Guys. Daniel Bowman knows what he'll be doing, too. Football, engineering classes, volunteer work with his church. One thing he won't be doing: Girls. When they find themselves in a class together, the arguments begin. He's conservative; she's liberal. He's traditional; she's not. The only thing they share is their determination not to give into sexual attraction. What could possibly go wrong?
