A holiday romance built around a double life

Bee Hobbes, known professionally as Bianca Von Honey, is an adult film star who lands a lead role in a family-friendly Christmas movie. Keeping her two careers separate becomes complicated when she meets co-star Nolan Shaw, a former boy-band member trying to rebuild his public image and support his family. Their history of a childhood crush and the secrecy surrounding the production give this romantic comedy its central tensions. Set on a film set in Christmas Notch, Vermont, the story brings together celebrity, workplace proximity, and the gap between public image and private life, with a reporter’s return adding pressure to the couple’s attempt to keep their relationship off camera.

Book overview

Cowritten by #1 New York Times bestselling author Julie Murphy and USA Today bestselling author Sierra Simone--a steamy plus-size holiday rom-com about an adult film star who is semi-accidentally cast as a lead in a family-friendly Christmas movie, and the former bad-boy pop star she falls in love with in this must-read celebrity romance.

"The charming holiday romp you absolutely need in your life!" --Tessa Bailey

Bee Hobbes (aka Bianca Von Honey) has a successful career as a plus-size adult film star. With a huge following and two supportive moms, Bee couldn't ask for more. But when Bee's favorite producer casts her to star in a Christmas movie he's making for the squeaky-clean Hope Channel, Bee's career is about to take a more family-friendly direction.

Forced to keep her work as Bianca under wraps, Bee quickly learns this is a task a lot easier said than done. This funny childhood crush romance becomes worthwhile when she discovers her co-star is none other than Nolan Shaw, an ex-boy band member in desperate need of career rehab. Nolan's promised his bulldog manager to keep it zipped up on set, and he will if it means he'll be able to provide a more stable living situation for his sister and mom.

But in the forced proximity of the film set, things heat up quickly in Christmas Notch, Vermont, when Nolan recognizes his new co-star from her ClosedDoors account (oh yeah, he's a member). Now Bee and Nolan are sneaking off for quickies on set, turning their new relationship into a secret on-set romance hidden from the Hope Channel's execs. Things only get trickier when the reporter who torpedoed Nolan's singing career comes snooping around--and takes an instant interest in mysterious newcomer Bee.

And if Bee and Nolan can't keep their off-camera romance behind the scenes, then this merry little meet cute might end up on the cutting room floor.

  • A touching holiday read
