Do people say they hate someone’s guts so that they can still fall stupidly, head-over-heels in love with the other parts?
Asking for a friend.
Okay, fine. I’m not asking for a friend.
Okay, fine. I’m not asking for a friend.
I’m asking for me—and I’m begging you to tell me that the practice of falling in love with your should-be-enemy is common.
Please tell me that I’m not the only person to track down a guy—who used to be Hollywood’s baddest bad boy before he left LA for good—at his off-the-grid cabin in Alaska, show up unannounced, and find him gloriously naked.
This probably happens all the time…right?
Tell me I’m not alone in my stupidity—that I’m not the only woman who would fall for gorgeous blue eyes and a sexy devilish smirk, even if they belong to a broody, mysterious jerk.
Please. Please. Please. Tell me I’m not alone in this.
For the love of everything, I need all the supportive girl power I can get if I’m going to convince Luca Weaver to come back to Hollywood—otherwise known as the place he hates so much that he ghosted Oscar-level success and escaped to no-man’s-land for the last eight years just to avoid it.
Yeah, don’t worry—that smoke you’re smelling isn’t your house catching fire as you read this…it’s just my career and what was previously known as my heart going up in flames.
Billie has been working her butt off in Hollywood for a few years now. Her dream is it to become a successful movie producer. And the next big step towards that goal would be to get this effing job, working for/learning from super famous and successful producer Serena Koontz.
But there's another guy who wants that job.
So what does Billie do? She claims to know reclusive ex/retired/escaped Hollywood super star bad boy Luca - and that she'll convince him to take the lead in Serena's upcoming movie!
LOL!
Former childstar and Oscar-winner Luca left Hollywood for a reason.
And he couldn't have found a more un-Hollywood place.
ALASKA!
Off to the wilderness we go to find him and bring him back to La La Land!
LET THE FUN TIMES BEGIN!

Billie
Naked
lumberjacks are all the rage. Or is it that they’re full of rage?
I’m
not entirely sure, but I think maybe, just maybe, it’s a little bit of both.
Standing
beside a hot tub outside of a rustic Alaskan cabin is a bare-chested,
handsome-as-hell lumberjack of a man, and he is as naked as the day he was
born.
“Who
the fuck are you, and what the fuck are you doing here?” the big, burly man
with a scruffy beard and piercing blue eyes asks me brusquely.
And
holy hell, what a question that is.
I
started this journey in a meeting in LA, promising my boss the world, continued
it with a plane, a car, a hike and kayaking adventure in a cold, rainy Alaskan
setting, and in a highly unanticipated twist, I’m ending it in what must be an
issue of Playgirl magazine come to life.
And
boy oh boy is the centerfold pissed…
“Hello?”
he questions harshly. “I said, who the hell are you?”
As
hard as it is, given his clothes-less state, I force myself to take a good,
scrutinizing look at the rest of his face. I’m here for a reason, and with
nothing more than a ramshackle convenience store owner named Earl’s vague
instructions to go on, I can only hope that the here I’m at is the here I’ve
spent days in a plane, car, and kayak looking for. In addition to a remarkably
carved line on the inside of each hipbone, the angry man standing boldly above
me has a strong jaw covered by a beard, a little scar above his right eye,
miles of muscular, tanned skin, and messy, light-brown hair. I have to look a
little closer to confirm my conclusion through the rolling waves of distrust
and hatred coming off him, but when I focus hard enough, the star-quality glimmer
in his eyes is undeniable.
For
the love of pancakes at a Sunday morning breakfast, it’s really him.
Luca
Weaver, Hollywood’s former baddest boy—the man I’ve nearly killed myself to
find—is right in front of me, and he is naked.
At
my non-answer, his jaw turns to stone. “I asked you a question. Either answer
it or get fucking moving.” I jolt at the rumble of his voice, but my feet do
nothing to take me in any direction. I am rooted to the spot, utterly awed over
the fact that I’ve actually managed something as impossible as finding Luca
Weaver and all of my normal functions are rendered useless. He scowls,
unimpressed with all the hard work I’ve put in—work that he obviously doesn’t
know about. “You have five seconds before I come back out here with my
shotgun.”
“Uh…”
I fumble, trying like hell to grasp the English language once again. I may be
distracted, but on some level, I understand the importance of getting my shit
together enough to at least prevent a shotgun from joining our little meet-and-greet.
But
my brain is bus-y. And slow.
Because
Luca Weaver looks damn good without any clothes.
Eight
years older since the last time he graced the covers of Hollywood gossip
magazines, Luca is a man to whom time has been seriously kind. Either his
genetics are just that good, or there’s some kind of sexy voodoo in the Alaskan
water.
I
mean…his penis is right in front of me, and I can’t find a single thing wrong
with it. It’s straight and veiny and perfectly pink.
“What’s
the matter with you? You have a death wish or something?” he spits at the
statue formerly known as my body. “This is private property.”
His
words are serious and firm, and it seems that maybe I do have a dream that’s
reminiscent of the movie Fargo—fingers crossed there are no wood chippers
nearby. Because for as much as I try, I can’t stop looking at my new phallic
friend, even to form a few simple words.
But,
come on. Luca Weaver’s freaking dick is right there!
It’s
not hard, but still, it’s…big—so big it’s not even a dick.
It’s
a Richard. Sir Richard.
King
Richard, really.
Shit,
I’m in the presence of penis royalty, and I suddenly have the urge to curtsy.
He
is a lumberjack fantasy come to life. Instantly, my brain starts thinking about
pine-scented flannel and chopping wood and giving a blow job… Wait…what?
Stop
being a moron and speak words!
“Uh…so…you’re…naked.”
Oh god, those aren’t the right words!
He
glances down, mutters something to himself, snags a towel from a few feet away,
and wraps it around his waist. “I didn’t invite you here,” he says, his voice
gritty with irritation—and maybe, a little with disuse. Which would make sense.
It’s taken me an entire season of Running Wild with Bear Grylls to get here. I
can’t imagine he’s having book clubs and dinner parties and gabbing with his
pals on the regular.
Towel
adjusted and glorious goods hidden from view, he studies me with frigid blue
eyes and a glare worthy of a scorned woman. I shiver.
“I’m
only going to ask you one more time. What in the hell are you doing here?”
I
fiddle with the edges of my shirt as I finally find my vocal cords. “I’m Billie…Billie
Harris.”
And I am in way over my head.
