Between the Lines: A Spicy Small Town Romance
An Irish literary festival. A famous actor in disguise. And a romance that was only supposed to be research.Tara spends her days curating other people’s stories in her quiet corner of Ireland, convinced her own life is better spent between the pages of a book. When she meets Nic at her local poetry group, he seems like the first man to truly see her. But Nic isn't the quiet book lover he claims to be.
Nic is a world-famous method actor using Tara’s festival—and Tara herself—to research his next major role. He’s been playing a character from the moment they met, but as the lines between his performance and his feelings begin to blur, his co-star arrives to reveal the truth.
Now, the man Tara trusted is gone, replaced by a stranger she only recognises from movie posters. She has to decide if their connection was a masterpiece of acting or the one thing in Nic’s life that wasn't a lie.
