Celebrity Crush - by Christy Swift (Paperback)

About the Book

"An aspiring author must decide whether her dreams of success and stardom are worth having if they're achieved at the expense of the man who's become so much more than just her celebrity crush in this witty romantic comedy debut. Emmy, a bubbly sci-fi fan, author, and social media influencer, gets a big surprise when her online success puts her in the orbit of her celebrity crush, Jason. Caught between her Hollywood dreams and real-ish feelings, Emmy debates using Jason's "bad boy" image to boost her own fame. Meanwhile, Jason, a fun-loving guy haunted by his past, starts seeing Emmy as a breath of fresh air... and maybe more. For Emmy, that elusive thing called "success" is just a few clicks away, but is her dream worth having if it's at the expense of the man who is becoming much more to her than just a celebrity crush?"--

Book Synopsis

A romance writer's wildest dreams--the bestseller list, a movie deal, and a date with the real-life inspiration for her Hollywood hero--are all within her grasp if only she can hold it all together.

Author Emmy Ellison is a sucker for a page-turning happy ending, but she's no longer counting on one for herself. If she stays focused on her career goals instead of her love life, she just might find success. And now that her latest novel is about to become a movie, she's determined to become the latest social media sensation.

When her secret celebrity crush (the real-life inspiration for her romantic hero) accepts the starring role in the big-screen adaptation of her book, she's determined to team up with a fake dating scheme--now that he's in need of some good PR of his own. Ideally, she can ride the wave of popularity all the way to the top of the bestseller lists. But when the harsh spotlight of fame exposes the truth, will they try to turn their on-camera chemistry into a real-life relationship?
