The companion novel to Laura Wood’ s “ excellent, unputdownable adult debut” (Library Journal, starred review) Under Your Spell follows Theo Eliott’ s best friend Cynthie Taylor as she’ s pulled back into a fake PR relationship with Jack Turner-Jones, the one costar she swore she’ d never work with again.
When Cynthie Taylor gets her first real acting job, starring in a small British movie, she is over the moon. There is only one problem… Cynthie’ s arrogant and annoyingly handsome costar Jack hates her, and the feeling is definitely mutual. While they may be at war behind the scenes, their on-screen chemistry is palpable, and the studio sees an opportunity— have the two young stars fake a romance that will charm fans and draw crowds.
Thirteen years later, Cynthie and Jack have successfully kept their promise to stay far away from one another, until a surprising offer comes to make a sequel to the cult classic that launched their careers. But there’ s a catch: they must also rekindle their pretend relationship… and this time there’ s a documentary crew following their every move.
Cynthie and Jack both desperately need this film to work, but can two ex-rivals ever really trust each other? And what happens when the roles they’ re playing start to feel all too real?
