To Be a Star

Book Cover & Preview Text
It took Taylor about five days to cross the country, and that was with stops along the way. He camped out briefly with his gear here and there, but if there was a town with a decent hotel, he stayed. People recognized him, and he dutifully signed autographs. Taylor was smart enough to show appreciation for his fans. They got him where he was, and he wanted them to keep him there. But it was secretly tedious to him.
Even though he came across as a guy with an ego the size of Antarctica, Taylor was basically a humble guy who just wanted to act. The whole Hollywood ego thing was to keep people at a distance, and it worked. He didn’t want anyone getting too close, not even Frank. Taylor was the original Solitary Man. Thank you, Neil Diamond, for giving me a moniker. Taylor grinned under his helmet.
As Taylor was ruminating on these thoughts, his attention shifted to the huge cement barriers down below through the gated barricades. He only shifted his attention for seconds, but it was long enough for Taylor not to see the huge semi that swerved into his lane.
Taylor acted instinctively to save his life as his Harley was shaved alongside the huge metal behemoth. Everything went dark and black, and the last thing Taylor recalled was flying through the air and terrible pain. Then it was lights out.

About the Book
TAYLOR BOUDR AIN, HOLLYWOOD HUNK , WANTED A CHALLENGE; TESSA PAT TERSON NEVER SAW LOVE COMING.
Taylor Boudrain is bored. He’s the media-proclaimed King of Hollywood—a successful movie star and womanizer. He has everything he could ever want—fame, fortune, and popularity— so why is he so … bored? In a world where everything is handed to him, Taylor wants a challenge. He wants everyone to forget his name, but it’s hard to do in a city filled with his face.
Taylor decides to leave Tinseltown and head out on a cross-country adventure, with nothing but his motorcycle and the cold, hard pavement. Following a collision with a tractor trailer in Western, New York, Taylor wakes up in the ICU. His nurse is Tessa Patterson—a beautiful single mother, raising her son, Andrew, who suffers from autism—and she isn’t impressed by Taylor’s Hollywood charm. Or is she?
Taylor and Tessa just might be perfect for each other, but nothing is easy when caring for a child with autism. In order for them to live happily ever after—just like in the movies—Taylor and Tessa must go on emotional and spiritual journeys, learning to support Andrew and support one another.
