Boy Next Door by Laura Dower

She's chasing the spotlight. He's running from it.

Minor local celebrity Kim Donahue has built her own lifestyle channel online, but she dreams of becoming a Home Network star. She has two priorities in life: raising her grieving fourteen-year-old nephew and making her dream come true. A misdirected package has her knocking on the new neighbor's door... only to have it slammed in her face. Literally. Kim doesn't care how ridiculously hot he is - he's a jerk and she doesn't have time for his nonsense.

Daystar Rising superstar Nate Sanders enjoyed his fame right up until the moment a crazed fan nearly ended his life. Running as far from Hollywood as he can get, he lands in a little town where nobody knows his name. He has one priority in life: to be left alone. So he might have overreacted when his new neighbor knocked on his door. Good thing he's not trying to make friends.

When Kim's nephew runs away and Nate brings him back to her, they form a friendship that has the potential to be much more.

But how can it work when Hollywood is her dream...

and his nightmare?
