Excerpt

“So, Cade tells me you know each other. How did you meet Katie?”

“Well, I met him a few weeks ago at his show here in LA. I had never been before. I’ve always been a fan and I couldn’t miss a chance to see them live.” I was floored. Why in the world would Cade Walker go on a talk show and stay to sit and chat with me? On live TV. With tons of viewers. Jeez. My mom was going to shit herself.

“That’s true. She was at my show. She came backstage and hung out with the guys for a while too. But what she isn’t saying is that we had no idea she was such a big deal. I asked about what she does and she said she was an actress. Those are a dime a dozen in LA so I just assumed she was doing commercials or something. So imagine my surprise when I turn on my TV and there she is. She’s a huge star.” Cade laughed ruefully.

This was blowing my mind. Cade was impressed by me? I really thought he’d think my work was a joke. Hell, I think my work is a joke.

“You really had no idea?” Fallon asked. “She has a billboard in New York you know. It’s huge. I have a picture actually.” On the screen in front of us, the picture appeared.

Ugh. Really? How embarrassing.

“Holy Shit. How did I not know who you were?” Cade asked me while looking at the picture.

“It’s not a big deal.” I said trying to convince someone, anyone.

“Looks pretty big to me.” Fallon deadpanned.

I put my hand over my face and laughed.

“Let’s talk about Cade now. He’s done tours and magazine covers and stuff. Let’s not talk about my hugely embarrassing billboard.” I begged.

“Hey, we talked about me earlier. It’s your turn.” Cade said with a grin.

Damn he’s hot. I want to lick his face.

“Let’s talk about your upcoming projects Katie. We know about your movie Mother Knows Best. What else is in the works for you?” Jimmy asked

“I’m looking into a few things now. I got a few scripts I’m going over. I have a few offers but I’m looking to branch out with my next project. Maybe something out of my comfort zone. I want a challenge.” I told him.

That was my big moment. Now the world knew my plans. Before my parents too. This whole day was going to cause me a lot of problems.

“That’s interesting. I had the author of Damaged, Sarah Billings, here yesterday. They’ve optioned off her book to be made into a movie soon. I asked her who she envisioned as her leading lady. She said she would love to have you play Lilly Wright. It’s a little sexier than what you normally do. Would you consider doing something like this?” Jimmy asked.

I was surprised. I hadn’t heard anything about the project. But I had read the book. It appealed to my darker, kinkier side. I would love to do something just like that.

“Wow! Really? I am blown away. I had no idea. I am incredibly honored that she mentioned me. I have to say, a movie like that is really appealing. You never know what I could do next.” I replied.

Suddenly I was giddy with excitement. That was exactly the opportunity I was looking for.

I was pulled away from my thoughts by Cade’s sexy voice. How I forgot he was there I have no idea. He had been quietly observing our conversation.

“I would love to see you do something like that Kat. I bet you’d be great.” He smiled at me.

I felt butterflies flit through my stomach. This guy was too much. Suddenly I was overwhelmed by his presence next to me. The spicy scent of him. It wasn’t cologne. It was too subtle. And utterly enticing.

“Maybe you should play Jackson, the alpha male love interest, Cade. I could see it. You’ve both got chemistry. You look good together. I’d go see it. Maybe I could even get paid for putting it all together.” Fallon laughed.

I laughed too, imagining Cade acting like a millionaire businessman. He had the power and presence but he wasn’t quite right for that role.

“I’m not sure I could pull that one off. I don’t think anyone would want to see a movie I was in.” Cade protested.

“Are you kidding? I’d watch it. Especially if you took your shirt off. I’ve seen that Rolling Stone cover you did. It was pretty hot.” I said eyeing him. “I bet America would love it too. What do you think?” I said looking out at the audience and grinning when the women present went wild.

“What about me? I look alright with my shirt off.” Fallon joked.

“Sure. We can come up with our own screenplay. We can call it Deranged.” Cade quipped.
