In Your Dreams!: An Unlikely, Later-in-Life Love Story (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798985561913)

Set in contemporary London and California, In Your Dreams! is an emotional roller coaster following an upper-class British actor's pursuit of an American who is not impressed by or attracted to him, even though he's the leading man in a BBC-TV drama.

Jamie's star is rising. Tired of fake-dating for publicity, he would like to meet a smart lady who has compatible interests and values, and is not star-struck. But he's gun shy, having been used for his family's wealth and by women who only want to be seen with an attractive actor. His mum wants him to marry a posh family friend. His greedy agent wants him to remain single to build his female fan-base. His fans just want him.

Self-sufficient Kat, who lost interest in romantic entanglements after too many disappointments, can't imagine why this man she met on a trip to London is interested in her. Jamie Knight is nice looking and stylish, while Kat sees herself as average-looking, prefers jeans and sneakers, and thinks fashion is frivolous manipulation for profit. Jamie is from a respected old English family. Kat's family photo should be in a psychology textbook under "dysfunctional." How could they possibly be compatible?

Besides, she has better things to do than buy another losing ticket for the love lottery. Her public affairs career in state government is going well and the Scottish fiddlers she backs up on guitar are always rehearsing for their next performance. She has worked hard to achieve financial security and have a comfortable home. That and music, friends, and her two cats are all she needs to be content. Why let some guy mess things up?

In Your Dreams! is a contemporary romance about Generation X man and a Baby Boom woman from very different walks of life, whose difficult choices--and past experiences--could derail both of their futures.
