My Lucky Star

Imagine having a celebrity doppelgänger. Now imagine a hot TV star asking you to impersonate that celebrity to save his career… 

Failing to make it as an actress, Aria Dunne is back in her hometown of Napier, working as a location scout. No more unattainable dreams, just casual clothing and low expectations. Until she finds a Turkish TV star hiding out in the historic hotel she needs for her client.

Cem Erkam is desperate for good publicity after a drunken night ends with compromising photos. With his family banking on his success, he hatches a wild plan – a fake relationship with the New Zealand woman who looks like his old co-star. He just needs to keep his hands off her since they have no future. That’s what everyone’s saying, and they’re right. But the more time they spend together, the harder it is to stick to the script.

Swept into Istanbul’s glitz and glamour, Aria is forced to re-evaluate her sensible life plan. Should she give her acting dream one more go? And what is she supposed to do with the Turkish heartthrob and the most unattainable dream of all?

My Lucky Star is a story about rediscovering passion when your dreams have failed you. It’s also a story of all that is hot and Turkish: men, tea, kebabs… Like a Dizi (Turkish TV series) in book form but with a lot more heat.

 

I’ll automatically read everything Enni Amanda writes because I already know I’ll love it. Her writing gets better and better with each book and I’m not even sure how because she’s already fantastic. Do yourself a favor and preorder this one and add it to your shelf. You’ll thank me later! Aria + Cem=🥰❤️🥺”

Love New Zealand series – BOOK 3

She lives on the other side of the world.
He doesn’t go beyond the corner store.

TV producer Mia is torn between her work ambition and passion for songwriting. Facing a huge career choice, she embarks on a round-the-world trip to find answers. Soul searching turns into a nightmare when she’s robbed. Stuck in New Zealand with only a guitar on her back, she calls the one local she can think of: an editor she once hired via email.

Izzy spends his days in his basement, working on an ambitious film project. His family wants him back on the dating scene, but Izzy prefers imaginary realms to real people. He’ll join the living when he’s reached his creative goals. Probably.

When Izzy’s solitude is crashed by a woman in trouble, he can’t resist the call to help. Having a fleeting visitor gives him an idea – a fake relationship with Mia will get his family off his back. In return, he’ll be a good host (nothing more) and show her New Zealand is not a crime-infested hellhole. He’ll just have to ignore the instant attraction and creative sparks that fly when they’re in the same room, or boat, or… cave.

Their chance encounter changes everything, but how could it ever work? Mia’s whole life waits for her in Helsinki, while Izzy struggles to leave his basement. They’re night and day. Unworkable.
