She came home to save her father's house. She didn't expect to find a movie star in her bathroom.
Clancy Lambert left Brinkerton, Michigan, years ago and built a quiet life far from home-one where even her writing goes out under a pen name. She's good at keeping the world at arm's length. She's had to be.
But when a mortgage notice threatens her father's house-and her father's time is running short-Clancy has no choice but to go back and face the town, the past, and the man she never made peace with.
What she doesn't plan for is Jamie Callahan: A-list actor, Hollywood's most recognizable face, and-apparently-her father's tenant. He's spent his whole life being wanted for one thing: his fame. Clancy has no use for it, and no patience for the world that comes with it.
A broken doorknob. A Michigan winter. Two people with secrets they're not ready to share. The longer Clancy stays, the more the walls she's spent a lifetime building start to crack.
Perfect for readers who love:
- Small-town winter romance and coming-home stories
- Forced proximity and a slow-burn build
- A famous hero who falls first-for a heroine who has no use for his fame
- Heartfelt stories with real emotional stakes
- Clean and wholesome, closed-door romance (no explicit content)
Embracing the Role is the first book in The Northern Star Series-clean, swoony standalone romances set in Brinkerton, Michigan, each pairing a small-town heart with a larger-than-life love. Every book stands alone, with a guaranteed happily-ever-after.
Cozy up with Clancy and Jamie today.
Linda O'Donnell writes small-town romance, with heroines rooted in fictional Brinkerton, Michigan, and celebrity love interests who keep dragging them into the kind of places that make the evening news, before everyone finds their way home. She avoids that particular chaos herself, choosing a quieter life in Arkansas with her husband-her ongoing muse and inspiration for every worthy romantic hero-and her menagerie of rescued dogs and cats.
When she's not writing her own happily-ever-afters, she's the co-author (with Fictionary CEO Kristina Stanley) of two books on the craft of writing-Secrets to Writing a Romance and Secrets to Writing a Novel-as well as a writing teacher, a book coach, and editor who has spent more hours than she can count untangling other people's plots (and semicolons). She's also an unrepentant history and genealogy nerd, and an advocate of chocolate as a tool to help address manuscript problems of all sizes.
