About this listen
For fans of Romantic Comedy and Notting Hill (so, everyone?!), a second-chance celebrity/normal person romance you’ll listen to in one sitting.
Even a year ago, no one would have recognized Jack Felgate at a bar. But after his steamy breakout TV role, he’s surprised to be swarmed by fans during a night out with friends. When the practical bartender CJ intervenes to fend off his admirers, he’s grateful—and more than a little eager to stick around for an after-hours drink–turned–tryst.
Five years later, Jack shows up to set for his starring role in (yet another?!) adaptation of The Great Gatsby only to find CJ is the film’s production designer. But neither of them is the same person they were back then: CJ is a single mom with a four-year-old, and Jack is a bona fide celebrity managing ceaseless demands on his time and attention.
Their chemistry hasn’t dimmed since they saw each other last, but is there room in their lives for anything more than one very memorable night together?
“Everything I’m always looking for in a romance: smart, warm, and sexy as all hell.”—Katie Cotugno, New York Times bestselling author
“Set Piece has more heart and more action than you’ll ever get from Us Weekly.”—Lindsey Weber, co-host of Who? Weekly

In her life in NYC, Alice feels like she’s withering on the vine. So when her boss suggests she attend wine harvest in rural France, she’s on a plane faster than she can second-guess herself. On her first day of alcohol-addled adult summer camp, she’s paired with Henri—equally disillusioned, albeit in his own very French way—and she realizes just how much can change if she’s willing to get her hands dirty.

Cassidy is done living life as the headline-making other woman. She's paid for her mistakes as a young campaign intern in spades, and she's ready to move on.

I’m a no-nonsense man. As the head of a business empire, I have to be. I’m logical, cut-throat, and don’t believe in cheesy things like marriage and happy ever afters. But when my best friend asks me to be Best Man, I can't say no. En route to the wedding, I get stuck at the airport when my flight is delayed, and this obnoxious woman sits next to me. Not only does she keep drinking champagne even though she obviously can’t hold her liquor, but she seems determined to push every single one of my buttons.
