Take Your Charming Somewhere Else: A Novel

From the IPPY-award-winning author of Fallout Girl comes the final novel of the Hollywood Lights series.



How do you find love when your biggest secret is an unforgivable sin?



Charlie George, Los Angeles attorney, seems to have a perfect life. A sky-high apartment. A drool-worth sports car. A fast-track to partner in a prestigious firm. And a face that would make angels weep. But his drive for perfection is no accident: he carries a secret so ugly that he can never forgive himself. The best he can do is craft the perfect career to carry on his family legacy. He can never let anyone close-his awful past would drive them away.



Tory Murphy has seen it all-at least three or four times. As an emergency medicine doctor, she's patched up more bullet wounds than she can count. She can diagnose a patient-or anyone-at twenty paces. But Charlie George still manages to keep his secrets from her, even after three years of friendship. And although she senses the heat between them, he's always held her at arm's length.



When a terrible homicide case lands on Charlie's desk, it sets off a bomb that leaves him reeling. His façade shredded, Charlie loses the perfect life he's built. The only good thing left in his life is Tory-and his undeniable love for her. But is love enough to pull Charlie back from the brink of self-destruction?
