Emma

by Stacy Broadbent
 
A simple kiwi girl turned Hollywood superstar, that's what they call me.
 
After a few too many drinks at one of the biggest awardsceremonies on the planet, I make one of the most epic fauxpas of the century; I try to run off with someone else's award. You'd think it would be enough to put me on the scrap heap, forever known as "that has-been actress from New Zealand". As luck would have it, a plucky drunk is just what the Ramirez brothers are looking for.
 
Turns out, they're not the only ones. Literally falling into the strong, capable arms of my neighbor, Brock Appleby, I can't help but turn into a bumbling idiot whenever he's around .
 
Hardworking, kind, and a gentleman to boot, Brock is everything I need, and nothing I feel I deserve. Running froma past that won't let me forget, it's no wonder I turn to theonly thing that dulls the senses; alcohol.
 
Can I overcome my past and forgive myself, or will I let my addiction take hold and drag me down?
