AB910 Gerald Reads from Mick & Moira & Brad
In Chapter 1 of this romantic comedy, billionaire-boyfriend Brad Davenport prevails on no-nonsense Moira Halimi-Joubert to throw a doubles tennis match so he can get the Botheralls' business. When busybody Bitsy Botherall catches Moira singing expertly in the shower, the young woman's path to stardom has accidentally begun. She's about to meet Hollywood superagent Mick McGraw, who will try mightily to hide his attraction to her. #romcom #litfic
