What I Did For Love

by Susan Elizabeth Phillips

     

Eight years ago, Scooter and Skipper was America’s favorite sitcom.  Skipper was fourteen when the show started.  Scooter was seventeen.  The country watched the characters grow up and fall in love.  Everyone was angered when the behavior of Bram, the actor portraying Scooter, became so crazy that the show was canceled before a storybook wedding could be filmed.

Georgie, the actress who played Skipper, had a huge crush on Bram from the moment she met him.  When she turned eighteen, she finally got up the courage to let him know how she felt.   Since she was a grown woman, she wanted him to treat her like one.  He treated her like one all right.  He took her virginity and walked away.  They continued to work together but Georgie hated him for every one of those four years.

After the show’s cancelation, Georgie met her Prince Charming and settled down for her happily ever after.  Unfortunately, he wasn’t such a charming prince.  He left her for another actress.  The media ate it up.

Georgie goes to Vegas and has a great time.  When she wakes up, she can’t remember much about the previous evening.  Even worse, she finds herself in bed with Bram.  Then to top things off, she finds out that she married him!  This is a catastrophe!

But the more Georgie thinks about it, the more she realizes this could be the solution to the media portraying her as a victim.  She and Bram will pretend to be happily married for a while.  Then they can get a friendly divorce. Finally, everyone will quit feeling sorry for her.  Now if she can only talk Bram into it.

Bram agrees, but only after Georgie agrees to pay him a small fortune. Things roll along a lot more smoothly than either one of them expected.  In fact, it’s going so well that Georgie does the unforgiveable.  She falls in love with Bram.

This book is filled with witty repartee and sexual tension.  Not surprisingly, it’s another great book by a great author.
