Barry Murray's life is simple: run his bar, keep his employees happy, and remain alone. For most of his life, it's been easy, but he allows himself one exception: his favorite pop star, Lila Wilde.
For years, he's listened to her albums when going through the toughest parts of his life. So when he finds her panicking in the alley behind his bar, all of his walls come tumbling down and he opens up to her in a way he's never done with anyone else.
Fate keeps making their paths cross, and he's falling for her, hard. But when he offers to give her everything, she says no.
Then he meets the quiet Rose Hill, a woman who keeps running into him at his bar. She instantly reminds him of Lila, and while he swears he won't get close to her, he can't stop himself.
Falling for two women was never in his plan, but he's determined not to break either of their hearts.
However, when he looks at Rose and sees someone else, he finds it impossible.
Lila Wilde wasn't always Lila Wilde. She was once a girl with big dreams who happened to find stardom. But now, all of it feels empty. She has an agent who pushes her into writing songs she doesn't like, a growing number of fans who are unhappy with her music, and a boyfriend she just caught locking lips with another woman.
She hasn't written anything of substance in far too long and she's desperate to find that spark again. When she meets Barry Murray, she finally feels it and finds herself unable to stay away from him.
But then her life crumbles and the paparazzi beg for any glimpse of her, so she decides to sink into someone she hasn't been for a very long time.
A quiet woman named Rose Hill.
Rose can give Barry everything Lila can't, yet he seems more interested in her famous counterpart than the real her. But then her secrets come tumbling down, rocking the very core of her and Barry's bond.
And she isn't sure if he will ever forgive her, no matter her reasons for keeping her two lives a secret.
Movers and Shakers is the third and final book of the Family Business series but can be read as a standalone. It features a pop star heroine, a swoony bar owner hero, a happily ever after, and many spicy scenes.
