Center Stage by A. Unda-Tames

What happens when the role of a lifetime turns into the love you never planned for?

Center Stage is a spicy contemporary romance about second chances, unexpected desire, and falling in love when you least expect it — and it’s FREE today and tomorrow (January 3–4).

🎭 One Stage. One Co-Star. One Irresistible Connection.

After a painful divorce, Emmie finally does the thing she’s always dreamed of: she moves to Puerto Vallarta to chase her acting career. On stage, she’s confident and fearless. Off stage? Not so much.

Especially when her new co-star is Alejandro — local heartthrob, tabloid favorite, and the town’s most notorious bachelor.

What begins as undeniable chemistry during rehearsals quickly turns into stolen glances, late-night line readings, and a heat neither of them can ignore. Emmie knows the rules:

  • He doesn’t do commitment.

  • She shouldn’t fall again.

But the more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to pretend it’s just acting.

πŸ’” A Reformed Bachelor Meets His Match

Alejandro never planned on love. Playing the charming leading man is easy — until Emmie walks in and knocks him completely off script. She’s older, wiser, and sees right through him.

As feelings deepen, old wounds resurface… and a surprise neither of them expected changes everything.

When a secret from Emmie’s past comes to light, Alejandro must decide:
Run from love — or fight for the family he never knew he wanted.
