The Stage Manager

A steamy fling romance set behind the scenes of a community theater production. 

Nick Baker is not Izzy Rowland's type. Nick Smokes. Nick has tattoos.

And she's a woman.

Izzy should be focusing on her role in their community theater Shakespeare production, but she can't keep her mind from wandering to steamy thoughts about Nick. Both women have every reason to keep it casual: Nick is looking for stage management jobs across the country and Izzy, a public school teacher in conservative Alabama, is just one year away from tenure. But things rarely work out the way we plan.​

What starts as a no-strings summer fling gets complicated, and soon Izzy starts to suspect that Nick is keeping a secret from her.
