Lewis Champion is in love--total, hopeless, unrequited love--with Jubilee Marshfield. Which is complicated, because she's his best friend. And even though his other best friend Shoe, and his awesome grandfather, Paps, are both rooting for him, Lewis can't get up the courage to tell her how he feels. He's always been a wallflower, watching people and making theories rather than acting on his feelings. In a last-ditch effort for her affection, Lewis acts in a play alongside his two friends, and he discovers a talent hidden within himself. But when Paps suddenly dies and leaves in his will a most mysterious task for Lewis, he must find a way to follow through. And along the way, he discovers the secrets of stories, the courage to say what he feels, and a whole new meaning to the word "acting." The only question is, will his best friend feel the same way, or will he lose her when he tells her? Baker Lawley, the award-winning author of THE BATTLE HYMN BLUES, spins a tale of love, drama, and friendship and a good old-fashioned road trip along the way. STEALING THE SHOW is a fun ride on the meaning of acting and the way stories and plays help us make sense of the things we act on.

*****In the past four years of high school there hasn't been a thing that I havent competed for with Dean Purvis, my best friend. Ninety nine point nine percent of the time, there wasn't a thing that I would compete for and not win. Just like my freshman year at Saint Mary's Academy, Dean and I both tried out for the one spot left on the basketball team and I did everything I could to beat him. Then, there were our grades. We both competed for Valedictorian and once again, I beat him by one little point at that as well. We both applied to Harvard University, he got shot down but I got accepted and then felt guilty about not accepting the scholarship that he so badly wanted. But, that is beside the point. The point is, I never let Dean beat me in anything accept one thing. The one thing he actually beat me in getting, is the only thing I ever really wanted. Emma Lancaster. ***** Emma and Beau have been best friends for the longest time. Though Emma always really felt more for him than he did with her, but Beau never could see past playing with womens hearts to really notice that he felt the same way about her. So what happens after graduation when Emma accepts Dean Purvis's proposal and Beau realizes that he is the one that is supposed to be with her? Will Emma play it safe with her perfect life? Or will she risk it all for the first boy she ever really loved? *Spin off between Emma and Beau from the books Running on the Beach at Night & Between Love & Deception*

"One night. That's all I want. I promise I won't expect anything more than what you offer." She murmured, pleadingly and reached back to the zipper. Her dress slipped down and pooled at her feet, exposing her sweet little body to me. Doing my absolute best to look away, I swallowed hard and shook my head. I needed to get her out of here and home in her own damn bed before I changed my fucking mind, plow through that little barrier that was keeping her innocent, and let her learn the hard way. "Damnit, Hart. Put your dress back on. I can't do this. I'm trying my best to stay out of trouble. You are trouble." "Please..." She begged quietly. "I won't be clingy. I won't say anything to anyone. No one will ever know. I promise." As she began to beg me, my eyes lifted to her and my mind began flipping through the excuses I could use to let her down gently. But when I caught a glimpse of her scantily clad body, I knew right then and there I was fucked. Utter perfection. Me being the reckless Burkhalter I was- I threw caution to the wind as soon as I saw flesh. Fuck my parents. Fuck hard work and responsibility. Fuck being the good son I was supposed to be. Tomorrow is another day. A new beginning. Tonight, she's mine. Arrogant and reckless Austin Burkhalter's life has been thrown off the track after being thrown in the drunk tank for the second time in less than a month. In order for him to get his precious lifestyle back, his parents are sending him to live and work on a farm in a small town in Mississippi where he must learn the definition of hard work and responsibility. Everything changes when he is faced with the beautiful and innocent southern belle Elizabeth Hart, the farmer's daughter. From the moment he meets her, he knows things are going downhill for the both of them. After one night of pure lust and pent-up desire, they are both faced with life-altering bittersweet betrayal.
