Still, Lainey knows that falling for Ben would be disastrous. Wishing for her happy ever after with a man who is in love with someone else would only lead to more heartbreak.

Next thing I knew, he had me pinned to the bed using his arms and legs. I could feel his manhood pressing against the inside of my thigh. There was no way I was going to fight this feeling. "Don't expect me to play nice, Jasmin. I'm going to make sure you never forget this night." I smiled back sweetly, knowing I had just met The Sex. There is only one rule Jasmin Burnett has always applied to her adult life. Find a man who can cook and clean, a man who is good in bed, and a man who makes loads of money.... And make sure they never meet. Of course, the rules are always subject to change.

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.
