*~*Love Note: Damon to Rose – Showmance by L.H. Cosway*~*
Damon Atwood was Hollywood’s golden boy. Having won an Oscar at the tender age of thirteen, he had the life many could only dream about. But his success came at a price, and after a short but fruitful film career, he chose to live a life of obscurity on a remote Scottish island. Almost a decade later he’s finally ready to make his return, starting with a lead role in a musical on London’s West End.
As a choreographer’s assistant, Rose Taylor has always faded into the background. She watches shows come to life from the side lines, but has never craved the attention of stardom. When rumours begin circulating of Damon’s involvement in her latest gig, she doesn’t predict how she will be thrust into the limelight, nor how the mysterious and strangely introverted man will need her to teach him how to be a star again.
Rose knows that show crushes don’t last. Actors fall for each other during the intensity of a production, often losing themselves in their roles. These kinds of affairs burn bright and then they fade. The question is, should Rose let herself shine with Damon, or guard her heart from being broken after the final curtain call?
OMG…I forgot how perfect Damon was!

My dearest Rose,
Your true beauty is something only I can see
It’s the freckle on your left cheek
It’s the way you frown when you’re concentrating
It’s the kindness in your eyes when you smile
It’s the slide of your fingers when you take my hand to dance
It’s the elegant curve of your spine when you move to the music
It’s the way my lungs fill with air when you look at me across a crowded room
It’s the insecure tilt to your mouth when you’re feeling shy
It’s how defenceless I feel when you rest your head against my chest
Your trust and love for me are the only perfect things I know
On this Valentine’s day I hope this note will suffice
To let you know how much you mean to me
Because I’m the luckiest man in the entire world to have you as my wife.
Yours forever and always,
Damon.
