staring at her. At her look, he perched his sunglasses on top of his head. “So, who are you?”
    Yeah, he really didn’t remember her. Why should he? She was a nobody. She wondered if she would have remembered him if he hadn’t become Mr. Superstar.
    Yes, she would. He was totally unforgettable. And he knew how cool he was. He’d gotten cocky. A lot of the famous actors did. Too bad.
    She hit send on her phone as she answered him. “Uh…Maddie.”
    “Right. Maddie-not-Madalyn-Bauers. Got that. I meant what are you doing on the show? I don’t remember seeing you on the set in L.A.” He scanned her bedraggled body. “And, believe me, I would have noticed.”
    “Oh.” Maddie blushed. Cocky, but still had the charm. Self-conscious, she tugged on her tank top. “No, I wasn’t in L.A. I’m taking over as first camera assistant.”
    “Cool. You’re much better-looking than Carson. What happened to him anyway?”
    Sam answered for her. “Carson got here a day before shoot started and broke his tailbone trying to do some fancy dirt biking.”
    “Ha, that totally sounds like him,” Fudge said. “That crazy motherfucker.”
    Sam made eye contact with Maddie in his rearview mirror. “Maddie’s supposed to be an amazing camera assistant. Adam requested her. Had nothing but good things to say.”
    She felt warm from the praise. “I’m right here, you know. Don’t need to talk about me in third person.” She reluctantly slid her own sunglasses off and faced Micah. “I’m Adam’s usual assistant. He has to say nice things about me.”
    She studied him. In the years since she’d last seen him he’d changed his look often, depending on his film roles. Now he sported the scruffy Micah look, sexy stubble covered his face and his hair was longer and unkempt in a totally hot way. Her fingers curled into the upholstery as she imagined how they’d feel running through his tresses.
    Micah furrowed his brow. “How come you weren’t here from the beginning?”
    “I had some personal issues with…someone…working on the show.” In this business, you couldn’t bad mouth anyone without serious repercussions.
    He leaned toward her. “Did those issues resolve somehow?”
    Her body turned on from his close proximity. Stupid female hormones. Beaumont seemed much less of a problem now that she had Micah to cope with. She simultaneously wanted to scoot nearer and shrink into the car’s interior. She did neither. “I’m learning to deal.”
    He looked at her carefully, then reached over and casually pushed aside a stray hair from her face, his finger brushing her cheek. “Hmm, let me know how that goes.”
    Maddie shivered under his touch. “Thanks,” she managed to whisper. Was he hitting on her? Maybe he hit on all girls the minute he met them. He did have a reputation. Or maybe she was just wishing he was hitting on her.
    No, she wasn’t wishing he was hitting on her. That would be trouble. He was just so attractive it was hard to remember why she wasn’t interested in him.
    She needed a distraction. “What exactly is this movie about, anyway? I didn’t get a chance to read a script.”
    “It’s great,” Sam said. “You’ll love it. It’s a heist movie—”
    “It’s a romance,” Micah interrupted, his eyes never leaving Maddie. “There’s kissing.”
    “And a romance,” Sam conceded. “A bunch of friends take on a small mountain gambling town then have to hide in the great outdoors.”
    Fudge looked up from whatever he was doing on his iPhone. “It’s like The Town meets the West.”
    Micah shook his head. “It is not.”
    “Whatever, dude.” Fudge pulled a set of earphones out of his jeans pockets and stuck them into his phone. “I’m gonna nap. Is that cool?”
    “I’m sure we’ll be safe on the ride from DIA to Golden.” Micah bent his leg and Maddie realized if she relaxed just a little, their knees would bump. “Besides, the windows are tinted. No one can see in.”
    She
