Bound to Fall
Description
Can a stunt double catch a falling star and not get burned?
As a young rising star, Eddie Crane fell in love with costar Cory, but a car accident-with Eddie at the wheel-ripped Cory out of his life. Now, scarred and guilt-ridden, Eddie tempts fate that a stunt-on or off camera-will go wrong.
Teenaged fantasies about the actor on his wall distracted Arthur Pike from the real-life unrequited love for his best friend and from his dysfunctional family. Now grown and off the farm, Pike is a horse stuntman hired to teach a reluctant Eddie to ride.
Pike is drawn to Eddie's dominant nature despite the sadness clinging to the actor. Eddie let one lover down, but in Pike's submissiveness, he sees the possibility for redemption.

Person
Jaime Samms is a plaid-hearted Canadian who spends the too-long winters writing stories about love between men and the too-short summers digging in the garden. There are dust bunnies in the corners of her house?which she blames on a husky named Kai. There are dishes on the counter?which is clearly because teenagers! There is hot coffee in the pot and the occasional meal to keep her from starving?because her husband is remarkable and patient.
A multi-published author whose work has been translated into French, Italian, and German, Jaime delights in the intricate dance of words that leads her through tales of the lost and broken hearted men she writes about to the love stories that find and mend them.
And when the muse is being stubborn, she also makes pretty things with yarn and fabric scraps because in her world, no heart is too broken to love, and nothing is too worn or tired it can't be upcycled into something beautiful. All it takes is determination and the ability to see life a little bit left of center.
