Description

Adam Verlain never wants to leave his careful, cloistered world of rare books. The death of his father during a business trip solidified his unwillingness to travel.

But then Casey Blanchard, an American film star, offers her grandfather's very rare and valuable 1865 copy of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" to his university...with one caveat – Adam has to pick it up. Despite his misgivings, he is forced to fly from London to Los Angeles to do so.

Then things go from bad to worse. Casey won't give him the book unless he escorts her to her latest film premier for reasons that seem rather...odd.

Step-by-step, Adam 's sanity is tested as he's brutally styled, gets stoned without knowing it, is mistaken for a famous British actor, winds ups dragged to a far too typically untypical Hollywood party at Casey's ex-boyfriend's house, finds a lonely guard panther has fallen in love with him, is nearly drowned, is hounded by paparazzi, and is shocked to learn the book has actually been stolen. Casey was using him to try and get it back.

Now can Adam escape the spotlight shenanigans long enough to save a true treasure from falling into the wrong hands? And can he keep himself from falling in love with a woman every man dreams of, but who is way beyond his reach, in this zany romantic quest to rescue a priceless classic?
