Blurb:
Sam Miller’s dreams are simple—to give back to the aunt who supported him since his mother's death and to have a family of his own. He focuses on making a success of their catering business Poppy's Pantry, and his close group of friends. However, when Aunt Poppy ends up in the hospital, it's a stranger Sam meets in the corridor who gives him the support he needs.
Rob Taylor is a man with secrets. His life in the public eye has taken its toll, and now he lives with the repercussions. When he finds himself falling for Sam, he knows things are finally going his way.
But just as Sam and Rob find their happiness, another secret threatens to tear them apart.

From The Author:
Hi
everyone, I’m Nic Starr and I’m thrilled to be here to visit with N.J. Nielsen.
Thank you so much for having me.
I
wanted to share with you a little about my current release, More Than a
Superstar. More Than a Superstar is the story of Sam and Rob. It’s a story of
dealing with the challenges life throws in your path and realising what is
important.
Family
and friends are the most important thing for Sam. His dreams are simple—run his
small business, spend time with his friends and take care of his aunt. Sam has
a big heart and lots of love to give.
Rob
lives an entirely different existence in a world very different to Sam’s. It’s
a life that sees him being judged for his actions and hiding himself away. He
unintentionally causes pain to others and his guilt results in him punishing
himself.
Now
I need to let you know that this book deals with secrets. Rob keeps secrets to
protect himself. He keeps secrets to protect Sam. So if you detest secrets in
your stories, this might not be the book for you. J
But secrets are a part of life. We all keep secrets. We don’t want to hurt
those we love, or maybe we don’t want to expose a part of lives that we don’t
think people will understand. For Rob, he wants to be loved for who he is
inside, not the persona that is displayed to the world and he doesn’t want to
be a burden on the man he has grown to love.
I
hope you enjoy Sam and Rob’s story, as they both find their happy ending.

Excerpt:
He wished he knew what Sam
was thinking as he looked wordlessly at him, his expression neutral. But even
as he watched, he saw Sam’s eyes fill with tears that Sam tried valiantly to
hold back.
“Rob, I don’t think I can
do this.”
“Sure,” Rob replied. “I
understand. It’s been a long night, and it’s a lot to take in. I’ll leave, and
we can talk tomorrow.”
“No. You don’t understand.
I mean I don’t think I can do this.” He waved his hand back and forth pointing
to the two of them. “I mean us. I don’t think I can do us.” With his last
words, the tears that had been threatening finally started slipping down his
cheeks.
Rob stood and reached for
Sam, but he held his hands up, almost like warding off an attacker. “Just go,
Rob. Please.”
He stepped back. He didn’t
want to leave. He wanted to stay and plead his case, to make Sam understand. To
let him know that he was really the same Rob he had come to know. He didn’t
want to leave until he was sure he hadn’t lost him. But he knew it wouldn’t do
any good, at least not tonight, but there was always tomorrow.
“I’m sorry, Sam. So very sorry,”
he whispered as he left the room and closed the door behind him.
