    In less than a week, Brynn Dawson’s life has been turned
upside down. A chance encounter with a hunky actor turned into a whirlwind
romance as he whisked her from the confines of her small Iowa town to the

certain…complications…and happiness always comes at a price.
     
    At the mercy of the ruthless tabloids and with friends back

he was and eventually they left us alone when they realized they weren’t
getting anything worthwhile.
     
    He wheeled our suitcases out to long-term parking where we
quickly found his black Range Rover. The car was
