Love in the Third Act
About this ebook
Kevin Barkley had every reason to believe he’d be a huge success as a filmmaker when he won his film school’s most prestigious award. But for reasons he doesn’t understand, fate, or what seems to be fate, keeps working against him. Several producing jobs have eluded him, notably a recent offer that was withdrawn at the last minute. To make matters worse, the showrunner has been spreading rumors that Kevin is difficult.
Temporarily unemployed, Kevin is unable to refuse his aunt’s offer to executive produce and direct her latest project, a reality show about senior dating, especially since the money involved is obscene. There’s just one catch: He must agree to hire Hadley Mayhew, his former best friend in college, as his writer and assistant producer. If they are to work together, can his forgive her for revealing his fiancée was cheating on him?
About the author

Barbara has also published 16 cozy mysteries in two series.
She is married to man she met her senior year at college. They have two grown children, eight grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
Now retired, she is a resident of Florida, although she spends her summers in Iowa and Minnesota. She earned her B.A. degree in History from the University of Iowa and her Master’s Degree in History from Drake University.
