A sparkling romance between an ex-actress and her contractor, reminding us that it’s never too late to rewrite our destiny.
Semi-retired actress Marissa Morgan has played many parts in her life. But these days, her primary role is mother of two. Since hitting pause on her career, she’s worked hard to give her kids a normal childhood and shield them from the spotlight. When her ex-husband announces his high-profile engagement and a media storm ensues, Marissa and her kids flee Los Angeles for a summer at her recently inherited Poconos lake house.
The long-vacant house needs major TLC, so Marissa hires a home renovation company. But when the project hits a snag and Marissa finds herself sharing space with the crew, including Jesse, the handsome (and vaguely familiar) foreman, her plans for a drama-free summer hit choppy water. As the summer days pass, Marissa starts centering her own needs for the first time in years―and that includes giving in to her mounting attraction to Jesse. Soon, she questions if their fling could become something more.
After an unexpected career opportunity falls into Marissa’s lap, it feels like the stars have finally aligned. But when new complications arise, Marissa and Jesse wonder how they’ll fit into each other’s future. Can the two of them chart a new course together, or is it too late to rewrite the script for a happily ever after?

Booklist review, September 2026:
“Dual narrators [Mia] Hutchinson-Shaw and [Evan] Sibley deliver heartfelt performances in this touching contemporary romance. Hutchinson-Shaw is especially easy to listen to as she convincingly portrays Marissa Morgan… Sibley delivers a brooding performance as Jesse, whose lingering childhood crush on Marissa adds to their strong chemistry. The result is a sweet, emotional journey that will charm fans of Annabel Monaghan and Carley Fortune.”
Critic Reviews
"Lindsay Hameroff is, full stop, one of the funniest, sharpest writers in romance. But in her newest book, Rewrite the Stars, we also get to see the depth of her writing on motherhood and fighting for what we deserve. I loved it." ―Ali Rosen, bestselling author of Unlikely Story
"In Rewrite the Stars, Lindsay Hameroff accomplishes a rare feat. She perfectly balances the 'rom' and 'com' in a romantic comedy! I genuinely laughed so many times while reading this book, and I swooned too! When I wasn't laughing or swooning, I was probably crying because Lindsay also sprinkles in just the right amount of emotional moments. Add in a beautiful summer lake house backdrop, the nostalgic yearning of first love, and a sexy handyman, and I was hooked. This book has it all, and I can picture it happily riding along in everyone's beach bags this season." ―Laurie Gilmore, New York Times bestselling author of the Dream Harbor series
"Rewrite the Stars is such a sweet, sexy, emotionally satisfying story. It pairs laughter and very real, well represented, life challenges together in a way that sticks with the reader long after they close the book." ―Sophie Sullivan, award winning author of Ten Rules for Faking It
"Rewrite the Stars is enchanting. Hameroff has penned a beautiful love letter to every single mom who feels like the weight of the world is on their shoulders. It’s for all who have put their heart on a shelf, believing that any chance at love already passed them by. Marissa and Jesse’s chemistry absolutely glows. A perfect cozy read for an evening in an Adirondack chair under a sparkly night sky."
―Andie Burke
"The romance in Hameroff’s latest novel lives not only between its characters, but also in the hazy summer nights she captures so beautifully and achingly on every page. A summer romance with enough heat to linger long after the seasons turn." ―Paige Harbison, author of Destination Funeral
"Is there anything better than a childhood crush showing up years later, only she doesn’t recognize the boy who’s been carrying a torch for her ever since? I don’t think so! Rewrite the Stars is packed with the nostalgia of summers by the lake, undeniable chemistry, and the kind of emotional depth that sneaks up on you. Lindsay Hameroff writes with so much humor and heart about second chances and the messy complications of being both a single mother and a single woman who’s learning―maybe for the first time―to put herself at the center of her own story. This one had me smiling from the first page to the last." ―Ali Brady, USA Today bestselling author of Battle of the Bookstores
