Bleeding Hart

The city of angels is hiding a few demons.
At San Diego Comic-Con, Chris Hart wants nothing more than to meet his favorite actress, Marie LeBeau. But someone else wants her dead.
When Chris manages to stop an attack from what can only be described as a ninja, Marie finds herself impressed by his martial arts prowess and offers Chris a job on her personal security team. Little does he know she has ulterior motives for wanting him close and may not be the person he thinks she is.
Everything changes when people associated with Marie start turning up decapitated. While Chris finds himself more vulnerable to Marie’s charms than ever before, he realizes that being with her may not only put his life at risk, but his very humanity.
Bleeding Hart is a biting look at Hollywood that combines the quirkiness of Grady Hendrix with the hardboiled pulp of Mickey Spillane.
