The dramatic life of Jonah Penrose

a novel
Robyn Green
Book - 2025

"After winning his first Olivier Award for his performance in the West End's top musical, The Wooden Horse, fabulously talented Jonah Penrose is the new shining star of London's theatre scene. But Jonah's success can't erase the pain of a recent breakup, fix his self-doubt, or remedy his father's ailing mind. Enter stage right, Dexter Ellis: the West End's golden boy, the newest cast member of The Wooden Horse, and someone Jonah finds to be intolerable and arrogant. Everything about Dexter is infuriatingly perfect, from his dashing looks and casual but cutting notes on Jonah's performances to his obnoxious sweaters that cost more than Jonah's rent. Worse yet, while Dexter was supposed to play Jonah's enemy in the show, his role switches to his love interest after a bout of illness temporarily sidelines half of the cast. Jonah's plan to stay as far away from Dexter as possible is thwarted when fans mistake their on-stage tension for romantic chemistry and tickets start selling like hotcakes. With fans desperate to catch a glimpse of the West End's 'hottest couple,' the show's producer pushes the co-stars to put on a show of their own and convince the world that they are in love. While pretending to be head over heels for his co-star is the last thing Jonah wants, he reluctantly agrees. Yet as he gets to know Dexter better, he learns there's more to him than meets the eye. As the lines between fiction and reality begin to blur and Jonah's feelings become less of an act,he must decide if he's willing to entrust his heart to someone again"--
