The best love stories happen off-screen…
It’s a perfect beginning: upbeat screenwriting student is mentored by genius-but-grumpy indie filmmaker, they argue over movies and share one secret kiss. But then – right after savagely critiquing her screenplay – Xavier Duval skips town and completely ghosts Sutton Spencer.
Fast-forward ten years, Sutton is now a movie exec overseeing Xavier’s new sci-fi blockbuster, which has gone way over budget. This time, she’s in charge. And Xavier? He’s as talented, gruff and hot as she remembers – and still convinced there are no happy-ever-afters in real life.
Seeing the way Sutton combines sweetness with nerves of steel to get his production back on track, Xavier almost wishes he believed in romance.
