'Pure romance magic' Christina Lauren, New York Times bestselling
author of The Unhoneymooners 'Joyful... thoughtful and real'
Jasmine Guillory, New York Times bestselling author What if her
Hollywood job turns into her Hollywood ending? *** Since a crushing
breakup three years ago, Nina Rice has written romance, friends,
her dreams of scriptwriting for TV, and even L.A. proper out of her
life. Instead, she's safely out in the suburbs in her aunt's condo
working her talent agency job from home, managing celebrity email
accounts, and certain that's plenty of writing-and plot-for her
life. But a surprise meeting called by Ari Fox, a young actress on
everyone's radar, stirs up all kinds of feelings Nina thought she'd
deleted for good... Ari is sexy, out and proud, and a serious
control freak, according to Nina's boss. She has her own ideas
about how Nina should handle her emails-and about getting to know
her ghostwriter. When she tells Nina she should be writing again,
Nina suddenly finds it less scary to revisit her abandoned life
than seriously consider that Ari is flirting with her. Between
reconnecting with her old crew and working on a new script, a
relationship with a movie star seems like something she'll
definitely mess up-but what could be more worth the risk? ***

sister. * "Kissing Under the Influence": Two interns in the

notebook. While Reid struggles with the moral dilemma of adopting a
dog to win over someone's heart, Riley tries to make progress with
