LOVERS ON CAMERA. BEST FRIENDS BEHIND IT. BUT ONE THING'S CERTAIN: THE KISSING SCENES ARE DEFINITELY NOT SCRIPTED. 25-year-old actors Jaxon Lewis and Ramil Cariño are best friends, famous for their online personalities and great chemistry. When their Agents gave them the biggest opportunity of auditioning for a role in the world's most anticipated Book-to-TV Adaptation called "As Long as You're with Me," things went spiraling down because Jaxon and Ramil got casted for the roles they didn't audition for. Fictional characters Levi and Andres are your clichéd romantic-comedy trope of the nerd falling for the jock in the books -- a gay couple. But at least they're one of the leading roles, right? This is good for their careers. It's no big deal for them -- after all, it's just work. It's not like Jaxon's excited for those kissing scenes anyway -- nope! He's definitely not going to mess them up just to get more retakes. And he definitely isn't crushing on his best friend for a very long time now. Definitely not. ↠ ON-GOING FIRST DRAFT, will contain errors.

Perpetual quitter Vera Kwan thinks she's got it made when her style blog catches the attention of narcissistic actor Carmen Juarez, but after egos ignite a gossip war, Vera has to learn to balance her flighty ambitions and her attraction to Carmen's prickly, gorgeous manager Sharise before her Hollywood dreams fall apart like a cheap polyester blouse. ***** It's not Vera Kwan's fault that she can't hold down a job. A fashion school dropout, she dreams of becoming a famous designer, but the life of a style influencer is more grind than glamour. She just needs one big break, one chance to prove her styles are red carpet worthy. When a snarky post about her celebrity crush Carmen Juarez catches the actor's attention, Vera wins her ticket to stardom. As Carmen's stylist, she sets out to prove that she's more than just pretty clothes and the right filters, and maybe even win the affections of Carmen's aloof manager, Sharise, who she quickly finds herself falling for. After a clever fashion stunt goes viral, Vera is suddenly the most sought-after stylist in Hollywood. She even gets a job offer from Carmen's rival. But her style success may not be getting her any closer to her designer dreams, and secrets are beginning to fray her sense of purpose. If Vera can't figure out what's important enough to see through to the end, even when it seems impossible, she risks losing both the professional relationship that made her and the romantic relationship that might be the one thing that matters to her as much as fashion. ***** Complete at 100k words. *featured on Wattpad's A Latte Love, #WrittenWithPride, From Our Stars, and In her words #IWD2020 reading lists* Cover by the incredible @AnnaofthePond
