Once upon a time, Mila Martinique was the most famous rising star in Hollywood. Playing the role of a beloved real-life princess in a blockbuster smash about the royal family drama, Mila was known for her killer figure, her comedic timing - and her relationship with Erik Brear, her dashing and princely co-star. Ten years later, Mila is known mostly for being a mum, being overweight, and running the best community theatre in Queensland, Australia. She has tried to put her former life (and her former lover) behind her; but when her theatre is threatened, an offer from a movie studio tempts her back into the limelight - and back into contact with Erik. But Mila isn't 19 - or a size 6 - anymore. As she navigates the fickle world of the film industry, she'll need all her wit and all her grit to survive working with Erik, hold onto her heart, and keep her sense of humour. A romantic comedy for everyone who doesn't fit the Hollywood mould.

[Featured by Wattpad] Alex Cabrera is new to Shadow Wood, Pennsylvania. Not that he minded moving from the Sunshine State when there's nothing there to hold him down. Not even the clingy ex-boyfriend who won't stop calling him repeatedly throughout the day. To Alex, Shadow Wood reminds him of a living Prozac commercial. Strangers smile and wave from their yards, while children blissfully run and play. The town is unmistakably beautiful, a vibrant, historical community, with a river that runs through its center. If that's not enough to catch Alex's attention, there's also the four beautiful strangers he meets at a bonfire, who will force him to question his worldview. Little does he know, a connection he shares with one of them, will alter his life forever. But not everything in Shadow Wood is as blissful and rose colored as it appears. A series of storms brewing on the horizon seem to portend something sinister is coming. And though no one wants to admit it, Alex senses it will be a battle of life or death; good versus evil. And if he's right, what price must be paid? What sacrifice must be endured? What losses must be suffered?
