My fiance has a girl best friend. I hate her and she hates me and she's hated me from the start. My hate grew over time. After some particularly vile things she said, I uninvited her to our wedding. Then Gibson said the wedding wouldn't be happening if she wasn't invited. So I handed him his rings back.

My husband was playing happy families with another woman and her son, to honor a promise to his fallen friend. After I had emergency surgery that he missed because he was with her, it was a wake up call for both of us: I was done and he was sorry. But there was more to this story that I didn't know. I just wasn't sure it mattered.

Irresistible chemistry... forbidden behind the scenes. After a high-profile romance with her last co-star derailed her career, Mackenzie "Mac" Lauren is down to her last chance to prove she can stay professional. Especially since her no-nonsense producer has made it clear: on-set relationships are a hard no, with the risk of being replaced hanging over her head if she steps out of line. But Ryan Moore isn't just her stupidly-hot co-star-he's her best friend. With their storyline together heating up, resisting him is harder than staying in character, especially as their chemistry threatens to blur the line between real life and the roles they play. As their undeniable connection sizzles both on and off camera, Mac faces the ultimate choice: protect her heart and her career by keeping her distance and staying strictly professional, or risk it all for the man she's drawn to in every possible way.

When Sabrina Manning-Somerset reluctantly leaves L.A. to join Ryan Moore's hit drama series, she sees it as her last chance to save a dying career.

He's already in love with someone else, and he makes no secret of how little he wants her on set. When their dislike and distrust threaten to bleed into filming, the director forces them to find common ground. But professionalism soon blurs into something neither of them can control, and life begins to mirror their script in ways that cut too close. Will their story find a happier ending than the one they're acting out-or will Sabrina be left to pick up the pieces alone?
