Draped in an oversized black leather jacket over a turtleneck, paired with black jeans and boots, Skyler White's appearance is unmistakable-short hair, sharp edges, and an aura of effortless cool. Being mistaken for a guy is nothing new to Skyler. With her cropped hair, androgynous figure, and distinct style, she's grown used to the assumptions. But now, in her final year of college she has only one focus: to write a movie that will launch her career as an acclaimed scriptwriter. When an opportunity arises to work for Fredward Montgomery-the powerful owner of one of the country's largest movie studios-she seizes it, even if it means her gender is mistakenly assumed. Fredward Montgomery is a man who has it all-looks, wealth, influence, and a thriving entertainment empire.

Bonds are formed, emotions unravel, and soon, the lines blur between ambition and an unexpected love story. Can the tomboyish girl in leather break through the billionaire's guarded heart? And when the truth comes to light, will love be enough to rewrite their story?
