Enemies on set, lovers off-screen... or so they thought.
Sophia Lane is Hollywood's ice queen-a perfectionist actress with a reputation for delivering award-winning performances and keeping everyone at arm's length. Ethan Cross is her opposite: a charming, easygoing rom-com superstar whose smile alone can light up a room. When they're cast as romantic leads in the year's most anticipated drama, sparks fly-but not the good kind.
Their fiery clashes threaten to derail the production, and the only solution is forced proximity. Sent to an isolated countryside retreat for rehearsals, Sophia and Ethan are pushed to confront not just their differences but the undeniable chemistry simmering between them.
As their on-screen love story takes shape, the lines between acting and reality blur, and their hearts are caught in a script they never expected to follow. But in a world where the spotlight exposes everything, can two people with so much history-and so many secrets-find a happy ending?
"Lights, Camera, Tension" is a heartfelt enemies-to-lovers romance filled with sizzling banter, emotional depth, and the magic of love behind the scenes.
Perfect for fans of slow-burn romance and electric chemistry!

Written in Stone (Heart of Stone: Book 3)
Paradise. The location. The work. The guy. Sophia Palmer has never been happier. After the craziest ten months of her life, she's enjoying the idyllic scenery of Costa Rica with the man of her dreams by her side. Volunteering at a turtle refuge, having endless sex, and relaxing in an infinity pool overlooking the Caribbean Sea -- nothing could possibly burst her bubble. Except maybe some overzealous fans, a slew of hatred on social media, and a viral recording of a past kiss with her famous boyfriend's equally famous best friend. * Euphoria. The fame. The fans. The girl. Ed Stone has been living life on a permanent high. He thought nothing could beat the buzz of singing in an arena full of adoring fans, or hitting number one in the charts, or finding that perfect lyric. Then Sophia Palmer entered his life ten months ago, and everything he thought he knew about happiness changed. No music-induced high can make his heart thump as fast as she does. He used to like the barrier that his stage persona provided, but when he's a squeaky-clean popstar who can do no wrong, his adoring fanbase is quick to vilify anyone who doesn't match up. Including his girlfriend. The solution? It's time for Teddy Stone to show the world a different side of him. * Content warnings: strong sexual content, strong language Sample: This is a sample.

The Corner Store
I fell for a boy with the kindest blue eyes, and a charming dimple. He made me feel loved, and cared for, and most importantly he made me feel safe in his presence. He came right in the middle of a tornadoe and managed to turn it into blue skies. He changed my perspective and gave me hope and strength." I looked at him, and he was smiling, and his eyes were a little glossy. He took my hand and kissed it, a small tear caught in the corner of his beautiful eyes. "I thought, hey, maybe life isn't so bad after all. Maybe I can finally allow myself to love and be loved, and to live life normally. When we went to your party, you told me to wait for you. But then your perverted cousin made me feel super uncomfortable, so I went looking for you, just to be able to feel at peace again. And that's when I saw it." My heart beats skyrocketed, because this was the moment everything changed forever. "Saw what?" Asked Axel. I took a deep breath, and continued.

Back To You
Madison thought she had closed the door on Tayler forever. Two years ago, she walked away, leaving behind the only boy who ever truly knew her-the one who made her feel safe, seen... and ultimately, shattered. She swore she'd never look back. But now, fate has other plans. Thrown back into each other's lives, Madison tells herself she's over him. That what they had is nothing more than a distant memory. But Tayler? He makes forgetting impossible. He's still the same cocky, flirtatious guy who knows exactly how to push her buttons-and pull her back in. Every lingering glance, every teasing remark feels like a dangerous game, and she's not sure she knows the rules anymore. But between them stands more than just unfinished business. New love, tangled emotions, and the unshakable weight of what once was. Madison knows she should keep her distance, but when it comes to Tayler, that's always been easier said than done. "You still look at me the same way," she muttered, hating the way her voice wavered. Tayler smirked, stepping closer, his voice low and daring. "And you still get flustered when I do." She should leave. She should mean it this time. But what if their story was never meant to end-just to begin again?Complete
