When Hollywood heartthrob Jared Stone unexpectedly agrees to star in a student indie film-for free-no one knows why. Least of all Helena Matthews, an aspiring writer who never saw herself as anything special. Tasked with helping select the script, she never intended for her own forgotten story to land in Jared's hands... or for him to insist on making it into a movie.
As filming begins, Helena finds herself drawn into Jared's world-one filled with flashing cameras, relentless media, and a man who is far more complicated than his charming public persona suggests. But as the lines between script and reality blur, secrets unravel, and unexpected chemistry ignites, Helena must face the truth: Is this just a fleeting Hollywood fairytale, or is Jared hiding a reason far deeper than anyone realizes?
A romantic comedy with a touch of drama, this story is about love, self-discovery, and the unexpected ways our dreams find us-if we're brave enough to chase them.

He Has Me
Audrey is an up and coming journalist who is trying to be taken seriously in the news business. However, one wild night out with friends lands her in the arms of Brandon Thomas, a fairly well-known near celebrity who is gaining star power with every movie he is in. When he discovers who he has shared a night with, he's livid, and thinks she slept with him for a story. Audrey finds him arrogant, and is mortified that she might not be taken seriously by her counterparts if they find out about her between the sheets romp with the hottie of the week. She's known plenty of women making their way to the top from bed to bed, and has always been determined not to be one of them. Finally, they part ways with the insistence that neither ever speak of what has occurred between them. But each minute apart seems to be torturous for both, as they recall in vivid detail the way they touched and connected with one another which leads to growing desperation to see one another again. Neither is ready to admit that they have real feelings for each other. Finally they can bear it no more and they plan an encounter, just to get it out of their system. Unfortunately, this only seems to make things more potent and intense between them. They have no choice but to give romance a chance, but will the risk they take prove to be the unraveling of Audrey's future?
