"Frustrated with the sad state of her dating life, restaurateur Chloe Anderson penned a single romance novel featuring the man of her dreams. Upon the book's publication, the hero resonated with thousands of women, catapulting the book to the top of the bestsellers list and earning the novel a movie option. Chloe is thrilled a production company wants to bring her movie to the big screen and film it right in her hometown, Stillwater Bay, North Carolina. But when the producer casts Liam Hamilton -- a notorious Hollywood playboy -- for the part of her beloved Ledger, she's appalled. He's just like her unfaithful ex-boyfriend -- and her duplicitous father. How can Liam possibly understand, much less portray, the wonderful character who captured her heart and made her readers swoon? An embarrassing and contentious first meeting does little to allay Chloe's fears about Liam. The man hasn't even read her book! But one thing she knows: she must win him over if she's to influence his role and save the integrity of her movie. Due to the deceitful tabloids and, admittedly, some minor commitment issues, Liam Hamilton's reputation -- and career -- is in jeopardy. On the advice of his manager and best friend, he offers a bargain with the Chloe: if she will appear in public as his steady girlfriend during the making of the movie, he will take her direction on the role of Ledger. Could a little quid pro quo offer a solution to both of their problems? Or will the bargain cause more trouble than either of them could've possibly imagined?"--
