The plan was simple... Move to Los Angeles. Check. Join an acting group. Check. Be wary of distractions... Land a leading role... Cassie Mitchell always wanted to see herself on the big screen, but after five years dedicated to chasing that dream, she's not sure she can make it. When A-list actor Emmett Davis, with his tousled hair and teasing winks, dines in her section at the diner, their flirtatious encounter sparks curiosity in Cassie, but she never expects to see him again. That is, until she accepts a job at January Studios and runs into Emmett, who happens to be the movie's leading actor, during her first day on set. Emmett has been an actor his whole life, but he starts to question it when he meets Cassie. She's sassy, supportive, and suddenly he can't go a day without thinking of her. And because of her, Emmett's deciding if now is the right time to defy his father's legacy and chase his own dreams. Despite Cassie's determination to avoid men in the industry, she and Emmett quickly become friends while attempting to deny their ever-growing chemistry. And even though their relationship is forbidden and could cause Cassie to lose her job, they can't seem to stay away from one another.
