Love on the Byline: A Plays and Players Novel

Blake Dillon isn't exactly living the dream. She longs to follow in her grandfather's footsteps and make a difference in the world as a journalist. Unfortunately, her current job has her paying-off hotel staff for celebrity gossip. Tasked with shadowing a film star for an in-depth profile, Blake sees it as a chance to finally prove her worth. She never expected the interview to reconnect her with her old college crush. Oliver Benjamin agrees to move to Los Angeles to work as the executive assistant to his best friend, a rising star. He hopes it will give him some direction. However, he soon discovers the only difference between being a frat boy and a Hollywood heartthrob is the amount of free stuff and the level of media attention. Ollie spends most of his time putting out fires, leaving little time for anything else. When Blake is sent to chronicle their lives, he finds himself face-to-face with the one that got away. Blake and Ollie are smart enough to recognize the signs-there are enough sparks between them to melt glass-but they agree to put a lid on it until the article is finished. Much easier said than done when they're forced to spend more time together than apart. There's more going on than a simple interview, but they're both professionals. They must resist temptation or risk unraveling both their lives. ¿"Intelligent, witty, exceptionally real, slow burn romance that will stay with you long after you read the last page.
