Caylee Preston is the daughter of Hollywood royalty.

Her grandfather built an empire, and her father solidified its power. But now her father is dead, and she has inherited half of her father’s production company. The other half? Gone to her brother, Hunter, whose foolish ways are bound to destroy it. With her family’s legacy on the line and a surprise mess from her late father, Caylee turns to the person she least expected to ask for help: her father’s greatest rival.

Jonathan Carter forged his media empire from nothing.

Beginning as a lowly stagehand, he’s done unspeakable things to get where he is today, but he’s still second best. The one thing preventing him from reaching the top? His rival, Paul Preston. Fortunately for him, Paul’s death has sparked a war between his two heirs, and he plans to collect on a debt he’s owed. To do so, he sets his sights on Paul’s daughter, Caylee, who is smarter than he anticipated.

Together Jonathan and Caylee will need to forge an alliance in front of and behind the cameras of Hollywood …

But may form something stronger in the process.

Grant Oliver fell in love with Lucy Driscoll nearly two decades ago …

But as a married father-to-be, he couldn’t have her.

A year and a half after taking over for Jonathan Carter at Rubicon Pictures, Grant has only had one taste of his beloved Lucy: a passionate kiss on her wedding day to another man. Yet, he wants more and has decided he’s done waiting. With his daughter finally eighteen years old, and no custody battle to be had, Grant leaves his wife for the woman he’s always loved.

As a new mom feeling trapped in a marriage she was tricked into, Lucy finds herself fed up with her disappointing husband and accepts Grant’s offer of marriage. To all, it looks awful … especially when Grant directly caused the heart attack that killed her father. But Lucy’s professional drive has left her with no choice but to trade up for a better partner.

Grant sees Lucy’s brilliance and wants to put it to use.

Lucy sees Grant’s ambition and vows to help him succeed.

The consequences of their actions will come to either destroy them, or elevate them as the most powerful couple in Los Angeles.
