The one thing Lexi Ember knows how to do is survive.
When she sees the universe in the dark eyes of Kai Haruda, she nearly forgets why she came to L.A. A fling quickly becomes more. His tender touch and unconditional love open her in a way she didn’t think existed in this world. The deep bond they form nearly convinces her that true love is real.
But Lexi came to California because of years of determination and an undying belief in a dream. A dream of wealth and security, and a home where her past couldn’t touch her. She may be a naïve, southern girl from Arkansas, but she has a plan. Lexi teaches herself to become a high-caliber Hollywood vixen, ridding herself of all traces of who she was. She risks everything to make a daring play for one of the most powerful men in Hollywood.
Lexi’s risk pays off when she catches the eye of her favorite director, Stanley Stone. Older, experienced, unimaginably wealthy, and dangerous, he’s the one who can give her the security and success she craves. He can protect her. But her love for Kai threatens everything she’s worked for. Snared in her own trap of love and power, can Lexi decide between her heart and her dream?
