Overview

RIVER
One mistake. One viral video. One ruined career.
That's all it takes for the world to turn on Hollywood's former golden boy.
Now I'm hiding out in a rundown bungalow on Dreamwood Isle, praying the paparazzi won't track me down.
I need safety. Solitude. Anonymity.
What I get instead is the son of my bungalow landlord, charming, adorably clumsy - and the one man alive who doesn't care that I'm River Wolfe, fallen angel of the big screen.
Which only makes me want him more.
And that is far more dangerous than any scandal.

FINN
I'm fresh off a breakup and barely keeping it together. My family's Fair is struggling to stay afloat.
The last thing I need is a movie star crash-landing in my family's bungalow.
I hardly watch films. Don't care about red carpets. To me, River is just the insufferable, handsome guy turning my quiet island life upside-down.
But the more time we spend together, the more I see the man behind the headlines. Behind the scandal.
A man who just tried to do the right thing - and is now being crucified for it.
Between meddling sisters, paparazzi, and the rest of the world, I start to wonder if the safest place for both of us is right here with each other.
Or is this exactly the kind of situation that's doomed to break my heart all over again?
