Unscripted

Description

There’s always a sort of symmetry to the universe, something that Faith Sinclair, uncompromising, take-no-prisoners executive producer of the hit TV show Modern Women, found out the hard way one day when, in a fit of pique, she grabbed her meddling boss by the . . . you know (just to make a point, you understand), and the next thing she knew, she was out on her . . . you know.

But Faith refuses to give up just yet. Without her at the helm, Modern Women’s ratings hit the skids, which is unacceptable. Faith decides to do the unthinkable: track down Alex, their former white-hot male lead who had walked away from TV at the peak of his popularity to be a movie star. If Faith can convince Alex to return, she’ll save the show and get her job back. All she has to do is keep her stupid crush on Alex under control.

There’s one unexpected problem, though: Alex’s film career fizzled, and now he’s hiding out, “studying his craft” at a small community college miles away from Hollywood. Faith can’t get anywhere near him, thanks to Alex’s unapologetic watchdog, Mason Mitchell, head of theater and film studies, who’s adamant about making sure Alex retains his privacy.

Mason is stubborn, but so is Faith. Mason is also hotter than the desert campus in August, but Faith doesn’t care about that . . . much. Her goal is to do an end run around the infuriating professor to get to Alex.

Then Mason makes her an unconventional offer—a job teaching screenwriting. Will Faith accept because it will get her access to Alex . . . or get her closer to Mason?

None of this was part of the plan, but Faith is about to find out that life can be pretty exciting when it’s unscripted.
