Off Script

She writes the rules for television's biggest stars.

One night rewrites her own.

And nothing goes according to script.

Kem Phillips is the powerhouse producer behind one of television's highest-rated shows. On screen, she controls every detail. In real life, she keeps love firmly off the schedule.

A discreet one-night stand with the leading man of her latest project feels safe enough. No promises. No complications. No repeats.

Brent McKenzie never planned to be temporary. The night they shared still lingers, and when an emergency sends Kem rushing home to Shreveport, Louisiana, he offers to go with her, stepping into a life she's worked hard to keep separate.

As truths from Kem's past surface and carefully built walls begin to crack, the connection she tried to keep casual refuses to stay contained. Now she must decide whether trusting Brent means losing control, or finally letting her life go off script.

In Hollywood, success follows a formula. Love never does.

Warning: This story contains not-safe-for-prime-time heat, a leading man who proves heroes exist off screen, and a woman discovering that the best love stories are never written in advance.
