Behind The Scenes (The Backlot Series)

Nothing says true love like a well-rehearsed lie.

Stella Rhodes can sell anyone’s story—except her own. As one of Hollywood’s rising talent agents, she’s built her career convincing stars to shine brighter. But when her Southern mother announces a surprise visit and expects to meet Stella’s boyfriend, panic sets in. Stella doesn’t have one. What she does have? A best friend willing to play the part.

Brandon Grimaldi’s spent his career risking everything as a stuntman. But pretending to adore Stella? That’s the one role he never saw coming. Hand-holding turns into heat. Fake kisses turn into sparks. And soon, neither of them can tell where the script ends and real feelings begin.

In a city where everything is staged, what happens when the love story isn’t?

Perfect for readers who love:

* Friends-to-lovers slow burns that explode into sizzling chemistry
* Fake dating + forced proximity that spiral out of control
* Hollywood backdrops, movie sets, and glamorous chaos
