Romance Contemporary
Passion, power, sex, betrayal, and seduction–it’s all in a
day’s work. Having escaped to Hollywood after catching her boyfriend
in bed with her best friend, London stage actress Kate
McPhee is offered a gig on the popular daytime television
series Live for Tomorrow. As Devon Merrick–police
detective, car crash victim, and love interest for at
least two men–she knows all the secrets and sins pulsating
in fictional Hope Canyon. But the real drama is off the
set, where the soap is indeed slippery. Enter Meredith Contini, the show’s power-wielding diva.
Meredith has two rules: Know your place and Stay in it.
Kate broke both on day one, which is why she suddenly
found her character switching sexual orientation. That
brilliant solution came from Daphne del Valle, the show’s
barking-mad obsessive/compulsive producer, who drives
herself and her actors to enthrall the audience. (“Sell
the hurt. Sell the rage. Sell the hunger. Sell the
looooooove.”) As gay detective Devon Merrick, Kate is a smash. The show
is a hit. Kate’s private life seems to be becoming
something of a drama itself. Especially since everybody
thinks she really is gay, which is a problem since she
thinks the best cure for her real-life broken heart is to
get a man into her bed. But who? Kirk, her sexy, tan, and
talented leading man, is boffing Meredith. There’s Matt,
the magician who makes her tea, but will her fourteen-hour
days keep them from the promise of tangled sheets? And
there’s Wyatt, her handsome new co-star, who Kate believes
is the great love of her life. Except that he’s married,
and his
wife, Christine, is Kate’s new makeup artist and the one
sane friend she has made in Los Angeles. As the line between television and reality blurs with
increasing speed, tension tightens and passions surge.
Does Wyatt want Kate as much as she wants him? Will
Christine find out? Will Kate lose her new friend? Will
Meredith finally have Kate fired? Will Kate ever get
to “come out” as heterosexual on the set? Are her steamy
kiss scenes fated to be only with beautiful women?
