Normally the only fear in winning an Oscar for Best Actress is the worry that you would trip on your dress on the way to accepting it, but this year, a new worry has been added. Is it sheer bad luck or is it a dangerous coincidence that the last two winners have tragically died?
With similar looks to the beautiful Cara Ferrari, an Oscar nominee, Vivi Angelino, the 32-year-old youthful co-owner of a Boston-based fledgling Security and Private Investigation firm, the "Guardian Angelinos," senses a tremendous opportunity. With a contact from cousin Nicki, Vivi courageously offers to be a body double for Cara. Never mind that this sneaker wearing skateboarding diva of the boards will have to wear heels. If she could protect Cara, and potentially capture the Red Carpet Killer, she could really move her family run business into the big leagues.
That is, of course, if the man Vivi loves to tease by constantly messing up his title, FBI Assistant Special Agent in Charge Colton Lang, doesn't nix the deal on her. Despite the odd attraction Vivi feels for Colt and is quick to tamp down, Vivi knows Lang is strictly a straight arrow and will only play by the rules. For his part, Lang has to prove himself for a promotion to a new job on the west coast; one he wants so it can take him away from the painful memories of his past - especially in the situation when he didn't play by the rules.
Caught between financial ruin by the heavy "no disclosure" rules set by Cara and the growing sense that there is more to the story than the false front that Cara had put out to the world, Vivi ends up in a very dangerous and life threatening situation. Her only hope is to alert Lang by saying his title correctly. Will he even notice?

Private investigator Vivi Angelino loves living life on the
edge, but stepping into the shoes of a movie starlet to bait
a serial killer isn't just a thrill . . . it's a ticket to
the big time for her fledgling security firm. That is, as
long as a certain risk-averse FBI agent stays out of her
way-and out of her fantasies.
Assistant Special Agent in Charge Colton Lang isn't above
using his well-worn rulebook to stop Vivi's latest walk on
the wild side. But when they learn her client is involved in
something far more insidious than bad acting, Vivi and Colt
must work together despite the electrifying attraction
arcing between them. For each new clue is bringing them
closer to a high-profile crime with a dark and deadly truth
at its core . . . and a cold, calculating murderer with
nothing left to lose.
