Hollywood film producer Kate Nyland has it all, including her gorgeous movie star girlfriend, Hannah Corrant. Amid the excitement of shooting multimillion-dollar movies and being photographed by the ever-present paparazzi out to get a glimpse of Hannah, Kate is reminded continually that her life couldn't be better. That is, until she arrives in Florida to begin shooting her next film. There she meets Dawn Brock, a beautiful, deeply spiritual artist, who sets off sparks that Kate cannot allow to ignite. But just how can she quell the attraction that burns so intensely and the growing connection that seems impossibly unavoidable? And what will happen when Hannah arrives in town for the movie shoot? From behind-the-scenes rendezvous to center-stage passions, Kate discovers that love on location doesn't always follow the script.
