Olivia knows success.

Since the age of five, she has accepted the demands of stardom, with her famous parents pulling the strings. Now an adult, Olivia struggles to create her own destiny, only to find that she’s not equipped to make the best life decisions. Each path she takes leads her back to the world she would rather forget.

Until Martin.

Big, steady Martin, a rising star in film directing. No matter where life takes Olivia, where she stumbles, Martin is there to pick her up. The one thing he won’t do is take advantage, which Olivia desperately wants. Instead, he helps her a final time and sends her away to build the life she seems ready to embrace—a life that doesn’t include him.

Eight years later, tough, man-eating, triumphant Olivia has taken the world by storm. No one crosses her. No one dares to question her ultimate authority. Her billion-dollar company thrives, and her budding non-profit sector promises to help countless women. Olivia has the Midas touch. What she needs now is a new challenge…and Martin’s upcoming movie offers just that. Her reentry into the world of film brings more hurdles than Olivia expects, including feelings for Martin smoldering just below the surface.

This time, she won’t walk away.

Meet Abby.

Desperate to get her magazine job back and willing to do just about anything. Even use her social-media influence to find a husband! Her soulmate? Probably not. Until…

Meet Max.

He’s sworn off social media, especially “influencers.” Thank goodness Abby is just a customer in his Savannah coffee shop. A beautiful, sexy, slightly awkward customer. After one hot kiss, Max can’t get enough. Until his shop turns into a Chippendales revue, a parade of men vying for space and attention.
