Yuma, Arizona – Present Day

Sutton Spencer, once an aspiring screenwriter, is now a movie exec vying for a VP position. She is assigned the task of going to a movie production site in Yuma, where she knows she will run in Xavier Duval, who is the movie’s writer. The movie is over budget and it’s up to Sutton to figure out why and how to cut costs. She arrives amidst a crisis. A producer has run off with funds allocated to the movie. They don’t want the main company to know because they would likely shut down production. With Sutton’s help and Xavier’s input, everyone hopes to finish the film. But will our couple survive being around each other as old desires flicker once more between them?

In Sutton’s eyes, Xavier ghosted her years ago after he criticized her screenplay, and she hasn’t forgiven him. Yet, when she arrives in Yuma, she wonders if he remembers her. Well, he hasn’t forgotten her, but he doesn’t make a big show about it. She soon learns that he did leave her a letter but the person he gave it to never passed it on to her. Thus, LOVE AND OTHER HOLLYWOOD ENDINGS is about redemption and learning to trust one another again. There is no doubt that they still care for each other. Will they act upon those feelings?

While there are numerous characters in this tale, such as the actress playing the main character, we will keep our focus on Sutton and Xavier. Once they get reacquainted, it is only a matter of time before they are alone—and sparks fly hot enough to metamorphically start a fire. Add in that they are trying to save a movie whose success will help further their careers, and then readers understand their motivation for working together. Sutton and Xavier spend the first part of this book circling each other. She learns why he disappeared, which makes her feel ashamed that she ever doubted him. But the years apart have changed them. Then comes the second part and time spent alone. Will it lead to sex? Once the movie production is done in Arizona, can they chart a future together, or will they go their separate ways?

A bit of a different romantic tale that takes place in the world of movie production and sets, don’t miss LOVE AND OTHER HOLLYWOOD ENDINGS.
