Overview
An upbeat production exec is tasked with reining in the cynical director who was her forbidden college heartbreak in this sparkling, sexy contemporary romance. The best love stories happen off-screen... It's a perfect beginning: upbeat screenwriting student is mentored by genius-but-grumpy indie filmmaker, they argue over movies and share one secret kiss. But then comes the gut punch Sutton Spencer didn't expect... Xavier Duval skips town and ghosts her completely, right after savagely critiquing her screenplay. Fast-forward ten years, and Sutton is now a movie exec vying for a VP position. To prove herself, she offers to travel to a remote shoot and oversee Xavier's new sci-fi blockbuster, which has gone way over budget. This time, she's in charge. And Xavier? He's as talented, gruff and hot as she remembers--and still convinced there are no happy-ever-afters in real life. Xavier knows he messed up with Sutton, but he had his reasons. Now, seeing the way she combines sweetness with nerves of steel to get his production back on track, he almost wishes he believed in romance. Instead, they agree to an on-set fling, one that will fade to black when shooting stops. On paper, it's that simple. But life, and love, has a way of going wildly off script... From showing up to glowing up, the characters in Afterglow Books are on the path to leading their best lives and finding sizzling romance along the way. Don't miss any of these other fun titles...

Reviews
""A movie director and his former student reignite their past romance years later in this multidimensional contemporary from Erwin...[she] fully fleshes out her protagonists and makes their past miscommunication as believable as their present rekindling. This is a treat."" --Publishers Weekly ""This fast-paced, second-chance romance is sure to appeal to contemporary romance readers, especially those who also enjoy big-screen romances and perhaps have always hoped for a behind-the-scenes peek at a made-in-Hollywood HEA."" --Library Journal
