Résumé

Lights, camera.attraction! When Tag O'Rourke, struggling actor-slash-barista, meets Jay Warren, son of acting royalty, it's loathing at first sight. Loathing.and lust. Tag's dream is to act, but it's a dream that's crumbling beneath the weight of student debt and his family's financial problems. If his career doesn't take off soon, he's going to have to get a real job. After all, feeding his family is more important than feeding his soul. Luckily, Tag's about to get his big break. Jay never had to dream about acting; he was always destined to follow in his famous mother's footsteps. But fame has its price and a traumatic experience early inJay's career has left him with paralysing stage fright, which is why he sticks to the safety of TV work-and avoids relationships with co-stars at all costs. Unfortunately, Jay's safe world is about to be rocked. After an ill-judged yet mind-blowing night together, Jay and Tag part acrimoniously. So it's a nasty shock when they discover that they've been cast in a two-man play that could launch Tag's career and finally get Jay back onto the stage where he belongs. Sure, it's not ideal, but how bad can working with your arch-nemesis be? All they have to do is survive six weeks rehearsing together and navigate a cast of smarmy festival directors, terrible landladies, and vengeful journalists. Oh, and try not to fall in love before the curtain rises. Break a leg!
