On Screen & Off Again

A romantic will-they-won’t-they debut with a Hollywood twist, for fans of Love & Other Words and Every Summer After.

When Dax left, Wil swore she’d never forgive him. But now they’re co-stars and each other’s second chance at stardom... and maybe something more.

Seven years ago, childhood sweethearts Wilhelmina Chase and Daxon Avery were on top of the world as the charismatic star and beloved sidekick of a hit kids TV series. But when the show got cancelled, Dax left for college across the country, and they broke up.

Now they’re in their twenties, and their paths have diverged. Wil gets more attention in the tabloids than she does in casting calls, and Dax is about to star in a buzzy new movie that could cement his place on the Hollywood A-list. The one problem? After weeks of searching and auditions, his studio still hasn’t found the right co-star.

Meanwhile, Wil has just been arrested for stealing something from the home of a Hollywood bigwig. She gets to make one call from jail, and Dax’s is the only phone number she can remember.

On a whim, Dax swings Wil an audition for the movie. It’s a long shot, but it soon becomes clear Wil hasn’t lost an ounce of her talent; the years have given her a depth and intensity that Dax (and the casting director) can't look away from. As filming begins, the chemistry on both sides of the camera is stratospheric. But this is Wil’s last chance to reclaim her career; she can’t get distracted. Plus, Dax already left her behind once.

Will their romance be an on-screen hit but an off-screen disaster?
