Lights, camera… chemistry.

Sophia Ford’s star has never burned brighter. The Oscar-winning actress is making her producing debut with a script so raw and original it could redefine her career. With Wonderland Studios backing her passion project, she should be celebrating—not fighting an unexpected attraction to Grant Hall, the brilliantly handsome head honcho whose box-office magic is matched only by his infamous “no dating” policy. 

Grant Hall has spent years avoiding complications, both personal and professional. As a single dad, his world revolves around his six-year-old daughter, Hazel, and his high-stakes career. He doesn’t have time for love—or for Sophia, the dazzling actress who’s suddenly a much bigger part of his life than he ever intended. 

When a mishap at Sophia’s house leads her to move into his guesthouse, he discovers the woman behind the glamour—a whip-smart, refreshingly real woman who’s impossible to ignore.

With paparazzi circling, studio politics threatening her credibility, and heart-stopping chemistry impossible to ignore, Sophia and Grant must decide if the roles they’ve played their entire lives are worth sacrificing for a love neither of them saw coming. 

Featuring sizzling chemistry, swoony single-dad moments, and a behind-the-scenes look at Hollywood’s high stakes, Center Stage delivers a heartfelt romance about ambition, trust, and finding the courage to bet on forever.

Book 1 in The Backlot Series

In Hollywood, you never get a second chance to make a first impression... unless your love story is far from over.

Blair Bennett has it all. As one of LA’s top talent agents, she’s made a name for herself by being laser-focused on her career. But when she sets her sights on signing rising starlet Sophia Ford, Blair’s carefully constructed world starts to unravel when she discovers Sophia’s brother is none other than Wyatt Bradford—the man who broke Blair’s heart in high school.

Wyatt, now a successful corporate attorney, has always followed his family’s path. But when he crosses paths with Blair, old feelings resurface, and their professional lives collide. Wyatt is determined not to let the past slip away again, but Blair isn’t so easily convinced. She’s worked too hard to get where she is—falling for Wyatt again could mean risking everything.

As the tension between them heats up, Blair and Wyatt must navigate the demands of Hollywood, career ambition, and the unresolved issues between them. Can they move past their shared history and find a way forward, or will old wounds keep them apart?

Perfect for fans of second-chance romance, Hollywood drama, and workplace love stories.
