If only love came with a safety net…

Psychology professor Bel Cutler is taking on an ambitious project about love to launch her career even though personally she's a big, fat failure on the subject. Her first order of business: find a photographer to capture the different states of love. But the only one willing to work within her budget does funny things to her insides and the last man she’d ever stake her future on… let alone trust with her heart.

Struggling photographer, Jimmy Callahan knows trouble when he sees it. Which is why he should run the other way. Bel Cutler's just the kind of straight-laced woman he likes to unravel. Old Jimmy would offer to teach the professor a thing or two about love, or better yet, lust. But Responsible Jimmy needs to fix his bad boy reputation…and fast. He’s in the middle of a nasty custody battle, so keeping his hands off her is imperative. Yet, the woman gets into his head—and heart.

Love doesn't come with a safety net, and the more time they spend together, the more they risk Bel’s career and Jimmy’s chances of saving his niece.

Because life’s too short to be appropriate…

On the verge of losing the Malibu home she inherited from her great-aunt, spunky Addi Dekker is failing hard to show her family she can make it as a writer. If she doesn’t want to give up her dream and go back to the soul-sucking job she happily left behind, Addi has to swallow her dislike of Hollywood and rent her bungalow out to the sexy-as-hell film producer who stole from her.

But, she has a plan (shhhh!) she'll stay out of the camera's eye and keep living there, too. It was time for Tinseltown to pay up after what they did to her sister and her own dreams.

Roque Gallagher is pouring his heart and savings into his first independent film to make the industry acknowledge him for his talent and not just his family name. Addi’s home is perfect for the shoot, but she’s far too tempting. He’s never been able to handle work and a relationship, and this is the film of a lifetime. Between a shrinking budget and his director quitting, the last thing he needs is a sexy-as-sin tease like Addi, especially when he can't shake the feeling she's hiding something.

What do you do when you're not ready for love, but love is ready for you?

Hollywood screenwriter Samantha Dekker spent the last year picking up the pieces after her husband's suicide. Along with grief, guilt, and tabloid hell, she's had to watch helplessly as the film industry slammed its doors in her face. Now Sam has the rarest of Hollywood opportunities—a second chance…working with the one man she swore never to see again. A man too sexy for her own good and one who seems to really see her in a way nobody ever has before...a tempting combination.

Sexy A-lister Gage Cutler knows that Sam blamed him for his part in her husband's death. Still, Sam is the one woman he can never forget. All he wants is a second chance of his own—to prove he's not the player she remembers. And Malibu is the perfect place to show her paradise if he can convince his nosey friends and family that he can do it without their well-meaning help.

The more time they spend together, the harder they fall, but someone is watching Sam and Gage's steamy off-screen romance with dangerous intentions, proving romance in Tinseltown may just only be for the big screen.
