An orphaned, small-town, southern girl, held hostage by responsibility and self-doubt.

A Hollywood A-list megastar, on the run from his latest scandal, with everything to lose.

A chance encounter that leads to an unlikely arrangement and epic love affair that will change them both forever.

When his costar and real-life girlfriend is caught cheating on him with her director, A-list hottie Jack Eversea heads to sleepy Butler Cove, South Carolina. He hopes the sultry southern heat in this tiny coastal Lowcountry town will hide him not only from the tabloids and his cheating girlfriend but also his increasingly vapid life and the people who run it. He doesn’t count on meeting Keri Ann Butler.

Keri Ann has relied on herself so long, dealing with her family’s death and keeping up her family’s historic mansion, that beaus don’t figure into her equation—especially with the meager offering of eligible bachelors in Butler Cove. But fate has other plans.

Keri Ann, suddenly face-to-face with the man who played the movie role of her favorite fictional character, finds herself yearning for everything she has previously avoided. And Jack must decide whether this funny, sassy girl is worth changing his life for, before his mistakes catch up to him.
