~A Love Story~

Hollywood Hearts ~ 1

When elite public relations strategist Isla Ryder accepts a career-defining opportunity to rebrand Hollywood’s most notorious bad boy, Roman Lysander, she expects a challenge—but not the earth-shattering chemistry that ignites between them from the beginning.

Isla has built her reputation on control, strategy, and keeping her distance. Roman has perfected the art of living up to his scandalous reputation while hiding his true self behind the glittering façade. But when their professional arrangement becomes intensely personal, both discover that some connections cannot be managed or manufactured.

With a multi-million-dollar film project hanging in the balance, powerful Hollywood dynasties at war, and secrets that could destroy everything they’ve worked for, Isla and Roman must decide if what’s burning between them is worth risking their carefully constructed worlds. Because in a city built on illusions, the most dangerous gamble isn’t with their careers—it’s with their hearts.

Sometimes the best strategy is simply telling the truth. But in Hollywood, the truth can be the most dangerous weapon of all.

Katherine’s quotes

"You know what they say about air and water when it comes to fire, don’t you?” she asks.
Now, I’m curious. She hasn’t spoken for the last ten minutes of the drive. “What?”
“Too much air blows out the fire. Too much water destroys it.”
I nod trying to determine what she’s really comparing us to. “The idea would be to keep the flame going, right. For years?” She nods. “Like a relationship. Like a marriage.” She cringes at the word marriage. Noted. “So you need the air—to stay constant—to fan the flames of the fire, and you know, grasshopper,” I smile at her and catch sight of the corners of her mouth turning slightly upward in response to the endearment, “a hot enough fire will burn water, so you have to be careful with the water too.”
“That I do know,” she says softly. “So that’s the truth about air and water.” She sighs deep.
“Which is?”
“It’s hard to maintain the balance to keep the fire going. You have to fan the flames without putting it out with too much water. But too little water will burn the fire right up. Too much fire. Too much destruction. We’re out of control.”
“You’re talking in circles,” I say.
“No. That’s us,” she says with certainty."— Katherine Owen
