Keller Scott wants to embrace his inner Buscemi and channel his Dafoe, but damn, if his looks don't keep getting in the way. He's dying to be taken seriously as an actor and land some legit roles that don't feature him shirtless, or worse. His playboy reputation precedes him, but that’s not who he is on the inside. Lately, he's not even sure where Hollywood's version ends and the real Keller Scott begins. 

Enter Joey Mitchell. When she shows up at his office, vying to be his next Personal Assistant, Keller has no doubt that this Summa Cum Laude, USC grad is perfect for the position. She's hot; petite and curvy in all the right places. But, a starry-eyed fan girl she's not. Joey packs a mean left hook, along with some blistering hot pepper-spray. She kicks ass and takes names and doesn't hesitate to put Keller in his place, a few times. On the outside, she’s all business and confidence for days, but on the inside, she’s broken and barely holding it together. Too many secrets and too much sorrow have taken their toll. 

Keller and Joey’s lives collide on a more personal level when her best kept secret steals his heart. What begins as a PR goldmine in a pediatric cancer ward, becomes something else entirely. One amazing kid, with a spirit as big as the sky and eyes just as blue- has love enough to bring out the very best in Keller and help Joey heal.
