In Hollywood, timing is everything.

Natalie Cruz has finally made it. Her first TV show is sold, her career is taking off, and everything is falling into place. She’s focused, determined, and absolutely not looking for a relationship. Especially not with the man she swore would be a one-time thing.

Jake Reyes isn’t interested in casual anymore. After rebuilding his life post-divorce, the last thing he expected was to run into the woman he hasn’t stopped thinking about… in his conference room. As his newest client. And his boss’s daughter.

One contract signing and one emergency room visit later, they’re hit with a surprise neither of them expected… a baby.

Natalie knows how to take care of herself. She’s been doing it her entire life. A steady, all-in, golden-retriever of a man is not part of her plan, no matter how good Jake is at showing up exactly when she needs him.

But Jake isn’t going anywhere. Not from her, and definitely not from their child. And the more life pushes them together, the harder it becomes to pretend what’s growing between them is just logistics.

As their carefully drawn boundaries start to crumble, Natalie has to decide: can she have the career she’s always dreamed of and the family she never knew she wanted?

The final book in The Backlot Series, where dreams are made, hearts are tested, and happily ever afters are earned one scene at a time.
