Alexander Woodroe plays Cupid on the hit series God of the Gates, but his real life is falling apart. The writers have destroyed his character, his past haunts him, and his future looks bleak. When his frustration boils over into a public bar fight, the tabloids smell blood. The network hires Lauren Clegg, a former ER therapist, to manage his behavior and salvage his career. Lauren thinks babysitting one reckless actor will be easier than her hospital work. She's wrong. The more time she spends with Alex, the harder it becomes to maintain professional boundaries. She discovers the pain driving his wild behavior and his secret hobby of writing Cupid fanfiction. When another scandal destroys Alex's reputation and costs Lauren her job, she faces an impossible choice. She can protect herself or give Alex what he truly wants: her heart. Alex refuses to let his stubborn, caring handler disappear from his life. On a road trip along the California coast, he sets out to prove that even a falling star will fight for love.
