Overview
A swoony, slow burn romance about a struggling composer whose big break comes at a cost--working side-by-side with her college nemesis. Celia García has always had one goal: to compose film scores. But after a decade of advertising jingles, that dream couldn't be further out of reach--until an old college friend presents her with a life-changing opportunity. A big-name director so desperately needs a composer for his TV debut that he'll take a chance on someone new. There's only one catch. Celia has to work--and live--with her college nemesis, Oliver Barlowe. Celia remembers Oliver as arrogant, rude, and entitled--the picture-perfect scion of Hollywood royalty. Soon, though, late nights and long days together reveal how much Oliver's changed, sparking new feelings and the discovery that their rivalry wasn't quite as mutual as she thought. But in an industry where she needs to work twice as hard to be seen as half as good, a romance with Oliver could end Celia's career just as it's starting
