Crazy Scripted Love
Lucie and Elliot don’t trust each other, but as they’re forced together to work on a script that could launch both of their dream careers, the sparks flying between them are impossible to deny... “Sexy, funny and just PERFECT for the holidays!” Reader Review ★★★★★ The real story happens behind the scenes... Lucie is overworked and underappreciated. She’s sick of putting her life on hold to be available to her boss 24/7, all in the hopes of finally landing her dream job as a film producer. When she gets the chance to fly to New York and work on a major movie script she’s determined not to let anything, or anyone, stand in her way. Elliot is overlooked and overqualified. If he can re-work the script into something award-worthy, he’ll finally get the chance to direct his own films. The stakes couldn’t be higher, so the last thing he needs is some upstart amateur from London swooping in. Cue the bickering and late-night rewrites. The more Lucie and Elliot are forced together the more sparks begin to fly, and soon they realise they might just make the perfect pair— but, soon they’ll find themselves tested in ways they never could have imagined ... Can they come together to script their very own happily-ever-after, or is this love story destined to end in tragedy?
