Twenty-three-year-old rising theater star Jill McCormick has built a life out of pretending. Pretending shes happy, pretending her long-distance crushes add up to something real, pretending shes not haunted by the dark secret that shattered her world six years ago. Cast in her first Broadway show, she desperately needs to keep her faade intact, but thats before she comes face to face with her devastating new boss... Hotshot director Davis Milo knows the first rule of directing never fall for your leading lady. Captivated by Jills raw talent, he fights his feelings, but watching Jill on-stage with another man is more than his jealous streak can take. Keeping things professional isnt an option. He wants all of her. Soon the ingnue and her director are staying late in the empty theatre, their private rehearsals spiraling into new, forbidden territory.
