Behind the Scenes

Business consultant Rose Josten might not have officially reached "pug lady" middle age, but she's already got the pugs — along with their little Gucci coats and trash-lovin' appetites. Still, life is good, with her work, her sisters, and a secret hobby creating incredibly tactile (if surprisingly sexy) mindfulness videos. So why does it feel like it's not quite enough? Which is exactly when Ash Stewart enters camera left, and Rose's world suddenly goes full technicolor...

Ash never looks at anyone. Not since her ex ripped her heart from her chest in Spielberg-esque style, crushing Ash's reputation, dreams, and career in one brutal blow. But Rose is altogether different. She's curvy, beautiful, and just so damn put together. And her business expertise might be Ash's best bet for getting her last film — and her last chance — financed. Now if they can just keep their attraction under wraps, Ash's lost dream could finally come true. But are they creating the perfect pitch...or setting the stage for disaster?
