Theater of Love. Love, #1

Aiona "Iyah" Grandberry is a young, aspiring actor who likes to fly by the seat of her pants. The one thing that she doesn't take impulsive chances with is her career. She is determined to make a name for herself in an industry that doesn't typically create stories for people who look like her. Iyah is driven, focused, and determined to achieve her goals without any distractions. She has one cardinal rule: never date your co-stars. Enter Julien Caffrey.
He is a charming contradiction from the start, a former model-turned actor who is free of the conceit and self-absorption that Iyah expects. He intrigues Iyah from their first meeting, and her hard and fast rule about "never dating a co-star" is suddenly called into question. Though Iyah is steadfast about keeping their interactions strictly professional, Julien challenges her to push past her personal boundaries and question her own social views.
The more Iyah gets to know Julien, the more she likes him as a person. The two become closer during the course of filming, and Iyah gradually realizes that she's more than just attracted to her soon-to-be married co-star. She's falling in love with him. As their friendship escalates into flirtation and forbidden desire, the thin line between fact and fiction is blurred. Julien and Iyah find themselves consumed with a need for one another that threatens to destroy their friendship, their personal relationships, and everything they've worked so hard to build.
