Typecast
What's your fantasy?
Twenty years ago, the
movie Hollywood Stardust defined a generation of teens and
changed the four actors’ lives forever.
Typecast as the villain both
in front and behind the silver screen, Logan Alexander has purposely allowed
his star to fade. Now with the 20th Anniversary of the movie on the horizon, he
is the only one fit to step into the spotlight, deal with the unwanted
publicity, and make sure that things meant to be left on the cutting room floor
remain there.
Ivy Vermont has always longed
to be a leading lady, yet her paralyzing stage fright has relegated her to stay
behind the scenes as a fact checker for Chargge.com’s entertainment webcasts.
However, when her one-time poster-boy crush walks in to the studio demanding
only she be in charge of his story, she knows she must take advantage of her
big break.
Now, Logan tightropes between
old loyalties and new love, while Ivy struggles to stay in reality with her
ultimate fantasy.

promise he never plans on fulfilling. With his sights set on having the movie
he wrote produced, he takes the easy road and secures funding from the
underbelly of society. The only issue is he used the money for other
necessities including designer clothes and sports cars. Out of cash, he’s in trouble.
Cold, calculated and conniving, Cora Caine is one of the youngest female
Internet billionaires in history. Her success stems from hard work and a will
of steel. Now she’s up for the position of CEO of Ultracom, but in order to
earn her place, she must learn to be likable. Whoever said business was
nice?
When Ryder thrusts himself into Cora’s perfectly planned life and
promises to help her get her dream job all for the small fee of paying for his
movie, the offer seems made in negotiation heaven. She never considered he
might be risking her life as well as her checkbook to his benefit.
However, when their hearts enter their business deal, they find there
may be things in life more important than being Idolized.
