Becca Freeman is desperate to find a new job. She's felt stuck in her current role as a television writer on a crime procedural, but a falling out with a former boss who badmouthed her to the rest of their industry has left her with no other options. Then her agent calls her with an offer to meet on a project that not only requested her specifically, but is also willing to give Becca the title bump she needs if she wants to create and run her own show one day.
The last thing Becca expects when she walks into the meeting is for it to be with Zach Matthias, her former best friend and current sworn enemy. Four years ago, Zach's career blew up when Becca's old boss cast him on a show that Becca helped to pitch. When her boss reneged a promise to promote Becca to writer, she begged Zach to intercede on her behalf. Instead, he chose his career over their friendship. Zach has spent the last four years hating himself for what he did to Becca, and resenting her for cutting him out of her life over one mistake. But it's a mistake he would do anything to make right. The show's renewal for a fifth season allowed Zach's agent's to nab him a coveted producer credit in negotiations. His one other condition? Bring back Becca Freeman. Becca knows that the only way to resurrect her writing career is to accept the job. But the more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to keep their distance.
