Glamorous parties, flashing lights, red carpets—Tally Jones has worked hard to join Hollywoods A-list since she moved to Los Angeles. She finally gets her break on the hit nighttime soap opera Dana Point, with a coveted role that allows the former small-town girl to trade her crisp waiter uniform for a breathtaking ball gown, a career as a glittering starlet, and a red-hot arm charm: chiseled hunk Gabriel McNamara, the king of prime-time medical drama.
Ratings have skyrocketed since Tally replaced veteran diva Susie Sheppard on the show, and her performance earned her an Emmy nomination. But celebrity has its dark side, too. Tallys financial adviser makes off with her savings, and Gabriels kinky sexploits and paparazzi baiting have Tally wondering why there isnt a better leading man in her life.
There is: the successful film producer Mac Carlton, who has been in love with her from the moment he set eyes on her. With Mac at her side, Tally is living the Hollywood dream—until Susie arranges for her character to make a comeback, then schemes to oust her popular costar from the limelight. Upon learning of Tally and Macs engagement, Susie sharpens her claws to snag Mac. Shes out to ruin Tallys life completely. But Tally wont go down without a fight. Shes determined to bring down her on- and off-screen nemesis and claim the sparkling happy ending she deserves.
