Love and Other Hollywood Endings

A movie director and his former student reignite their past romance years later in this multidimensional contemporary from Erwin (the Titans of Tech series). Xavier Ducal and Sutton Spencer shared a single kiss while he was still her film professor, after which Xavier apparently ghosted her. Now, 10 years later, Sutton works as a production executive for Monument Studios and she’s assigned to oversee Xavier’s next project, The Quantum Wraith. She’s thrilled at the power reversal now that she’s the one in charge. But while on set in Arizona, Xavier clears up their past misunderstanding and they agree to act on their mutual attraction while keeping it secret from their coworkers and Xavier’s young nephew who lives with him. Both expect it to be just a physical thing, but when they catch feelings, they must decide how they want their relationship to proceed after production ends. Erwin fully fleshes out her protagonists and makes their past miscommunication as believable as their present rekindling. This is a treat. (Feb.)
