She came to Hollywood to make it on her own terms. He lives like he’s got nothing to lose.

Los Angeles, 1997. Carly Reeves has spent three years waitressing on Sunset Boulevard, turning down every sleazy shortcut while sending headshots to every casting office in the city. She’s disciplined, determined, and done waiting for her break.

Eddie Fairweather is a stuntman with a death wish he won’t admit to, a scar for every blockbuster he’s bled for, and a laugh loud enough to fill every room he walks into. He doesn’t plan for tomorrow. Tomorrow has never been the point.

When Eddie nearly runs Carly down with a motorcycle in a studio parking lot, the shouting match that follows is loud enough to catch a director’s attention — and land Carly a speaking role in a Pinnacle Studios action thriller. There’s just one catch: she has to do her own stunts. And Eddie is the one who’ll teach her.

What starts as bruising daily training sessions becomes something neither of them expected. Eddie teaches Carly to fall and trust she’ll be caught. Carly teaches Eddie that wanting to be alive tomorrow isn’t weakness. Late nights on the stunt mats turn into whispered confessions, and a rooftop kiss overlooking the city lights changes everything.

Now Carly has to decide what she’s really fighting for — and whether proving she doesn’t need anyone is worth losing the only person who ever made her feel brave enough to try.

Sometimes the most dangerous stunt is letting yourself fall for real.
