Actors Ethan Grey and Alex Haynes are gay, but in Hollywood, they can’t be open unless they’re willing to be typecast in future movies or they’re dating prominent gay producers. Since neither are willing to become stereotypes, and neither have studio boyfriends, they take another path -- hiding their relationship under the cover of a pretend girlfriend. What works for Ethan, though, doesn’t work for Alex, who screws up to the point of losing his job and the chance to get another. His manager finally finds him another job across the pond, where he meets Nathan Wells. Nathan can be the prominent producer Alex needs to further his career, but there’s something Alex doesn’t know about the man. Soon Wells grows obsessed with Alex, and he’ll do anything to keep Alex from getting away. Though Nathan wants Alex for himself, there’s still Ethan to think about. Is the love story between Alex and Ethan really over? Or will Ethan find a way to get his boyfriend back?

Slippery Slope

Ethan had left and he hadn’t even tried to wake him. Ethan had left without saying anything but Alex thought they were still going out. He sighed.


It didn’t mean anything, right? Ethan didn’t really leave him. Well, he left him, but that was just because they were both going to have another late night shoot and the man definitely needed to rest. Alex wondered why he didn’t just do it here.


For sure Alex didn’t need any more rest. Especially when the last time he drifted to sleep, his boyfriend had slipped away.


Alex rose to turn off the TV. Perhaps he could just spend the time browsing through the net while he was waiting for the driver to pick him up.


That’s when something on the screen stopped him.


Ethan’s face popped up. He was on E! News, all white teeth and bright face, talking about his plans for Valentine’s Day dinner. Clinging to his arm was a minute, red-haired girl. It was Lea.
