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

Alex had changed a lot since then but Ethan was afraid that his friend had shut down again, perhaps even tighter than he had before, and for that he felt guilty. It wouldn’t be easy for anyone to find Alex after a shoot, including Ethan.


The shoot that followed was draining enough without his having to bare himself before Johnson and Ethan. It was for the series finale. The idea that everything was finally coming to an end almost made Alex lose it. They had been working together for more than five years, all the crew and the actors, and to think that one morning he’d wake up without having to drive to the set was almost unreal. And then to think that he might never see these people again due to what had happened…


Several times Alex had tried to brace himself and tell himself over and over that he could do it. It wasn’t easy for him, just as he was sure it hadn’t been easy for Ethan.
