After one of his fans committed suicide, John lost everything: lover, confidence, drive. When he’s given a chance to get back on his feet, he’s happy to take it -- even if it's just writing an actor's biography. It might not be romance, or even fiction, but it's something, and there are worse people to work for than the charming, successful Parker Chase.<br><br>That doesn't mean working for Parker is easy, however. A staunch supporter of living for the moment, Parker goes against everything John believes in. He feels out of place in every moment of Parker's Hollywood life, stuck in a game of wits that at times seems almost contrived.

John straightened his spine and firmed his resolve. “Why are you here? What do you want? If you think I’m going to help you get William back than you’re wrong. If you think I’m even capable of helping you get Will—”


Parker’s voice was so quiet, John barely heard it. “William’s not the one that I want back.”


John frowned. “You’re not getting Miss T. Over my dead body will that cat leave this—”


Parker didn’t reply. He just shook his head.
