Hiding out in Hollywood is basically a rich alpha trying to woo a plain girl, but can plain girl deal with the papparazi if the romance works out?
Emily had a quick fling with superstar singer Cory, but when Cory went on to someone else, then she had dinner with yet someone else, the tabloids got hold of her photo and portrayed it as a "betrayal" and basically destroyed her career when Cory's fans complained vociferously and that lead to sponsors withdrawing their offers. Now shunning publicity, she was surprised to see TV/movie superstar Raine Kingston, in her morning yoga class... and he wanted to date her. But everything in her scream "no" because she has had it with the paparazzi. But Raine's persistent, and he has means to ensure their privacy. However, secrets always leak, esp. when Cory's publicist are willing to pounce on any sort of publicity, even when it involved an "ex". And soon Emily have to make a choice: give up the relationship for the anonymity and privacy she craved... or go with the man that made her happy and be hounded by paparazzi?
With the backdrop of Tinseltown gossip, the story was used to good effect, esp. when Emily helping at least one such gossip rag. The mental anguish is real, and conflict is true... How much privacy is there when everybody has a camera phone and everybody can be a blogger?
