Levi Pritchard is a 38 y/o retired actor who lives in Bluewater Bay, WA. He always loved acting, but hated the business of being an A-List actor, especially because it made him hide his bisexuality--or, essentially, his attraction for men. It seems Levi's only real relationship was with a man, and he denied that for years--to protect his career, and because his parents are intolerant alcoholic homophobes. He's being offered a role working on a TV show filing in Bluewater Bay--a role he relishes, but only under the agreement that he's heterosexual; the production has a gay lead and lesbian director and the studio isn't interested in becoming a Pride Extravaganza. 
 Levi considers the opportunity for a good bit of time, always with an eye to refusing. This is difficult since Levi's inordinately attracted to Carter Samuels--the out, gorgeous 20-something star of the show. Carter returns this attraction--Levi was THE ACTOR Carter idolized throughout his adolescence--and he's had years of fantasies over the strapping star. 
 Problem is, both men are attracted to each other in a non-sexual way, as well. They have so many common interests, and enjoy spending time together. The tension crackles between them, however, and, when Levi signs the contract, it's combustible on camera. Still, it's not easy maintaining a platonic distance. Levi won't come out, and Carter won't be closeted. The dynamic is tense, and the stakes are high. Both men know this connection isn't something to move past easily, and, yet, moving forward is equally as difficult. 
 I enjoyed the tension. I liked both characters, and was glad that Levi could see how destructive his "persona" was to his actual life. There's not much smexytimes, and I almost felt like Ms. Witt was "mentally edging" me with all the tease and release. The ending was satisfying, however, and I enjoyed the story very much.
