Publisher Description
The first rule of conquering Hollywood? Get there.
Newspaper columnist Devon Jacobs is hiding more secrets than just the chocolate bars and half-finished screenplays stuffed in her desk. Kind-hearted and insecure, she dreams of escaping her stifling hometown of Berman, Indiana, and moving to Hollywood to write for television. When she drunkenly confesses her feelings to her best friend, Jason, his painful snub finally spurs Devon to action. She quits her job, packs up and flies to Los Angeles to begin the rest of her life.
Devon's newfound drive lands her a production assistant role on a hit television sitcom. As she transforms into a confident and talented professional, she gains the attention of the show’s handsome and charming leading man, Ryan Roberts. But just as Devon’s star is in full ascent, Jason resurfaces. Used to being an extra in the background instead of the lead, Devon must decide whether her long-standing feelings for Jason are worth a second risk, or if she should pursue her developing attraction and friendship with Ryan.
Who ever said nice girls can’t win?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A woman works hard for her dreams and finds love along the way in the sweet contemporary romance that launches the Fearless Fairy Tale series from Wheatley (Love at the Icicle Café). When Devon Jacobs, who's already low on self-esteem, confesses her long-standing love to her childhood friend Jason it goes horribly—which means it's the perfect time for her friend Gabby, who works in Hollywood, to call and tell her a television production assistant job is hers for the taking. Devon needs a fresh start and always dreamed of writing for television, so she jumps at the chance. And the move from Indiana to Los Angeles improves her life immediately: she lives in Gabby's gorgeous guest house in Beverly Hills, impresses the head writer on her show, builds her self-confidence, and strikes up a friendship with actor Ryan Roberts that quickly starts to feel like something more. But her friends from home aren't as supportive as she hoped they'd be, forcing Devon to choose between them and the new life she's created. Devon is an admirable heroine and she and Ryan make a cute couple. With as much focus on Devon's personal growth as on her relationship with Ryan, this charming story effortlessly straddles the line between women's fiction and romance.

She Gets What She Wants
Good!
Mean girlfriend
I’m sure the author meant for her best friend to come off as caring, but really came off as self centered and mean. Rarely have I disliked a character so quickly. I could not finish the book
