Desmond O'Neill arrives in Los Angeles from his native Ireland ready to make a new life. Although he doesn't have a job or plan, Des is confident he'll find his way. After all, he'd gotten this far in life with good looks and charm. Fate smiles on him when he meets a major movie star, Simone Sage. Better yet, she invites him home—and into her bed.
They share lust, not love, but soon their relationship reaches a new level. Neither uses the L-word—yet. Des knows he's falling in love for the first time but he likes the high life so he's in no hurry. When he nets a movie role of his own, life is sweet. A near tragedy brings out their true feelings and leads them to a future neither one expected when they met.
