Love & Other Expletives

Becca Vance is America’s Sweetheart.
There’s just one problem—she doesn’t believe in love.

The queen of romantic comedies has perfected the art of swoon on screen, but off screen Becca knows better. Attraction is chemistry. Biology. Nothing more. A hard lesson she learned long before she became the face of happily ever after.

When visionary director Ryan Carter asks her to co-direct a documentary about love, she can’t refuse the career-defining opportunity. There’s just one complication.

Ryan believes in soulmates.

Becca believes love is a myth.

Now they’re trapped on a tour bus together, traveling across the country interviewing couples about the very thing Becca refuses to believe exists.

What begins as a professional partnership quickly becomes something far more dangerous. Between late-night writing sessions, sharp banter, and a growing connection they’re determined to keep secret, Becca’s carefully built defenses begin to crack.

Because Ryan Carter doesn’t want to fix her.

He simply sees her.

But to build a future with him, Becca will have to face the past she’s spent years running from—and decide if love is worth risking everything she’s worked so hard to protect.

One tour bus.
Two opposing philosophies.
Three thousand miles of forced proximity.
