I don’t do relationships. I’ve lived my life hiding my scars, revealing myself only in the scripts I write and the characters I voice. Few people know the real me. I’m too careful. Too afraid of getting burned all over again. Enter Beverly Martin. A movie star. A woman so beautiful and caring she makes my heart ache.

Being a Hollywood heartthrob has its perks, and I've damn sure enjoyed every one of them, both on and off the silver screen.
