Staged

After years of being filmed, styled, directed, and judged from every angle, Harper finally has the role that could change everything: a sharp, physical, high-stakes part where she has to look like she knows how to protect someone.

So she hires Miller.

He is not an acting coach. He is not interested in movie people. He is definitely not interested in being followed around by an actress with a notebook, too many questions, and absolutely no sense of personal space.

Harper only wants to learn how he moves, how he reads a room, how he notices things before anyone else does. Miller only wants to finish the job without being pulled into her world.

That would be easier if she stopped watching him like he was the most interesting thing in Los Angeles.

And it would be much easier if he stopped noticing.

Set over one hot Hollywood summer, Staged is a sexy, funny slow-burn romance about a woman learning how to protect herself on screen, a bodyguard who hates being studied, and the dangerous little problem of getting too close for research.
