The real heat is behind the scenes.

Clara Kim doesn’t give up easily. The aspiring K-drama star loves challenging expectations—in her personal life, in her career, and on social media. But despite winning awards and garnering glowing reviews, she’s struggling to land a breakout role. So when Clara gets a shot at the lead in a buzzy romantasy project, she won’t let anyone stand in her way…especially not Shin Min-joon.

Min-joon, a superstar with an annoyingly perfect face, is Clara’s most vocal critic online. Now, he’s also her co-star, and just as broody and aloof as she expected him to be. But between the long days on set—and the even longer nights off—their smoldering animosity sparks into something else entirely. Clara and Min-joon won’t have a problem convincing audiences their chemistry is real, but can they convince themselves it’s not?
