Cate ‘Coop’ Cooper doesn’t give a damn about the film industry. She just happens to be good at it—good enough to give her sister the stability she never had. As a VFX Wrangler, she knows how to handle chaos, brutal hours, and A-list actors with inflated egos. Managing the tracking markers around Rebecca Stanton’s impossibly green eyes is just part of the job. Except Rebecca keeps treating her like an actual human being. So annoying.

Rebecca is famous for being exactly what people expect—the perfect daughter of political aristocracy, now one of Britain’s most in-demand actresses. Polished, graceful, carefully uncontroversial. But her new superhero role throws her into the world of Visual Effects, where nothing is quite what it seems. Including the tattooed, sharp, guarded Coop—who looks at her like she sees the person underneath the performance. Too bad she’s exactly the kind of woman Rebecca isn’t supposed to notice.

When things get complicated, Coop tends to scale buildings, while Rebecca prefers a proper cup of tea. But between location shoots in the Hungarian humidity and cold London nights, their chemistry becomes undeniable. They see each other in ways no one else has bothered to try. Unlucky for them, film sets run on caffeine and gossip—and Coop’s past makes for a juicy story. The cost of being seen has never been worth it. Until now.
