Synopsis

What happens after your 15-minutes of fame are over?

Maddie Malone is the nanny who made national headlines. She's the temptress who broke up the marriage of two of Hollywood's most beloved movie stars. She's the girl everyone in America loves to hate.

Now two months after the Nannygate sex scandal Maddie is desperate to rebuild her life.
She accepts a position as a personal assistant to the reclusive writer, Jackson Drake. He's fired every one of the assistants his manager has sent him within the first few days of employment, but Maddie is determined to do whatever is takes to make her new job work.

Maddie is able to follow every one of Jackson's eccentric rules to the letter. That is until Emerson Drake shows up for Spring Break. He's Jackson's son from an affair he had with Bahamian creative writing student when he taught at UCLA. He's the son who Jackson has somehow managed to keep hidden from his fans for all these years.
