Nothing like a rocky start between enemy coworkers stuck together on location to prove that love isn't just a ploy for ratings it's a force of nature.Alia Dunn has finally gotten her big break. After years of working her way up at TV's top outdoor travel channel, she gets the green light from network executives to bring her dream project to life: produce a series about Utah's national parks. It's a touching tribute to her late apong, who sparked Alia's passion for travel and the outdoors as a kid.
Alia is thrilled until she meets her newest crew member, Drew Irons. The same Drew she had the most amazing first date with two weeks ago who then ghosted her. The same Drew who has the most deliciously thick forearms and who loves second-guessing her every move on set in front of the entire crew. It's not long before the tension between them turns hotter than the Utah desert in the dead of summer, and their steamy encounters lead to major feelings.
But when the series host goes rogue one too many times, jeopardizing the entire shoot, Alia realizes that she'll need to organize one hell of a coup to save her show and she'll need Drew's help to do it. It's the riskiest move she's ever made. If she pulls it off, she'll end up with a hit series and her dream guy . . . but if it all goes wrong, she could lose both.

1I never thought Brie cheese could be so infuriating.
But infuriated is exactly how I feel as I watch the man sitting in front of me in this packed New York City subway car pull a wheel of Brie from his jacket pocket.
He takes noisy, sloppy bites, like he's eating an apple.
I bite back a curse and try not to gag. On any other day, I'd take this scene in stride. This is the subway during a Friday evening commute, after all. Weird stuff is bound to happen, and normally I'd be down to people watch.
But after the day I've had, witnessing a stranger noisily devour a round of soft cheese as I stand one foot away is the last straw. My well of patience is depleted, and I've got no more fucks to give.
"You've got to be freaking kidding me," I mutter to myself, not caring one bit if he hears.
My phone buzzes in my pocket between stations.
Haley: Want me to slash Byron's tires? Just say the word and it's done.
I crack a smile. It's the first time my mouth has curved upward ever since this morning's failed pitch-the reason for my current sour mood.
Me: As long as you're okay with taking the heat. I'm currently on the subway headed home. I don't have the energy to make my way from Brooklyn to Manhattan to bail you out.
Haley: You won't have to. I won't get caught
I chuckle. This text exchange with my coworker and best friend is the perfect distraction.
I glance around the car, packed to the max with commuters eager to get the hell home, just like me. I inhale, then promptly wrinkle my nose at the smell of BO, smoke, urine, and stale fast food.
"This is Brooklyn Bridge-City Hall," the automated voice announces through the speaker system as we shudder to a stop.
The doors fly open and a wave of people push their way onto the car while a handful try to walk out. I close my eyes and sigh. Every. Single. Time. Everyone knows that you're supposed to let people get off the train first before you walk on. It's such a

simple rule.
But this city is riddled with rule breakers. Like the Brie cheese guy, who is now eating a giant, smelly egg salad sandwich and washing it down with a can of beer. He lets out a loud belch that doesn't seem to faze anyone else sitting or standing in this packed-to-the-brim car.
I hold in a groan. Isn't it enough that we're permitted to consume food on crowded mass transportation? Why does he have to eat one of the stinkiest foods imaginable and drink alcohol? I'm in the mood to guzzle copious amounts of liquor after the day I've had, but I'm not about to down a bottle of whiskey on the subway.
I wonder if network executive Byron would think that's risky enough-openly consuming alcohol on the subway in direct defiance of mass-transit policy.
I shake my head and look away, annoyed that I can't seem to shed my awful attitude. But I can't help it. Because today I had a shot at my dream-the dream I've been working toward ever since I graduated college and started working in television. And I lost it. That's why Haley is texting me-to comfort me because she knows just how much this kills.
As someone who works in TV production, I'm used to being disappointed. I've spent my entire career working for Expedition TV, the most popular travel-themed channel on cable. When I started as an intern and production assistant, I worked long hours, often having my ideas shot down because they were too ambitious or because I was too inexperienced. But the disappointment of rejection was easy to brush off, because I got to spend the bulk of my twenties traveling all over the US, working on shows that documented the most beautiful parts of the country. I also learned an important lesson early on: the TV industry isn't for the faint of heart.
If I didn't have it in me to keep trying, keep working hard, keep amassing years of experience while learning the industry ropes, t
