For everyone who's ever felt too big, too weird, too queer—or just too much—comes a happily ever after for the rest of us.
Hollywood isn't nice to women like Diana Smith, but that hasn't stopped her from being unabashedly queer, plus-sized, and determined to make award-winning movies that showcase the diversity of her community. She was so close to her goal, appearing at festivals and gaining attention for her short films, when grief came and shattered Diana's directorial dreams.
Forced to move to the suburbs with her sister and kids, the closest thing Diana gets to the movies these days is dressing the stars of them at her high-end department store job. Until one day, she gets a pity invite to a gala full of Hollywood's most elite, where she unwittingly attracts the attention of a famous action star.
The unexpected pairing shocks their friends–and the tabloids–forcing Diana to choose between the status quo and the silver screen. For the first time in her life, doors open for Diana and the possibilities seem endless. The chance to create unforgettable films. To shake up the industry. To inspire everyone who's ever felt like they didn't belong.
But fame always comes with a cost...and to get her Hollywood ending, Diana's going to have to go completely off-script.

      Fleming (Bawdy Love) delivers an appealing body-positive romance set against the dazzling lights of Hollywood. Diana Smith longs to be a world-famous filmmaker, but in the interim, she’s a personal shopper at a high-end L.A. department store and lives with her sister’s family in the suburbs. Diana is plus-size and genderqueer, making it challenging to navigate the notoriously looks-oriented film industry. After Hollywood star Chris Stanson, a regular customer, invites Diana’s colleague Emmy to a party she has no interest in attending, Diana and her film-school bestie, Janelle, decide to crash. There they meet a man who will change Diana’s life forever: down-to-earth action star Drew Williams. While it’s been a while since Diana dated a cis man, she soon falls for Drew. When Drew and Chris option Diana’s script for their new production company, Diana is over the moon, but is she ready to be thrown into the deep end of Hollywood’s toxic culture? Fleming’s leads leap off the page, and her fearless embrace of love in every guise will endear her to readers. Sparkling prose and quirky supporting characters—particularly Drew’s zany mother—bolster this tale of love and personal growth. Romance fans will be swept away.
