Helene Jemison was cautiously hopeful that someday, someone would discover her novels. She lived for writing literarily and physically. While employed at the Los Angeles City Hall, she spent her lonely nights fulfilling dreams of love and adventure while writing romance and suspense stories.

One day, out of the blue, her long awaited phone call arrived and the top agent, Armin Willinger, made her an offer that opened the door for Helene to an entirely different world, the world of entertainment and film making. A young actor named Jake Mortensen, son of a major movie mogul takes up a personal interest in Helene, a man almost half her age and he pursued her with youthful recklessness that he must outgrow to gain her love and respect as a man.

Helene was torn between her tragic past that she is unable to forget and the possibilities of a bright future, laced with love and passion. Unknown to her, there are others who also developed an interest in her, professionally and personally, but who could really she trust without getting hurt again? When events take a tragic turn, it becomes crystal clear to Helene what she needs to do, but whatever destiny brings her way, it must happen on a certain day, five til midnight.
