Win a Date with Julian Austin

An ordinary girl must help a popular teen movie star complete a bucket list of classic high school experiences in exchange for his help garnering attention to her struggling small town, in this charming rom-com!

Layla Matthews is not a big-city girl. She was born to take over her family’s flower farm and stay in Seaton, California. Her rural town might be dying, but she’s planning to change that. 

Then movie star Julian Austin shows up. He’s filming his next blockbuster at Matthews Ranch and makes Layla an irresistible offer: If she helps him experience all the classic high school moments he’s only ever acted out on screen, he’ll help put Seaton back on the map. 

Layla knows having a crush on Julian is a bad idea, but as they work through his “real-life” list, she starts to imagine a future with him. Will Layla pluck up the courage to follow her heart? Or will she let her new dreams be nipped in the bud?
