  From Fantasy to Forever
  For a girl like Amy Wilkes, it's a dream come true! While working at her uncle's health spa, the wholesome beauty is "discovered" by producer Martin Tafft, who asks her to star in his upcoming epic, "One and Only." Whisked off to the set in California, Amy is transformed into a glamorous starlet and thrust in front of her new leading man, rugged, oh-so-handsome cowboy Charlie Fox, another "natural: who's got some big dreams of his own. On screen, sparks fly between Amy and Charlie, as they struggle to learn how to act like people they're not. Off screen, they're caught up in a real-life drama, in which both are tempted--and tested--in more ways than one.
