Adam Verlain loves his careful, cloistered world of rare books and never wants to leave it. But then Casey Blanchard, an American superstar, offers her grandfather's very rare and valuable 1865 copy of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" to his university, and he is forced to travel from London to Los Angeles to close the deal. Only problem is, Casey first insists he escort her to her latest film premier for reasons that seem rather...odd.

It's not a great night. Adam winds up brutally styled, rather stoned, gets mistaken for a British actor, is dragged to a far too typically untypical Hollywood party, has to dodge an overly affectionate guard panther, is nearly drowned, and is shocked to learn the book has actually been stolen...and Casey is using him to try and get it back.

Can Adam escape the spotlight shenanigans long enough to save a true treasure from falling into the wrong hands? And can he keep himself from falling for a woman every man dreams of, but who is way beyond his reach, in this zany quest to rescue a priceless classic?
