  All he wants is a quiet wife. But she wants something more . . .  
  19th Century, Liverpool.  
  As wife to an errant husband, the art patron and industrialist Frederick Leyland, Frances is losing her sense of self. Living in the beautiful Speke Hall with her family, she is shocked when Frederick announces he has commissioned American Artist, James Whistler to paint her portrait and the beautiful old house. Added to that, Whistler is also going to renovate the artwork in their new London home. 
  But when Frederick, as usual, dismisses his wife’s desires to help, telling her she doesn’t have the taste or style needed, this time her focus is drawn elsewhere when James Whistler, the handsome, brooding American artist, arrives at Speke and sweeps Frances and the family off their feet. Unlike her husband, he not only listens to Frances, he sees her. He sees the Frances that no-one else does. 
  Under the painter’s intense gaze, Frances begins to realise that like the house, there is neglected splendour within her, too. Inspired by the possibilities the artist arouses in her, she begins to wonder if love might still be in the picture for her, after all… 
  Based on a true story, this is the heady, slow-burn tale of a woman reinventing herself, while embarking on a daring, forbidden love affair with James Whistler.

  New York, 1924. Vivian Kelly's days are filled with drudgery, from the tenement lodging she shares with her sister to the dress shop where she sews for hours every day. But at night, she escapes to The Nightingale, an underground dance hall where illegal liquor flows and the band plays the Charleston with reckless excitement. With a bartender willing to slip her a free glass of champagne and friends who know the owner, Vivian can lose herself in the music. No one asks where she came from or how much money she has. No one bats an eye if she flirts with men or women as long as she can keep up on the dance floor. At The Nightingale, Vivian forgets the dangers of Prohibition-era New York and finds a place that feels like home. But then she discovers a body behind the club, and those dangers come knocking. Caught in a police raid at the Nightingale, Vivian discovers that the dead man wasn't the nameless bootlegger he first appeared. With too many people assuming she knows more about the crime than she does, Vivian finds herself caught between the dangers of New York's underground and the world of the city's wealthy and careless, where money can hide any sin and the lives of the poor are considered disposable...including Vivian's own.

  A few years after they broke up professionally and personally, the ex-screenwriting team of Kerri Williams and Jon D’Angelo find their lives turned upside down when an old script of theirs is green-lit and they’re suddenly forced to write together again. Now, for the month of December, Kerri must leave behind her fiancé and her new life as a teacher in Brooklyn to return to her old glamorous life in sunny Hollywood with the man she used to love. Jon and Kerri will do anything to finish the film and wrap up the set—they'll even work through Christmas—if it means they never have to face this awkward reunion ever again. To make matters worse, the star of the movie, Amari Rivers, thinks they’re still a couple (thanks to Kerri's real engagement ring) and wants to keep them on the set for support and love advice. To keep Amari happy, Kerri and Jon enter into a fake engagement, but pretending to love each other brings back all the old feelings they've been trying so hard to forget since they came back to LA. Will this be the Christmas they finally get their own happy ending?
