The Characters

Delilah James: career oriented and driven event planner who is in control of everything, except for her love life. She heads up her business Delilah James Events with complete precision and she does it brilliantly. She is sometimes so career-focused that she misses when love may be right under her nose.  There’s another reason she keeps love at a distance, though. For reasons that are her own, she’s fighting to keep a secret hidden from her business partners, let alone any potential suitors;  she’s transgender, but it’s not the entirety of her, nor her story, and she wants to prevent it defining her at all costs.

TJ : Known by her family as Theadora Johnson, TJ is Delilah’s right-hand woman.  Strong, brash, protective and a little driven by her libido, TJ champions Delilah and makes the best personal assistant anyone could ask for. She’s been a proud and unapologetic maneater for so long, now she isn’t sure how to cope with the feelings of deep affection she now finds herself experiencing.

Matthias Kemp: This divorced restaurateur is a man of means.  After spending 7 years in Italy studying food and wine he returned to create his little slice of restaurant heaven which he calls “L’Uva Toscana“.  He struggles trying to keep a professional relationship with Delilah despite his intense attraction to her.
