lyra never expected a small audition to change her life. at twenty-five, she was broke, unknown, and almost ready to give up on acting. then she landed the role of sierra, a nineteen-year-old girl who falls for the legendary frank castle. opposite her was jon bernthal. he was married, a father, and nothing like the intimidating character he played on screen. they became friends almost immediately, and their chemistry was impossible to ignore. soon, the whole world wanted them together. edits. interviews. rumors. stolen glances. everyone was convinced there was something between them. except lyra and jon. because sometimes, the line between acting and reality isn't as clear as you think. and maybe everyone else noticed it before they did.
