Estella Martin never expected her first big role to put her in the spotlight or beside Alessandro Pesci, Hollywood's most irresistible leading man. On-screen, their chemistry blazes in a spy thriller full of betrayal and danger. Off-screen, they're pushed into a publicity stunt meant to skyrocket her career and save his reputation.
But not everything can be scripted. His protective gestures feel too real, her nervous smiles too genuine, and soon Estella can't tell where the act ends and the truth begins. In a world of flashing cameras and dangerous secrets, falling for him might be the biggest risk of all.
Estella Martin has spent years in the shadows of Hollywood playing background characters, sisters, and nameless faces. At twenty-two, she never imagined her big break would come as the co-star to Alessandro Pesci, the world's most sought-after actor with a reputation as dangerous as his smoldering looks.
On-screen, their chemistry ignites in a high-stakes spy thriller filled with betrayal, secrets, and explosive action. Off-screen, the stakes are just as high. His manager wants to repair his image as a scandal-ridden heartthrob. Her team wants to launch her into stardom. Together, they're forced into a publicity storm that blurs the line between reality and performance.
But as Estella finds herself swept into Alessandro's carefully constructed world of charm and mystery, she begins to notice cracks in the façade-small gestures that feel too real, lingering glances that can't be rehearsed. And when the cameras stop rolling, she can't tell if she's still acting... or if she's falling for him.
Perfect for fans of action-packed romance thriller dives into the intoxicating collision of Hollywood glamour, spy-level intrigue, and a love story that refuses to stay on screen.
