Unscripted Desire

Celeste Raines has built her empire on control. An Academy Award-winning actress and Hollywood's most enigmatic star, she knows better than anyone that desire and discipline don't mix - not in an industry that thrives on scandal. She lives by one rule: never blur the line between work and real life.

Then Rowan Hart walks into the audition room.

Bold, magnetic, and unafraid, Rowan is everything Celeste has tried to guard herself against. She's new to the Hollywood machine, but her raw fire lights up the screen - and when she's paired with Celeste for the film of the year, the chemistry is instant, undeniable, and exactly what the studio wants.

But what begins as rehearsed intimacy quickly bleeds into something dangerous. Every stolen glance and unscripted touch threatens to unravel Celeste's carefully crafted walls - and reveal a truth she's kept hidden from the world, and from herself, for far too long.

In a city where secrets are currency and desire can destroy, Celeste and Rowan must decide: will they stick to the script, or risk everything for the one thing neither of them can fake?
