Under The Los Angeles Lights

Twenty-five-year-old Claire Arnberry moves to Los Angeles with nothing but a suitcase, a dream, and a part-time job that barely pays her rent. She knows becoming an actress won't be easy, but she's determined to make something of herself-even if Hollywood feels like a world she's not invited into.

Volunteering at a charity gala to "meet people without looking desperate," Claire never expects the first person she checks in to be Eric Winter-the charming, established actor she's admired for years. Polite, grounded, and far more handsome in person, Eric notices Claire's kindness long before he learns her name.

Eric, now in his early forties, has everything Claire's chasing: a career, recognition, stability. What he doesn't have is someone who sees him-not the star, not the public figure. Just the man.

Their worlds shouldn't mix.
The age gap is obvious.
The industry rumors are inevitable.
And Claire can't risk looking like a girl chasing a shortcut to fame.

Yet the connection between them grows-quiet conversations after events, unexpected run-ins, stolen moments where LA feels small and safe. Eric becomes her source of calm in a city built on chaos... and Claire becomes the spark he thought he'd lost.

But when Claire's career finally starts to take off, Hollywood whispers grow louder. Suddenly the question isn't whether they're falling in love-it's whether their love can survive the spotlight.

Hollywood writes the rules - but they're breaking every one ⭐️
