Fine Line (J.E)

Ellis Monroe doesn't believe in distractions.

At 25, she's exactly where she planned to be: climbing the ranks at a prestigious New York investment firm. Composed, controlled, and subtly-intimidating. Raised to value achievement over emotion, Ellis has built her life around structure, consistency, and certainty. Love has never been part of the plan.

Then there's Jacob.

A chance run-in on a crowded city street leads to another, and then another-until Ellis finds herself sharing dinners, late-night conversations, and stolen moments with a man whose life couldn't be more different from hers. Jacob is a world-famous actor, effortless where she is exacting, transient where she craves stability. He's used to attention. She avoids it at all costs.

As Ellis begins to let her guard down, the realities she's been trying to ignore creep in: unforgiving schedule, the public scrutiny, the imbalance between their worlds. What started as an unexpected connection begins to test everything she believes about control, vulnerability, and what it means to choose herself for once.

Will Ellis risk the certainty she's worked so hard for-or walk away before things get complicated?
And can something real survive when two people live in entirely different worlds?
