Off Script

Lana Leighton has spent her whole life being told who she should become. With parents who run a powerful law firm, her future was already written--courtrooms, case files, and a legacy she never asked for. But Lana chose something different: music, quiet afternoons at a record shop called Rylan's Reprise, and a life that finally feels like her own.

Cade Blackwood has spent his life becoming someone else for a living. As a rising Hollywood actor, he's used to scripts, camera, and being seen--but never truly known. Raised in the shadow of a director father and writer mother, he understands storytelling better than most. What he doesn't understand is how to separate who he is from the roles he plays.

When Lana meets Cade at an exclusive industry event she never expected to attend, neither of them is looking for anything real. But something about the way they see each other--without fame, expectations, or performance--changes everything.

What begins as a chance encounter turns into late-night conversations, quiet escapes from their separate worlds, and a connection that feels dangerously real. But in a world where reputation is everything, love doesn't stay simple for long.

When jealousy, misunderstandings, and old relationships threaten to unravel what they've built, Lana and Cade are forced to decide whether what they have is strong enough to survive the spotlight--or if some stories are doomed to fall apart before they even begin.

A romance about fame, identity, and the one person who makes you feel real when the whole world is watching.
