Ten years ago, Taylor Whitmore left Sabrina Fox with twelve words on hotel stationery and a broken heart.
Now Taylor is the star of a struggling daytime drama, and Sabrina has just been cast as her new love interest. The network wants chemistry. The producer wants ratings. And somewhere between the fake hospital corridors and scripted romance, Taylor and Sabrina discover that the feelings they buried a decade ago never actually died—they just learned how to wait.
But this time, the cameras are always rolling. With a manipulative producer exploiting their connection, a leaked kiss igniting a media frenzy, and a fake TV engagement threatening to blur every line between performance and reality, Taylor and Sabrina must decide: Can they trust each other with a second chance when the first one nearly destroyed them both?
A story about the roles we play, the ones we're afraid to audition for, and what happens when real life refuses to follow the script.
