Meet Arabella and Roxanne. The stars of the upcoming book:
Off Script
A chance rideshare. A once-in-a-lifetime spark. A love story neither woman saw coming.
Roxanne Cruz is Broadway’s golden girl, but her follow-up script is stubbornly blank. Arabella James is a high-powered publicist with a flawless track record and no time for distractions—especially not the romantic kind.
​
Neither of them is looking for love. But a chance rideshare leads to stolen glances, midnight talks, and a spark that refuses to fade.
Then Roxanne becomes Arabella’s client.
​
When a publicity stunt calls for a fake relationship with a famous actress, Arabella is tasked with managing the narrative—even as the woman she’s falling for steps into the spotlight with someone else.
​
Jealousy brews. Headlines swirl. And beneath it all, a quiet question pulses between them: what if the best love stories can’t be scripted?
