Audiobooks
Film location manager Claire Montgomery never imagined that Starlight Creek's timeless beauty would capture both her professional ambition and her heart. Battling in an industry still dominated by men, she faces her toughest challenge yet: securing access to a historically significant art deco theatre. It's fiercely protected by its reclusive owner Hattie Fitzpatrick and her enigmatic great-nephew Luke Jackson. As Claire navigates the community's resistance and her growing attraction to the guarded Luke, she uncovers a decades-old secret in the cinema's archives connected to the remarkable story of 1950s Hollywood legend Lena Lee. In McCarthy-era Hollywood, Lena dared to demand equal pay and meaningful roles while risking everything for a forbidden love affair. Her fight for equality spiralled into scandal that forced her to disappear from Hollywood. When Claire discovers how deeply her own story intertwines with Lena's, she must decide what she's willing to sacrifice for her career, for the truth and for a love that promises everything she never even knew she wanted.
