THE CHARACTERS
Alexandra Daniels spent half her life as a dedicated wife and mother.

She got a gym membership, lost weight, and spent her free time at night catching up on years of movies she missed. To add to her newly found identity, Alex wins a trip to New York to see her favorite talk show taped. While there she meets her movie idle, Derek Dunbar. Can life get any better?
Derek Dunbar went to school to be a lawyer, something his mother loved to brag about. But Derek felt he had another calling: acting. Once he submerged himself into his new career he was destined for stardom...and loneliness. Oh, Derek had the looks, but his work–a–holic mentality made dating difficult, not to mention the paparazzi that followed him everywhere.
