Lights, Camera… Love?: A Celebrity Romcom with a Normal Twist

After a scandal sends rising pop star Alex Rivers running from Hollywood, he ends up in the last place he thought he’d see again his quiet hometown. Fame sticks to him like static, right up until he literally collides with Noah Clarke, the no-nonsense bookstore owner who couldn’t care less about red carpets.

Noah lives for order and the steady rhythm of Havenbrook Books. The shelves, the silence, the small-town routine it’s all he needs. The last thing he wants is reporters crowding his shop or the town buzzing with Alex’s drama. But when Alex’s manager cooks up a “fake friendship” to fix his image, Noah gets dragged into the spotlight.

What begins as staged outings and forced smiles soon shifts. Late-night conversations cut deeper than either expected. Laughter comes easy, and some touches don’t feel like an act. Still, the cameras don’t blink, and rumors threaten the fragile trust building between them.

For Alex, it’s the first real chance to figure out who he is without the spotlight. For Noah, it’s risking the peace he’s always protected for something messy, unscripted, and maybe worth keeping.

Can two men find something real when the world insists it’s all for show?
