When Roxy takes a singing telegram gig to pay her NYC rent, she doesn't expect her first customer to be a charming, infuriatingly handsome lawyer—or that he'll actually want to see her again after she serenades him in a giant bunny suit. Louis is used to getting what he wants, but Roxy's got walls built higher than the Empire State Building, convinced he's just another privileged guy who's never had to work for anything. As Louis pursues her through the streets of Manhattan with genuine determination, Roxy discovers there's a lot more beneath his polished exterior, and he just might be worth the risk of letting someone in. It's a fun, flirty ride full of witty banter and sizzling chemistry that'll make you believe in second chances and the magic of meeting someone totally unexpected.
Reading soundtrack
Tension-filled indie pop and sultry R&B for the push-pull of reluctant attraction. Mix cocky confidence with vulnerable moments—artists like The 1975, SZA, and Arctic Monkeys. Playful yet charged, with underlying heat building beneath witty banter and unexpected softness.
