I believe in love. I write songs about it. But in Hollywood, love is a remix of broken promises and fleeting infatuations, and I’ve seen too many relationships fall apart under the spotlight.

I’ve built my career on instinct—both as a songwriter and as a music tech executive. I know when something is real, and I know when it’s just another catchy hook that won’t last. So when I meet television star of Land and Legacy, Trey St. James at a desert music festival, I already know exactly who he is. Gorgeous. Charismatic. Walking red flag. A heartbreaker with a highlight reel of exes and a reputation to match.

But knowing better doesn’t stop the sparks.

For one weekend, it’s magic. Music, laughter, late-night conversations under the stars. Trey makes me feel seen in a way I didn’t expect, and I can’t ignore the way he looks at me—like I’m the song he’s been searching for.

Then reality comes crashing back. Hollywood isn’t a place for love stories like ours. Scandals, career pressures, and old wounds pull us in different directions. I’ve written enough songs to know how this ends. But something about Trey makes me want to risk the heartbreak anyway.

Because if love is music, then maybe—just maybe—Trey and I are a melody worth fighting for.
