The Love Lyric

World-famous musician Angel Hughes has had a crush on beauty executive Iris Greene for several years, though they only met once. Iris, a widowed single mother, is surprised that a celebrity like Angel remembers her when they see each other again—and is even more surprised when he asks her out. Iris shoots him down, unsure of how serious he is and is taken aback when she hears his new song, which is clearly about her. A tour sponsored by her employer reunites the pair, who have every intention of remaining professional despite their palpable attraction and forced proximity. Career considerations, along with the vast differences in Angel and Iris’s daily lives, make a long-term relationship between the two seem improbable. Iris can scarcely picture the megastar in the life she shares with her daughter, while Angel is uncertain of how they’ll overcome a host of substantial obstacles to reach the love he believes they can have.
