About this title

Synopsis

The dressing room on the left has always been yours.

Six words on expensive stationery. A ticket to a theater Vivienne Cross has never heard of. And an invitation from the woman whose brilliance nearly destroyed her.

Three years ago, Vivienne gave the performance of her life in Harlow Devereux's production of Hedda Gabler. The critics called her luminous. Harlow called her at two in the morning, blurring every line between artistic collaboration and something far more dangerous. By closing night, Vivienne had fallen completely-and then walked away with a suitcase and a one-way ticket to London, choosing survival over extraordinary.

Now Harlow has bought a theater. Written a play. And somehow convinced Vivienne to step back onto a stage where the only script is their own unfinished story.

But Harlow Devereux spent twenty-five years confusing direction with love, and Vivienne spent three years learning she deserves more than being someone's muse. Between rehearsals that feel like seduction and a performance that demands they bare everything they've hidden, two women must decide: Can you build something real with someone who once made you disappear into their vision? Can you trust a second chance when the first one nearly broke you?

In the wings of a ninety-seat theater in Portland, with an audience waiting and nowhere left to hide, Vivienne and Harlow will discover that the hardest role they've ever played is themselves-and that sometimes the most courageous act isn't walking away.

It's choosing to stay.

A contemporary love story about power and partnership, artistic obsession and hard-won equality, The Dressing Room on the Left asks: What does it cost to love someone who only knows how to direct?
