The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 164

Jim beams at the high praise, waving a modest hand. "You flatter me. I've just always had a deep fascination with that era of history and spent a lot of time researching it."

"Your creative angle is incredibly refreshing," Tara continues. "There are similar genres on the market, but very few manage to blend these elements so seamlessly."

The key to a script like this is casting. It requires actors with serious, proven talent and real star power to convey the depth of the story. The current market is flooded with pretty-faced idols who only take easy, highly-paid gigs on variety shows or fluffy fashion dramas. They care more about looking attractive on camera than actual acting. If those types of celebrities don't take the time to hone their craft, their careers will vanish the second their youth fades.

"I'll hand the script over to Tricia," Tara decides. "She has a great relationship with a veteran director who excels at this exact genre."

Director Preston happens to be between projects and is going through a creative bottleneck. Tara is certain that once he reads Jim's script, he will jump at the chance to direct it.

"That's wonderful," Jim exhales, a wave of immense relief and joy washing over him.

"I also really love the role of the second female lead. I'll be taking that part myself. Let's make this incredible together."
