From #1 New York Times bestselling author Tracy Wolff comes a fierce, emotional romance about two people surviving the spotlight and choosing love when everything says they shouldn't.
They call her the Black Widow. A pop star. A tabloid tragedy. A girl who set the world on fireāand got burned in return.
But Sloane Walker doesnāt care what they say. Not anymore. The headlines, the hashtags, the rumors that never die? Let them come. Sheās survived worseālike the betrayal that nearly destroyed her and the fans who blamed her for surviving. These days, sheās armor and eyeliner, singing songs that hurt and pretending they donāt.
Sheās halfway through a sold-out tour and dangerously close to unraveling when a meet-and-greet throws her into the path of Mateo Sylvesterāa media darling with a magnetic smile, a thriving career of his own, and a grandmother who happens to be Sloaneās biggest fan. He knows exactly how brutal the spotlight can be. Heās lived it. Heās got the press eating from his hand. Sheās got a flask full of sweet tea, a voice full of ghosts, and no patience for golden boys with good intentions.
She tells herself itās just a photo op. Just another handshake. Just another public face with private secrets and no idea what it means to bleed for your art.
But Mateo sees more than the stage persona. He sees the cracks in her smile. The songs sheās too scared to write. The girl underneath the glitter, still fighting to stay.
They werenāt supposed to fall. Not in the spotlight. Not when the world is watching. And definitely not when the people closest to them would do anything to keep them apart.
