About this book

*The limited deluxe edition comes with gorgeous printed edges* He was her first love—and her first heartbreak. Now he's back, and the world is watching. From USA Today bestselling author Jennifer Hartmann comes an all-new standalone new adult crossover romance filled with heartache and dreams. Lexington Hall and I were never supposed to collide—he, the golden boy of Hollywood, and me, a small-town dreamer with stars in my eyes.

But when we shared the stage in our high school musical, something ignited. Then, just as quickly, it all fell apart, leaving my dreams in pieces. Now, four years later, Lex is a household name, turning our past into a television sensation. He's spun our story for the world to see, while I'm still haunted by what we lost. With millions obsessed over the "real" Stevie St. James, Lex reappears with an offer too tempting to turn down: a fake romance to keep the buzz alive, in exchange for the financial freedom I desperately need. I convince myself I can play the part. But as old feelings resurface and new risks emerge, the line between fiction and reality begins to blur. Dreams are easy to chase—but falling for the guy who shattered mine could cost me everything.
