A former child star forever tied to her TV alter ego stumbles through scandal, breakups and the return of her stage mother, forcing her to confront her past and decide who she really wants to be. 50,000 first printing. - Harlequin
In this fresh, propulsive take on fame in the tabloid era of the â00s, a former child star struggles to figure out who she is beyond the characters she's playedâon television and in relationships.
Former child star Michaela Turner is ready for her next big roleâshe just doesnât know what it is yet. As someone whose days were once filled with bright lights, never-ending rehearsals, and adoring fans from around the world, Michaela now struggles to define herself beyond the glitz and glamour of her past.
She tries hard to stay out of the tabloids, but fading into the background isnât quite as easy as it sounds. Not when her manipulative momager, Caroline, is dead set on launching her daughterâs big comeback, no matter how many old wounds it tears open. And especially not when Michaelaâs attempts at ânormalâ relationships fail spectacularly at every turn, from the toxic ex she canât seem to escape to the nice guy she wishes she could see a future with.
As her motherâs demands grow more draining and her love life takes hit after hit, she learns a few hard truths about the significance of self-worth and the beauty of letting go. Now, with her ex-boyfriend-turned-best-friend Josh as her only support, Michaela is ready to rebuild herself, one misstep at a time. And maybe, if sheâs lucky, after all these years of pretending, sheâll finally have the chance to discover who she really is.
