The Popstar's Ruby

A small-town story of friendship, second chance, forgiveness, and love

A pop star's scandal, a small-town escape, and a second chance that could change everything.

In Metropolis, Illinois, my escape from chaos holds more than just memories. Ruby Colton, my best friend's sister, had a crush on me for a long time. When I left six years ago, I didn't look back. I made my fortune singing on stages worldwide. But then, when scandal blew up in my face, I ended up back in the last place I ever thought. And guess who's my neighbor? Ruby Colton! She is a school teacher and writer. She's everything I'm not—steady, normal, and utterly off-limits. Now, we are neighbors, reigniting a spark I thought had died. The more I draw close to Ruby, some relentless enemies threaten to expose our fragile connection.

With careers on the line and secrets unraveling, can I convince Ruby to give us another chance? Or will the shadows of my past destroy the love I'm desperate to rekindle?
