Martina Moreschino is a global pop icon with a shelf full of Grammys, an almost unmanageable level of fame, and a persistent
stalker who just won't quit.

After a humiliating, headline-making breakup that goes viral, she's had about enough. She's ready to walk away--or at the very least, to leave NYC behind and start fresh in LA.

Trading songs for screams, Martina lands an acting gig in a horror TV show alongside Ewan McGregor. Through him, she meets Hayden Christensen, a man who ditched Hollywood's spotlight long ago for some goddamn peace and quiet on a remote Canadian farm.

Both are burned and bruised by fame, and neither is looking for love. But fate (and an ill-timed stumble at the Emmys) has other plans.

When she literally falls into Hayden's arms, something undeniable ignites.

What follow is an electric, sizzling game of hide and seek, with a fast sexual burn but a slower emotional burn as they try to outrun the spotlight, the stalker, and their own fears.

Preface

It started as a blatant Hayden Christensen fan fiction, but then all the original characters and plot kind of took a life of their own. I'd say there are definitely elements of RLF (I'm going to hell, I know) but there's also plenty of orignal content. If you're happy with a mix, than you'll like this.
