BOOK TWO IN THE GLOBAL SUPERSTARS SERIES - AIDEN RYKER I'm frenemies with nightmare fuel! For the last seven months, Nash Fox has made it his mission to make sure I could never forget he existed. And okay, I'm not too upset by it. I could tell him to go away or stop texting me, but I don't. That would be so mean. Except, that comes back to bite me in the ass when I'm invited to Colorado for two weeks. For the Luna-Pierce family games. Never mind the Kitt Luna tour I have to managed in less than a month. Why does it come back to bite me? Oh, right. I have to share a guest house with Nash! Someone sedate me for the next two weeks. Because now, he's there every second, and I already had trouble with getting him out of my psyche. Nash was the brash, cold-seeming, and the 'bad boy' you'd read about. But he isn't those things, and I find out exactly why I'd been so sure of that. My back rooms stranger is Nash. How do I find out? Nash falls into another panic attack, and I'm the only one around. When I find out, there is nothing I can do to keep hiding the feelings I have for the ice-cold bad boy. But we both have secrets, and when those secrets show up through our reactions, we have to figure out how to navigate them. Which is why I begin dating Nash. In secret. Until we can both make sure this is what we really want. Through rescue missions, horse snuggles, adrenaline-activities, snarky dialogue, and stolen moments? There lay a beautiful moment that I become less scared to take. But why does Nash hide this sweet, soft side of himself? I want to find out what he's protecting himself from, so that I can shield him, too. Nash isn't alone anymore, and I need to realize that I'm not, either.

ELLIOTT MERCER I'm a stage manager and a pyrotechnics engineer. Normally, both aren't done by the same person, but I have a gift for both.

Except now, it's led me to Los Angeles, where I have to spend the next several months following around a Popstar who'd taken a hiatus for three years. Under mysterious circumstances.

But I can't despise Axi. I just can't. What happens next? We're worlds apart in actual distance and career perspective. We aren't supposed to fit. But why does everything that is supposed to feel wrong, feel so right for once in my life?

I'm still searching for him, but I have brothers and Angels to look out for, too. Especially one particular Angel. My Angel. Arlo. We have one thing in common. Dex.

But now, we both have a piece of ourselves missing. And Arlo's piece is bigger than mine. He lost his twin. His pride and joy. His everything. Dex always told me to look out for Arlo when he was gone because he had a soft heart, and a 'sensitive empath card,' as he called it. And looking out for Arlo landed me in prison for two years.

Until he asked me on a date, and when I tried to find him before our game against each other-the night of our supposed date-I heard him. I heard him say that he'd never date him-me-in any reality. It was a ploy, and I thought better of him. Until I couldn't. Now, I'm confused. Because his actions don't seem that of someone who didn't care. Did I get something wrong?
