Freya mastered the art of pretending. Pretending home didn't hurt. Pretending she was okay. Pretending the weight in her chest didn't follow her everywhere. But when Malachi starts noticing the things she tries hardest to hide, Freya begins to wonder what it feels like to finally be seen.

Before the scandal. Before everything - there was a tour. The Descendants/Zombies Words Collide Tour gave the world something it didn't know it needed: Malachi Barton and Freya Skye sharing a stage, a spotlight, and something that looked dangerously like more. Fans lost their minds. Fralachi trended for weeks. Everyone was certain. Then the tour ended - and so did everything else. No more liked posts. No more late-night stories. Just silence, and the kind of distance that only means one thing. The rumors filled in the gaps fast. Malachi and Kylie Cantrall had been together since the start of the tour, apparently. A secret relationship, confirmed by someone who should have kept quiet. And the reason it ended? Malachi had been caught - with Malia Baker, Kylie's best friend, of all people. The photos made it real. The internet made it permanent. Freya never said a word. She didn't have to. Her EP, Stardust, said everything - at least that's what her fans believed. Golden Boy. Silent Treatment. Two tracks, one very obvious story. People moved on. Accepted Malachi and Malia. Let Fralachi become a what-if, a almost, a footnote. Until the Zombies 5 trailer dropped. There they were again - same orbit, same undeniable pull. But something had shifted. The easy chemistry was gone, replaced by something heavier, something unresolved. What really happened on that tour? And why does it still feel unfinished?

Freya Skye is a public relations (PR) sports major, and completely off limits. With a fresh broken heart, she's sworn off guys forever. After her ex, Josh Oliver, who broke her heart and left her in shambles, she has set herself to the standard, and she will never, EVER, even look in the direction of another hockey player. That is, until smug, sexy, and talented Malachi Barton meets her in the bathroom at his hockey house's victory party. What he thought was just another lonely puck bunny looking for a hookup, was a girl trying to mend her broken heart and be herself again. When Freya's PR professor assigns a project to rebrand a struggling campus organization, and of course, Freya gets stuck with the hockey team. The one thing she's been trying so hard to avoid. Now, stuck together and constantly getting in each other's ways, Freya and Malachi must learn to fight or give into this growing attraction between them. What starts out as a friends with benefits, no-strings-attached, hookup, slowly turns into something more. Something dangerous. And it scares the hell out of both of them. Will they let the lines blur or keep painting in a straight line down?

Malachi Barton and Freya Skye grew up with their parents being best friends therefore they are best friends.

Freya Skye came to college hoping for a fresh start-one where she could keep her head down, survive the nerves, and maybe, eventually, find where she belongs. She didn't plan on sharing a dorm. She definitely didn't plan on sharing it with Malachi. He's loud where she's quiet, calm where she's anxious, and somehow, from the very beginning, being around him just... makes things easier. What starts as a random roommate situation turns into late-night talks, shared routines, and a friendship neither of them expected-but both of them start to depend on. Before long, they're inseparable. And everyone notices. Between chaotic drop-ins from friends, constant teasing, and the growing feeling that there's something more between them, Freya and Malachi find themselves stuck in a space that isn't quite just friendship anymore-but isn't anything else yet, either. But behind Malachi's easy smile is something he doesn't let anyone see. Something he hides from everyone... except Freya. And as she becomes the one person he trusts in his worst moments, the line between "best friend" and "something more" starts to blur in ways neither of them know how to handle. Because when someone becomes your calm... losing them isn't an option.

Freya Skye enters Zombies 4 with a new boyfriend - Maxwell Turner, the blond British "golden boy" everyone adores. But behind the scenes, he's jealous, cold, and slowly tearing her down while she keeps building him up. Their breakup becomes the spark for every song she writes. After a time skip, the cast launches into a world tour... and everything gets messy. Sadly, our dear Kylie Cantrall is no good in this book. She dates Malachi Barton, but her jealousy over Freya - her talent, her glow, her connection with Malachi - pushes her into full petty mode. Freya tries to move on, Malachi tries to hide his feelings, Kylie spirals, and Maxwell returns at the worst possible moment. Backstage drama, heartbreak songs, jealousy, and a slow‑burn Fralachi spark that refuses to die.

𝐈𝐍 𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐂𝐇... Freya Skye became too famous to fall apart in public. And Malachi Barton became too good at pretending he was okay. Two years after a breakup that inspired an entire Stardust EP, the former golden couple are forced back together when they're cast in ZOMBIES 5 to reprise their roles as Nova and Victor. The internet calls it iconic. The cast calls it fate. Their fans call it the reunion of the century. Freya calls it a nightmare. Because now they have to act in love again. Stand too close again. Touch again. And worst of all- kiss again. But the more time they spend together under stage lights and cameras, the harder it becomes to remember why they ended in the first place. Especially when Malachi still looks at her like she hung the stars. Especially when Freya realizes she never really stopped loving him either. And especially when, moments before filming the kiss scene, Freya quietly asks the director if they can change it- only for Malachi to grab her waist, lean close enough to break, and whisper: "Please kiss me." ━━━ A messy, emotional, fame-filled second chance romance about first loves, heartbreak songs, panic attacks, jealousy, growing up in public, and trying to love each other correctly the second time around.
