[SLOW BURN] It is 2006. The trial is over, but Michael Jackson has locked himself in a prison of his own making. He is completely isolated, deeply guarded, and wholly disgusted by the press. He refuses to speak to anyone-until Maeve Carter. Maeve is Europe's most ruthless and respected journalist, and she doesn't care about tabloid garbage. She is flying to New York with one goal: get the interview, secure the massive bonus, and pay for her mother's life-saving cancer treatments. It was supposed to be a simple transaction. But when the doors to the penthouse lock, the King of Pop is nothing like the broken man the media painted. He is sharp, intimidating, and looking for a challenge. And Maeve is the first person in years who isn't afraid to give him one. #1 - mj #1 - kingofpop #1 - moonwalker #1 - mjj #1 - michaeljosephjackson #93 - fanfic

They say everyone has a soulmate, a person who speaks your secret language and mirrors your rarest quirks. But what happens when your 'perfect match' is the most famous person to ever walk the earth? Can a bond built on shared eccentricities withstand the weight of the King of Pop's crown? Or will the reality of being "just you" in the shadow of a giant be too much to bear?

Michael Jackson has spent his life surrounded by crowds, cameras, and the weight of being the world's most recognized performer. But everything shifts when he meets Ella-a quiet, guarded young girl who has already lived through more pain than her age should allow. Behind her silence is a need for safety, and behind his guarded perfection is a longing for something real. When their worlds collide, what begins as an unexpected responsibility slowly turns into something deeper: trust, protection, and a bond neither of them planned for. As legal battles, custody decisions, and public scrutiny threaten to pull them apart, Michael makes a choice that changes everything-he brings Ella into his life, his home, and eventually, his world on tour. But life under the spotlight is never simple. Between stadium lights and hotel rooms, school lessons on the road, and the pressure of fame, Ella must learn what it means to feel safe again-while Michael learns what it means to be more than a performer, but a protector and father figure.

Book #1 of The Last Encore Series. Thalia Rahman preferred history to people. Working quietly in the archives beneath a London museum was predictable, organised, and safe-exactly how she liked her life. Then one night she finds a man in the restricted storage room. A man who looks exactly like Michael Jackson. Not an impersonator. Not a conspiracy theorist. The real Michael Jackson. Alive, terrified, and with almost no memory of what happened after 2009. At first, Thalia is convinced she's losing her mind. But when strange files begin disappearing from the archives, anonymous phone calls start following her home, and evidence surfaces linking her late brother to a secret project known only as Encore, she realises something far bigger is happening. Now Thalia, Michael, her chaotic roommate Lily, an eccentric tech archivist named Josh, and an increasingly stressed Chris Tucker are thrown into a dangerous search for the truth. One involving hidden facilities, stolen records, archive break in, fake identities, and a conspiracy powerful enough to erase people completely. The problem? None of them are remotely qualified for any of this. Especially not Michael, who keeps accidentally using his real name during undercover missions. Funny, emotional, mysterious, and occasionally unhinged, this story explores grief, friendship, found family, and what it means to finally be seen as a person instead of an icon. And somewhere beneath all the chaos lies one impossible question: What if the world's most famous ghost came back after all?
