When superstar Kade Hendrix steals Ivy's song, she falls into his world of public scrutiny-and his arms-just as the rest of her world falls down around her. Ivy is sure superstar Kade Hendrix won't notice his number one fan in the crowd of his intimate concert, but what happens when her childhood idol begins singing one of her songs that she submitted for his consideration--and pretends that he was the one who wrote it... There's a reason they say never meet your heroes. *** Ivy Bennett is just trying to get over her crush on her off-limits guy best friend when she is forced into superstar Kade Hendrix's world of managers, publicists, stylists, Non-Disclosure Agreements and intrusive paparazzi--all because he decided to steal the songwriting credits to what is proving to be his biggest hit of all time. Coaxed into a flimsy alliance where she takes a job as his primary co-writer, Ivy and Kade are caught up in a whirlwind of emotions--most of them hate--but somewhere along the way, romantic lines are blurred and Ivy isn't too sure that crush she had on Kade ever really went away. Will Ivy forgive and forget the terrible behavior of the one person who was her inspiration for writing in the first place, or have the bridges already been burned? Follow Ivy and Kade on their journey from strangers to enemies to something neither of them can put into words in his world of extremes in the spotlight.

*WATTYS 2016 GEWINNER* DER 1. TEIL DER VERURTEILTEN-REIHE! _________________________________ ,,Schon als ich ihn das aller erste Mal gesehen hatte, wusste ich, dass er mein Ende sein würde. Meine Brust hatte sich schmerzhaft zusammengezogen, mein Atem hatte gestockt. Ich spürte, wie alles in mir versuchte, von ihm weg zu kommen. Es gab nur ein einziges Problem: Ich wusste nicht warum. Seine nachtschwarzen Augen hafteten an meinen und wagten es nicht für einen Moment, sich abzuwenden. Alles um mich herum schien still geworden zu sein. Alles schien mir diesen Augenblick zu schenken. Den Augenblick vom Anfang des Endes.'' Ein Verurteilter und die Tochter des Königs - Er war ihr Ende. Doch sie war sein Anfang. (Die Rechte an den Bildern liegen nicht bei mir.)
