Twenty-six-year-old Emily Carter has spent her entire life wishing she belonged somewhere else. When a strange night leaves her waking up in 1979 as a young Hollywood actress with a life she never lived, she discovers she's been given something impossible: a second chance. As memories of her old life clash with the new one, Emily finds herself swept into the glittering world of fame, music, and endless possibility. But nothing compares to meeting the person she's admired her whole life-a young Michael Jackson on the brink of superstardom. Emily knows what's coming. The records. The fame. The heartbreak. The loneliness. And the more time she spends with him, the harder it becomes to stand by and watch history unfold. Caught between the future she remembers and the past she's beginning to love, Emily must decide whether changing fate is worth risking everything-including the life and love she never expected to find. Because some stories are written in time. And some are worth rewriting.

Entre cámaras, canciones y secretos, nadie imaginó que Michael Jackson escondía un amor que nunca pudo mostrar. Pero cuando la fama, la prensa y las obligaciones se interponen, amar podría costarles todo.

Michael was used to the loud bustling noise of a pre-concert rehearsal. He was used to seeing new faces at every destination he toured to. Nothing stayed consistent around him, not even the people around him. Except for Charlotte. She was one of the only constants in his life. He had ensured that wherever he went, she would follow. Their breaths tangled within one another as they breathed heavily. She whispered the words, "I can't just leave my home for months at a time to follow you around the world, Michael. I have a good job here, I have responsibilities-" Michael interrupted her with a gentle smile. "Quit your job then, Lottie" he shrugged innocently, "Come work for me" The coverage of the unexpected duo was shown all over America's TVs and newspapers.

Some girls are soft sunshine. Madeleine Cross was moonlight. Beautiful in a way that made people stare too long. Untouchable in a way that made people want to try anyway. Behind her sharp tongue, glamorous life, and haunting blue eyes is a girl still trying to survive the kind of childhood that leaves scars no one can see. Hollywood taught her how to become desired. Loneliness taught her how to become dangerous. Then she meets someone who sees through every carefully built wall. And for the first time in her life, Madeleine has to decide whether love is worth the risk of being destroyed by it.

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 never died at all?

Un trabajo, solo eso era. Dos niños, una mansión, una rutina. Algo sencillo. Algo profesional. Algo que definitivamente no iba a complicarse.
