Sand in my toes, wind in my hair, and my friends by my side . . . What more could I ask for?
Princess came to LA to make something of herself, to share her music, and find real love . . . She's got an amazing squad of friends and a certain blue-eyed man who she can't get out of her head. With a new single just released, everyone wants a piece of her: party invitations, paparazzi, and custom couture dresses abound. She's living her California dream.
But Hollywood isn't exactly what she thought it would be. Behind closed doors, there's lies and loneliness disguised by smiles and laughter. It's hard to know who to trust, or what's fake and what's real. Princess just wants success―on her own terms―but needs to make sure she doesn't lose herself in the process.
This juicy debut novel by international recording artist Pia Mia is an intimate, insider peek at the ups and downs of fame in the music industry, told from the point of view of an up-and-coming pop star.

The Girl the Billionaire Lost
Eight years ago, Liam Alcaraz walked out of Mia Villaruiz's life without a backward glance, leaving her with nothing but a shattered heart, unanswered questions, and the memory of the boy who once made her believe in forever. Now, Liam is one of the youngest, most powerful, and most desired CEOs in the country. And Mia? She is no longer the quiet, outcast girl he once dismissed. She is the number one passer of the bar exam, a corporate lawyer whose name alone makes seasoned executives sweat. Fearless, sharp, and impossible to intimidate. When fate brings her into Liam's boardroom, his billion-dollar empire becomes the biggest case of her career and her toughest challenge. Vale, the firm's respected senior partner, makes it clear that if Mia can take on Liam Alcaraz and win, securing him as their new big client, she will earn her place as the youngest partner in the firm. But boardroom battles are not the only thing waiting for them. Because every heated exchange is laced with tension that makes breathing difficult. Every glance lingers too long. Every accidental touch threatens to awaken something they both tried to bury. Liam is determined to prove he is no longer the boy who broke her. Mia is determined to show him she is no longer the girl he left behind. But in a world where pride is power and desire is dangerous, old wounds reopen, truths begin to surface, and the line between love and hate slowly disappears. Because some temptations are impossible to resist. And some hearts never truly let go.
