Meredith Gellar is neurodivergent musician, but not talented when it comes to her fellow humans. Finding bandmembers to perform with was as easy as keeping everyone else at arm's length. It was easier still to lose herself in solitary hobbies but, nothing is simple about falling in love. 

A chance meeting--on the set of a London talk show--with a broodingly sexy actor overlaps her well-ordered world with his chaotic shadow of Fame, like an overarching Venn diagram. His enticing company comes laden with more risk than Merdith has ever faced. 

Can she learn to navigate Fame, Love and heartbreak--without losing herself in the process--or, do stars really shine brightest as they fall?

Notes: rated MA for sexual content, graphic language, drug references, alcohol use and references and intense situations. This is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to public figures and/ or celebrity figures is purely coincidental.

Falling for a Star (Complete) by ShellyWritesBooks

I had never paid much attention to celebrity gossip or what was going on in Hollywood because that was so far from the lifestyle I lived as a poor college student, working as a barista to save up for my own house after graduation. But then, without my knowledge, my Dad submitted my name into a talk show sweepstakes to win a week with Hollywood superstar Dylan Chase, to see what it's like to live like a celebrity for a week. My Dad thought it would be the perfect chance for me to get out of Iowa, see the world and have an adventure for once. I was dreading leaving home, flying for the first time and going by myself all the way to L.A. Plus the idea of spending a week with an arrogant, rich, snobby actor that was probably the worst kind of womanizer didn't sound like my idea of fun. What I found when I got there and met Dylan was the total opposite; a man that was humble, hard working, easy to talk to, and down to earth. Spending a week in Paradise in the guest house of Dylan Chase's Malibu mansion right on the beach, attending a movie premiere on his arm, shopping on Rodeo Drive and eating at five star restaurants was like a dream come true, but sleeping in his bed and falling for a guy from a completely different world than me was never part of the plan, because him and I could never end up together.

Our now sweaty bodies interlocked with each other as I lay on the soft mattress. My left hand in his hair, pulling lightly. My right on his strong bicep. My waist against his abs. My legs interlocked on his hips as I pulled him closer. His knees on bed. His left palm on my waist as he gently gives it a squeeze. His right palm next to my head, supporting his whole body.
