*Book #1 in the Edgewater Series*


Disgraced. 

23 year old famous popstar Gracelyn "Grace" Matthews has maintained a near perfect image of her reputation; Perfect album releases, perfect tours, perfect lifestyle. A perfectly crafted illusion that shatters when Grace suddenly makes headlining news about an alleged affair with her executive music producer. 

To divert from the shocking revelation, Grace's manager, Catherine, sends her off to her hometown of Edgewater, the place Grace abandoned years ago, in an attempt to salvage her disgraced reputation and social status. However, when Grace arrives in Edgewater, she realizes that the hometown she once knew has become riddled with distrust to outsiders and the childhood home she grew up in is now being managed under the supervision of her former highschool bully, Julián Cortez. 

Grace can't stand the thought of being near Julián but the bad boy covered in tattoos who used to bully her has transformed into a man who Grace can't help but feel a connection towards, even if she wants to deny it.





Excerpt:

"You're not actually being serious, are you? There's no way I can go back there, Cat!" 

I relayed this news to Catherine, my manager who has been in charge of my career from the moment it took off, and she sighed heavily as her eyes held the truth behind her words, 

"You don't have a choice, Grace. It's either this or stay in LA to watch the end of your career." 

She had me there and she knew it too which is why, when I exhaled begrudgingly, Cat knew I was stuck in-between a rock and a hard place when the decision was made for me. 

"When do I leave for Edgewater?"

"It's not the pain that ruins us. It's the things we do to avoid that pain, you just need to face it." I tell him running my fingers through his wet hair. A fire ignites in his eyes and he pushes me off of him, my hand falling to my side. His jaw hardens and his nostrils flare. "Who are you to comment on my pain and what I should do with it? You think everyone doesn't have demons that they don't want to face? You think it's that easy right?" His voice raises an bit higher as he stares me down. "Yes, once you-" "Oh give it a break princess," he laughs cutting me off, "you think you see the world so clearly when in truth all you see is yourself!" A fire burns deep in my heart at his assumption, and I get up throwing the damp towel on the floor, "How can I see the world clearly when you've clouded my vision? All I see, hear and smell is you! And if I could only see myself, I'd see myself as a damn idiot for thinking you could be loved by me!" His eyes widen for a second before he blinks and turns away from me, facing the window. "Well that was a huge mistake on your behalf, loving a person who can't even love himself." ****** Anna Belonkzy, is a ruthlessly ambitious and a rather good-humored girl who loved books.

I turn around and look into his blue eyes, searching them. When I'm certain that he's not lying, butterflies erupt in my stomach and I gulp audibly. His fingers move from playing with the tips of my hair to my cheeks. I wrap my arms around his neck and pull him closer. His other hand moves from my waist to my jawline and he trails his thumb along my bottom lip. He pulls my face closer until I can smell his minty breath. His eyes close and so do mine. My head tilts to the side slowly and I feel his lips on mine. *** Natalie Bennett: a sassy 17-year-old, who, after leaving her home in Paris, starts at Lakewater high in America.
