There's not a soul on the planet who isn't familiar with Justin Bieber. But what most people don't know is that Justin has a secret. That secret has been carefully guarded by Kelly Tanner, Justin's "media liaison." Her job is to schedule interviews and keep track of what people are saying on the internet, all while making sure no one ever finds out what happened to Justin and his wife.

Everything Kelly does is precise and calculated. She can read people's body language and always thinks 10 steps ahead. Nothing she does is without reason. But it's only a matter of time before Justin starts to slip between the real Kelly and her carefully constructed appearance. No matter what she does, Kelly can't shake her feelings for him - even though he's a happily married man. When it comes to protecting secrets, she's a professional, but when it comes to protecting her heart will she be as lucky?

“I know,” she smiles and I feel instantly stupid for saying it. Of course she knows. She’s his wife.
