Ellie, a young woman just turning 18, has spent her entire life battling a terminal illness, confined to her home by overprotective parents who fear losing her. Despite her sheltered existence, Ellie harbors a remarkable secret: she is an internet sensation, a popular singer whose voice has captivated fans worldwide, all from the confines of her bedroom. Her identity, however, remains a mystery to all, even her most devoted followers.

Ellie's world is turned upside down when she discovers that someone is impersonating her on a music tour, lip-syncing to her songs and reaping royalties that rightfully belong to her. Driven by a desire to reclaim her identity and receive the recognition she deserves, Ellie makes the bold decision to run away from home.

On her quest, Ellie crosses paths with Max, a mysterious and resourceful young man who becomes her ally. Along with her best friend Adam, the trio faces a series of daunting challenges that test their resolve and commitment. 

Through this adventure, Ellie finds herself experiencing life in ways she never imagined-discovering new freedoms, forming deep connections, and uncovering a new sense of self. As she gets closer to confronting her imposter, Ellie is faced with a heart-wrenching decision: should she reveal her true identity to the world and embrace her dream, or continue to hide, knowing that her illness limits her ability to sustain her newfound life?

How far would you go to protect the ones you love? A successful architect with a promising career in London, Brian's world spins out of control when the man he always saw as a second father betrays him in the most unexpected way. Left without closure, a year has passed and Brian is now more determined than ever to undo the harm done to the ones he loves most, his family. Even if that means riding the thin line between justice, revenge, and obsession... Immersed in his resolve, finding love again was the last thing on his mind. Until fate steps in and a chance encounter changes everything. Meeting Olivia again so unexpectedly, at his best friend's wedding, stirs up memories he had long ago put away.

But it's been more than ten years since their story was left unfinished. Will they get one last chance to make things right? Or will Brian learn that sometimes justice comes at too high a price? *** NOTE TO READERS: A full-length, standalone contemporary romance, Where the Stars Fall was previously published on Wattpad as Falling Home.
