Millicent Edwards thought she had it all figured out. Graduate college, land a dream job in publishing, and live happily ever after. Instead, she's unemployed, dodging her ex, and binge-watching her friends succeed on social media.
Enter SUNBURNED - the addictive new game that promises to be her escape. As MilliVanilli, she dives into a pixelated paradise where everyone's hot and reality fades away. But when she connects with the mysterious Blue, Millicent finds herself playing a dangerous game of digital cat and mouse.
Flirty chats turn to late-night calls, and Millicent starts to wonder if she's finally found someone who gets her. But in a world where avatars lie and "IRL" is just another screen name, can she trust her heart to someone she's never met?
When Blue and her have a falling out, Millicent's virtual heaven crashes. Forced to face reality, she lands her first real job, ready to leave SUNBURNED behind.
There's just one problem: Blue isn't just a username anymore.
Now, Millicent must navigate office politics, unresolved feelings, and the blurred lines between virtual and reality. Can she find love and success in the real world, or will she get SUNBURNED trying?

"Yuh can steal mi heart, or yuh can steal mi money... but yuh can't do both." Ava Jones, a straight-A college student from Chicago, thought her life was all mapped out: graduate, get a job, pay off her debts. But when a devastating medical bill for her little sister threatens to bury her family, she makes a desperate choice: take a "virtual assistant" job for a charming, mysterious investor from Jamaica. Kai is everything she didn't know she wanted. His voice is like honey over the phone, his texts make her blush, and his promises of a future together feel too good to be true. He's building an empire, he says, and he wants her by his side. As the lines between business and pleasure blur, Ava ignores the red flags-the excuses for not video calling, the small transfers she has to make "for fees," the way he says her name like a prayer. She's falling hard, sending him more than just her heart... she's sending her savings. But when a cynical but handsome local detective starts asking questions, Ava is forced to face the terrifying truth: the man of her dreams might be a nightmare in disguise. Now, caught between a lie and a hard place, she must decide-is she a victim of a scam, or a willing participant in a dangerous game of love and lies? #jamaicanscammer #badboy #forbiddenlove #wattpadromance #dramatic #kingston #catfish #romancenovelComplete
