Breaking the Shadow

Darcy Kingsley has always lived in the shadow of her three older brothers, all famous actors. As the youngest sibling in a family where the spotlight never seemed to dim, Darcy yearns to carve out her own identity-and follow her dream of becoming an actress. But when she leaves her life in London behind to attend NYU, Darcy is faced with an unexpected challenge: how to be seen as herself and not just "the famous Kingsley sister."

Living in New York is everything Darcy imagined-fast-paced, thrilling, and full of possibility-but it's also overwhelming. She's constantly wondering if people like her for who she is, or just for her family name. When she meets Hayden, a magnetic, effortlessly cool guy who seems to catch everyone's eye-including hers-Darcy is thrown off balance in ways she's not used to. For the first time, she feels the kind of nervous excitement she's never experienced before.

Surrounded by a new group of friends-each with their own dreams, struggles, and secrets-Darcy begins to learn what it really means to chase her own dreams in a city that never stops. But when her past and her brothers' fame inevitably catch up with her, Darcy must decide if she can prove to the world-and to herself-that she's more than just a name.
