LONG GAME | GEORGE CLARKE

"Usually I make people sign an NDA."

"I won't tell if you won't."

Cecilia Vaughn is the world's biggest pop star, her latest album, Secrets, Sex & Lies, dominating the charts. To the world, she's untouchable-glamorous, confident, and endlessly desired. But behind the bright lights and sold-out stadiums, she numbs her pain with fleeting encounters, still haunted by the loss of her teenage sweetheart.

When a rising artist joins her European tour, Cecilia expects another temporary distraction. But then she meets his best friend, internet sensation George Clarke-a man who refuses to be just another name on her list. George sees past her carefully crafted image to the woman beneath. And he wants more than just a night.

But Cecilia's heart is still chasing a ghost. And some wounds don't heal under the spotlight.
