The Good at Goodbyes

The Becoming Series #1

Miciela lives her life in the quiet corners of a daydream. To her, love is a collection of scribbled notes and a face on a glowing screen. It was always safer to adore the famous Carter Yuan Morelli from a distance than to risk the sting of a real-world heartbreak. In her fantasies, nothing ever breaks, and no one ever leaves.

But the walls of her sanctuary crumble when a chance encounter pulls her into Carter's private world. Up close, the pedestal she built for him begins to crack. Behind the dazzling smiles and the roar of the fans, Miciela finds a man struggling to breathe under the suffocating weight of his own fame-someone far more broken and human than her daydreams ever allowed.

Caught between the idol she loved and the man she is getting to know, Miciela is forced to step out of the shadows. To save them both, she must trade her perfect scripts for a messy reality. She wasn't born with the strength to say goodbye to her fantasies; she earned it, learning that the most beautiful love stories aren't the ones we watch, but the ones we are brave enough to live.
