Back of the Book Description:
"Polished & Popular" is a glittering collection of short stories from the dream reality of Marcellinea-a girl who has it all: the penthouse views, the perfect girlfriend, the glossy friend group, and a reputation as untouchably iconic.
But behind the curated Instagram feeds and designer sunglasses, there's more. These stories peel back the layers of a world where status is everything, loyalty can be slippery, and love sometimes feels like a performance. From sunlit brunches and chaotic sleepovers to quiet moments of doubt in marble bathrooms, each chapter offers a glimpse into the life everyone envies-but few truly understand.

Written in Stone (Heart of Stone: Book 3)
Paradise. The location. The work. The guy. Sophia Palmer has never been happier. After the craziest ten months of her life, she's enjoying the idyllic scenery of Costa Rica with the man of her dreams by her side. Volunteering at a turtle refuge, having endless sex, and relaxing in an infinity pool overlooking the Caribbean Sea -- nothing could possibly burst her bubble. Except maybe some overzealous fans, a slew of hatred on social media, and a viral recording of a past kiss with her famous boyfriend's equally famous best friend. * Euphoria. The fame. The fans. The girl. Ed Stone has been living life on a permanent high. He thought nothing could beat the buzz of singing in an arena full of adoring fans, or hitting number one in the charts, or finding that perfect lyric. Then Sophia Palmer entered his life ten months ago, and everything he thought he knew about happiness changed. No music-induced high can make his heart thump as fast as she does. He used to like the barrier that his stage persona provided, but when he's a squeaky-clean popstar who can do no wrong, his adoring fanbase is quick to vilify anyone who doesn't match up. Including his girlfriend. The solution? It's time for Teddy Stone to show the world a different side of him. * Content warnings: strong sexual content, strong language Sample: This is a sample.
