Connor Harker has everything the world thinks he should want-fame, money, adoring fans. But when the cameras turn off, he's left with nothing but loneliness and the suffocating pressure to be perfect. One reckless escape from the spotlight changes everything.
Li Kim never asked to be dragged into a pop star's chaos. He just wanted coffee and a quiet walk, not a desperate kiss in the middle of a crowded street. Yet from that stolen moment, Alan finds himself tangled in Connor's glittering, dangerous world-a world of screaming fans, hungry tabloids, and secrets that could break them both.
As Connor fights between protecting his career and protecting his heart, and Li Kim struggles to trust a man who lives half his life behind a mask, a single truth becomes undeniable:
Love doesn't need a spotlight. It only needs two people willing to hold on.
