When Jaxsper Finn's best friend secretly submits him to a reality show, he expects six weeks of awkward coexistence with three famous brothers. What he doesn't expect is Taylor-charming, vulnerable, and just as trapped by the cameras as Jaxsper is.
As their connection deepens under constant surveillance, Jaxsper discovers that reality TV is anything but real. Every moment is filmed, edited, and packaged for consumption. And when their secret relationship threatens Taylor's career and the show's storyline, Jaxsper faces an impossible choice: protect what they have by fading into invisibility, or fight for visibility in a world that isn't ready to see them.
Set in the year 2000, this is a story about privacy, performance, and the price of being seen-or choosing not to be.
I really want to hear from you. Please :)

This book is a companion to my books Without a King and Wanderlust. This is for anyone who, like me, enjoys extra details about fictional worlds. Updates will happen sporadically, simply because I don't want to spoil anything that is revealed at strategic times during the books. However I will assume that anyone checking this out is up to date with the novels. It will include information like maps, world history, notes about different cultures, mythology, and anything else I have created that I think people might find interesting!
Banging on the ceiling with a broom
This story is MXM as well as humour, if you don't like the genre then please move on. Thanks ☺️ ****** Dave lives in a flat, a nice flat, a posh flat, if having neighbours that were several tax brackets up from you was considered posh, a decent-ish job and a best mate called Tony who turns up whenever he feels like it. The one thing he DIDN'T have however was his sanity and a decent night's sleep more than twice a week. "AH AH AAAAAAH PORTIAAAAAAAA MY DAAAAARLING, YES YES YES"....... Thump thump thump. "TARQUIN, ON YES TAAAAAAARQUIN DAAAAAARLING".......... Thump thump thump. Glaring up at the ceiling and the crack that seemed to just grow steadily, Dave swore...... "SHUT THE F*CK UP". His upstairs neighbours may be snooty but they can't keep their pants on for five minutes. ***** "Have you tried banging on the ceiling with a broom"?. "Not helpful Tone" "Just a thought" ***** ©️ MysteriousEmber 2026 ****** Do not plagerise my work, I don't do it to others. This story is fiction, any similarities to real events is coincidence.
