Whispers Behind Red Lips

Lights Off Series #1

Fresh off a breakup with her awful ex, she'd drunk herself into a stupor to erase him from her mind. When she came to, she found herself in an unfamiliar bed, and there he lay, still sound asleep beside her. His hair was tousled, his features relaxed. Of all the people she could have woken up next to... she thought, her stomach twisting with a mix of embarrassment and anger.

He had no idea who she was, and she intended to keep it that way. She quietly gathered her clothes, slipped out the door, and rushed into the street---the moment her phone buzzed alive with frantic messages from her agent:"Photos of you with him are all over social media!"

She knows he's the industry's biggest star, adored by millions, polished to perfection for every camera lens. Just the thought of him makes her seethe with resentment. She hates him for calling her a mediocre actress who couldn't move people's hearts at all.
