The Back of the Line

"I don't care if you're the King of England or a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In here, you're just a guy who needs to get in line."

Julian Hayes is used to the world bowing at his feet. As an international pop star, award-winning actor, and fashion mogul, his life is a carefully orchestrated PR machine managed by his ruthless assistant and his status-obsessed parents. He doesn't do "normal," and he certainly doesn't do waiting.

Maya Lin doesn't have time for celebrities. Between drowning in college coursework, covering her parents' mounting debt, and working grueling shifts to pay for her little brother's tutoring, she's running on fumes and espresso. Her only focus is survival-until an arrogant, sunglass-wearing VIP decides to cut her massive morning line at the cafe.

Maya doesn't recognize him. She just sees another entitled jerk. So, she does the unthinkable: she points to the door and tells him to wait his turn.
Julian is furious. His ego is bruised. But as he storms off to his hidden limousine, he realizes one terrifying thing: he can't get the fiery, exhausted barista out of his head. In a world where everyone says "yes" to him, Julian is instantly captivated by the only girl who dared to say "no."

What starts as a bruised ego soon spirals into a viral PR disaster, a high-stakes fake-dating contract, and a chaotic collision of two completely different worlds. But when the flashing cameras fade and the real feelings start to show, will their unscripted romance survive the harsh reality of the spotlight?
