The Encore Effect

To the world, Freya Skye is the untouchable princess of pop vocals: poised, talented, and fiercely private. Malachi Barton is the industry's golden boy: an actor, a musician, and the charming heartthrob adorning every teenager's wall.

On camera, they are the perfect pair. Off camera, they haven't spoken a genuine word to each other in two years.

A shared past, buried under NDAs and bitterness, turned them from childhood best friends into silent rivals. But when their respective management teams realize that merging their star power for a massive, co-headlining world tour is the only way to save both their struggling careers, Freya and Malachi are forced into the ultimate performance: pretending they don't hate each other.

Trapped on tour buses and shared hotel floors, the script begins to fray. As the pressure mounts and old wounds reopen, they realize the only thing harder than faking a romance for millions of fans is denying the very real, terrifying electricity that still sparks when the stage lights go down.

They have 80 cities to fake it till they make it or burn the whole stage down trying.
