Unravel:
Dan Teller's Story
Olivia Rose is Hollywood’s newest obsession, fresh off a messy public breakup with her Crossfade co-star and determined to focus on her rising career. Dan Teller is more than she realizes. A reckless rockstar reputation, yes. But it hides someone loyal and determined to prove he can be more than just a one-night stand.
Temptation:
Ashley Sanchez's Story
Ashley Sanchez is the sharp and cunning Social Media, Marketing, and PR Manager for the Hartgrave Tellers. But when her career, her passion, her past, and her present collide, she finds herself caught in a high-stakes race to stop the scandal to end all scandals.
Heart Beats:
Max William's Story
Max invites Ali to tag along on the Revelations World Tour, but when she starts a relationship with the tour photographer, Max is more than a little upset.
Determined to make Ali jealous, he starts a fake relationship with Stacy Kato, the up-and-coming tennis star he hooked up with after the Wembley show. Stacy needs a boost to her public profile, and he desperately needs a distraction.
It should be simple.
Through the Glory and the Mess is a beautifully raw and powerful story that blends music, fame, and love into an unforgettable journey. Emma and Liam’s connection is electric you can feel the tension and emotion radiating off every page, both onstage and off. I really appreciated how Aya Winter didn’t just focus on the glitz of fame but also the pain, manipulation, and struggles that come with it.
