Before the Encore

Bonnie’s pop career is hanging by a thread. The last person she wants to save it is Madison Moore-the infuriating, reckless frontwoman of the hot, rising rock band, Lipstick Fever. But when their labels insist on a collaboration, Bonnie has no choice but to grit her teeth, survive a week in the studio, and try not to murder the woman who seems determined to get under her skin. Madison has fought for every inch of her success, and helping a spoiled pop princess rebuild her career was never part of the plan. Still, winding Bonnie up is far more entertaining than she expected. If they create a hit along the way, even better. When their undeniable chemistry sends the internet into a frenzy, management sees an opportunity too good to waste. Fake dates, staged moments, endless headlines. Easy enough-as long as neither of them starts believing the act. But the more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to tell where the performance ends and the truth begins. Bonnie swore she’d never fall for a notorious womaniser, and Madison doesn’t do relationships. Not anymore. With old wounds refusing to stay buried and the spotlight burning hot, trusting each other may be the biggest risk of all. Is opening their hearts worth risking everything they’ve fought to protect, or will fame destroy their chance at love before it has the time to bloom?
