Blue Moon (Blackwood Security Book 18)Romance · Elise Noble
You know what they say about showbiz? They love to build you up, and then they tear you down.
Luna Maara never wanted to be a star, but by the time she realised she hated the limelight, she was in too deep. Sold out concerts, fans screaming her name on the street, memes going viral whenever parts of her fell out of a costume. Oh, and stalkers. Don't forget the stalkers. The latest one calls himself Mark Antony, and he sends her lasagne and…dog treats?
Most people think she has it all—the fame, the money, the luxurious lifestyle. But under the facade, there's nothing but an empty shell. Everyone close to her lies, or takes advantage of her, or both. Her family, her friends—she can't trust anyone. Not even Ryder. Somehow, her former bodyguard's betrayal hurt most of all.
Former SEAL Ryder Metcalfe never meant to fall in love again, but during a nightmare trip to the Caribbean, a prickly pop princess wormed her way under his skin. And then she ditched him. Which was his own fault, and also his biggest regret. He can't turn back the clock. He can't change fate.
But somebody else can.
When Luna's scared, there's only one person to call. Only one man she trusts, with her body if not with her heart. Mark Antony might gift Ryder a second chance, but he's determined the star-crossed couple won't get a third.
