Being a pop star isn't all it's cracked up to be.

Since my career took off, my father has forced me to live by a very strict set of rules.

One: never tell anyone I hate being famous. Two: never put my happiness before my reputation. And, most importantly, three: never step foot in Maine again.

Unfortunately, my terrible listening skills have landed me in a house full of the ones that got away— romantic interests that should have stayed in the past:

Lucian Castillo, my hot-headed ex-boyfriend.

Sophia White, The world's sweetest ex-girlfriend.

Sebastian Castillo, Maine's leading homicide detective, and Lucian's younger brother.

And then there's Cameron Cole, the town preacher who left me with more than regret after a one-night stand.

I'm caught in a disaster of my own making. And the shadowy secrets hiding in the sleepy town of Hartwood, Maine are threatening to eat me alive. Luckily, this situation is supposed to be temporary.

But will I really be able to leave them all behind once the case is solved?

Being the good guy doesn't come easily when the world wants you to be evil.

Ive always dreamed of being a hero: saving lives, inspiring children, basking in the accolades of an adoring public. To achieve my lofty goals, I need a sparkling reputation. Unfortunately, I have to contend with my fathers legacy as the world's most feared villain.

That's where she's supposed to come in.

Callie Voltaris,the almost-powerless daughter of my father's former nemesis. Callies mother sees me as a charity project; if her daughter can clean up my reputation, itll be a major win for the Voltaris dynasty of heroes.

But will Callie be able to cleanse the darkness that clings to me like a shadow?
