When It's Real

From a #1 New York Times bestseller, "page-turning romance about an unlikely couple who overcomes the glare of the public eye . . . addictive summer reading" (Publishers Weekly).

Under ordinary circumstances, Oakley Ford and Vaughn Bennett would never even cross paths.


There's nothing ordinary about Oakley. This bad-boy pop star's got Grammy awards, millions of fangirls and a reputation as a restless, too-charming troublemaker. But with his home life disintegrating, his music well suddenly running dry and the tabloids having a field day over his outrageous exploits, Oakley needs to show the world he's settling down—and who better to help him than Vaughn, a part-time waitress trying to help her family get by? The very definition of ordinary.


Posing as his girlfriend, Vaughn will overhaul Oakley's image from troublemaker to serious artist. In return for enough money to put her brothers through college, she can endure outlandish Hollywood parties and carefully orchestrated Twitter exchanges. She'll fool the paparazzi and the groupies. She might even start fooling herself a little.


Because when ordinary rules no longer apply, there's no telling what your heart will do . . .
