------------------
When freelance journalist Khin Haymar is assigned by Vogue to get a scoop on Tyler Tun, Hollywood's hottest movie star, it's a dream come true. Tyler has returned home to Yangon to shoot his latest film, and if Khin gets an exclusive, she'll have a chance at securing a permanent position at the magazine.
Tyler is notoriously private and doesn't show any signs of letting down his walls. But then one night on set, a man follows Khin into the park. Just when things seem about to spiral out of control, Tyler steps in - saving her, but also igniting something between them neither can deny.
As Khin and Tyler work together to cover up their secret, sparks fly, and their blossoming connection crackles with undeniable chemistry and Khin's growing regret. The more time they spend together, the more Tyler reveals about himself layer by layer. And once they find out the attack may have been more than a horrible coincidence, Tyler's determination to help her leaves Khin feeling even more guilty about her developing exposé...
Before long, everything hangs in the balance. Will they get away with murder? Will Khin get her dream job? And is she actually willing to risk Tyler's trust in the process?

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The charm of Notting Hill butts up against the suspense of J.D. Robb in War's uneven debut. Khin Haymar, a freelance journalist in Yangon, Myanmar, is in a bad place after a messy divorce. She gets a chance to turn her life around when the editor-in-chief of Vogue Singapore offers her a job on staff if she can suss out secretive Hollywood heartthrob Tyler Tun's next move for a cover story. Media-trained Tyler is obviously hiding something, but before Khin can find out what, a drunk Australian stranger stumbles onto the set after their first meeting and assaults Khin—and Khin and Tyler accidentally kill him in self-defense. Tyler wants to go to the police, but Khin convinces him not to, arguing that their lives and careers will be ruined. But with the police continually showing up on set, and Khin's editor breathing down her neck, keeping any secret—let alone one this high stakes—grows steadily harder. The will-they-won't-they between the leads is gripping, but the story really shines in the ride-or-die friendships between Khin and her two best friends, Nay and Thidar, and between Tyler and his costar, May. Unfortunately, the otherwise lighthearted celebrity romance never quite gels with the murder plotline, creating a sense of tonal whiplash. This is a bumpy ride.
