Coming Clean

Winner of the 2024 Stiletto Award for Best Long Contemporary Romance.

Diana "Di" Ho is a goth fashion designer struggling to make it in LA. After begging the Universe for a sign, she's answered by the narcissist hiding next door: A-list actor Darien Lee, known to his fans as "Prince Charming," or sometimes "Space Darcy." Both desperate for a distraction, the two find comfort in each other's arms. But when their night of passion is caught on camera, Darien's delicate PR situation means new revelations for Di, who's forced to work with Darien to cover up their mistake. She does, however, force him to pay her handsomely for it, a fact which Darien resents.

While kinda sorta hate-collaborating, they begin to realize that things are not as they seem, and there's more binding them together than a sizzling physical attraction. Soon they're caught in a patchwork of lies, and the only way out is to cut ties or come clean—to each other, the public, and themselves.

But does Prince Charming belong with a dark, moody princess, or was he never that sunny to begin with?
