An Instant USA TODAY Bestseller!
A PR partnership between a pop superstar and a pro-athlete bad boy turns into so much more in this swoony romance from the acclaimed author of When I Think of You.
Ella Simone’s popstar life is what dreams are made of. Her eight year marriage to renowned music producer, Elliot Majors, has helped garner the hits, awards, and adoring fans to prove it. But when Ella tires of Elliot's many infidelities, she decides to fight for her independence despite the ironclad prenup that threatens her career.
To help her case, Ella is under strict orders to stick to The Plan: no headlines, no rumors, no rocking the boat. But this strategy is thrown a curveball after an awards show wardrobe snafu and quick rescue by Miles Westbrook, MLB’s most eligible player, sends the tabloids into a frenzy. Amid tricky divorce proceedings, Ella’s magnetic connection with the charismatic pitcher might just be her downfall.
Now the pressure is on to turn a scandal into an opportunity and give their teams what they want: a picture-perfect performance that will shore up both Ella and Miles' reputations. But as the lines between reality and PR begin to blur, Ella will either stick to the choreographed life she knows so well, or surrender to a love that could set her free.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Ariel (When I Think of You) brings big emotions in this captivating celebrity romance. R&B superstar Ella Simone may have been plucked from obscurity by her narcissistic music-producer husband, Elliot Majors, but she's finally had enough of his philandering and, despite the weight of his punitive prenup hanging over her head, she files for divorce. It's a perfect time for her to meet L.A. Dodgers star pitcher Miles Westbrook, with whom she co-presents an award at the Grammys. Miles, who handles Ella's last minute backstage wardrobe malfunction like a total gentleman, is immediately charmed by her—but Elliot, who encourages the tabloids to have a field day with the pair's "partially nude" meet cute, uses their connection to sway public discourse around the divorce in his favor. Ella's team fights back, pairing Ella and Miles to promote both Miles's charity foundation and Ella's latest music video. As Ella and Miles grow closer in public and private, her divorce proceedings turn increasingly nasty. Will Elliot's machinations be enough to push this budding couple apart? Ariel's fierce heroine inspires instant loyalty, and she crafts a worthy hero in Miles. The pair's complicated connection is leavened with humor from the robust supporting cast. This peek into the perils and pleasures of fame is a winner.
