He’ll stop at nothing to give her the escape she desperately needs—even if it means losing her forever. Pop Princess Goes Berserk isn’t the headline Aria Paige-Grant ever wanted to read about herself. Unfortunately, it fits the daughter of rock star royalty to a T. When the paparazzi catch her in an epic public meltdown, her only saving grace is her best friend, Oscar Elliott. With his identity obscured by his gray hoodie, the man swoops in out of nowhere, throws her over his shoulder, and the pair disappear into the night. Sure, there’s chatter about her outburst. But the real gossip that’s got the world on pins and needles is whether she’ll make it to her last concert stop, and if she does, will she be accompanied by her mystery hooded protector? They’re good questions. Too bad she doesn’t have any answers. Aria won’t admit it, but she needs a break from the demands of celebrity life. That’s when Oscar takes matters into his own hands, calls in a favor, and orchestrates an escape. To be fair, it’s more of a half-cocked plan to keep the pop princess out of the public eye. He’ll stop at nothing to give her what she needs—well, what he thinks she needs—even if it forces him to play fast and loose with the truth. But when a lie takes on a life of its own , what started as a well-intentioned escape snowballs into an all-consuming attraction. Hidden away and unable to fight their feelings, Aria and Oscar dive into the friends-with-benefits end of the pool. Nothing counts when everything is on the down-low, right? Or does everything count when two hearts are on the line?
