Synopsis
His childhood best friend showed up…and started taking her place. Serena Watts thought she had it all—a thriving acting career, a little sister she’d do anything to protect, and a solid relationship with action star Hudson Holt. Their love had survived long-distance shoots, flashing cameras, and grueling schedules. Until his female bestie moved to Hollywood after a bad breakup, becoming Hudson’s constant shadow. Now Serena’s heart is breaking under every dismissed hurt that Hudson refuses to see. And when he finally realizes all the damage his fake friend caused, it might be too late to grovel his way back.
