Description

'Emma Rae's latest is full of sharp wit, emotional depth and undeniable sizzling chemistry.' Hannah Grace, author of Icebreaker. He's the world's most famous frontman. She couldn't care less. Lexi is only thirty years old, but is already an Oscar-winning documentary director. So when she is asked to ditch her current project to film the reunion tour of boy band Rebel Heart, she is disappointed. She didn't work this hard to follow a boy group on tour and document their every manufactured move for teenage fans. But after meeting Aidan, the unofficial 'head' of the band, something new stirs inside her. She thinks he's egotistical, entitled, and impulsive. Equally, Aidan thinks Lexi is high-strung, secretive, and emotionally devoid. Tensions rise, and as Lexi blends work and pleasure, she can't let go of her difficult past with the father that abandoned her. She doesn't expect people to stay in her life for long. Especially the lead of a boy band. But is this project about to prove all of her expectations wrong? A spicy enemies-to-lovers romance, for fans of Tessa Bailey and Ali Hazlewood. Readers are falling in love with Emma Rae: 'A mouth-watering read.' Laura Starkey 'The perfect spicy summer read...Emma's writing style is very enjoyable!
