Summary

A Broadway actress has a chance at stardom when cast by a major Hollywood director, but the role of her dreams may cost her the love of a lifetime in this epic novel from "one of the finest romance writers of our age." (Entertainment Weekly)

For months I stood by, an understudy waiting in the wings, preparing for my time to shine. I never imagined he would watch in the audience that night.

Canon Holt. Famous film director. Fascinating. Talented. Fine.

Before I could catch my breath, everything changed. I went from backstage Broadway to center stage Hollywood. From being unknown, to my name, Neevah Saint, on everyone's lips when Canon casts me in a star-studded Harlem Renaissance biopic.

But stars shine brightest in the dead of night. Forbidden attraction, scandal and circumstances beyond my control jeopardize my dream. Could this one shot—the role of a lifetime, the love of a lifetime—cost me everything?

The absolute thing I love about this book is how much Kennedy can really make a love story to life as well as educate you at the same time. My mother in-law died from Lupus so this was all the more personal. This book truly is worth both a read and listen to especially the singing in parts❤️‍🔥 thank you Kennedy Ryan for your beautiful mind

Phenomenal

5 stars just isn’t enough!!!

The book spoilt me for any other. The audio just finished me off.

The performance by the narrators took the book to a whole new level. The emotions broke me a times.

I’m absolutely in awe of Kennedy, she blows me away each and every time!

This book sure left me Reeling, so many emotions, truly an all-the-feels read..... very poignant. This is an amazing story, with many layers and levels…..

Truly Epic!

What a tremendous love story we have been given.

Nothing in life ever comes easy....this sure didn’t!

From the off you fall in love with Neevah and Canon. Both go into this with heartbreak in their past. Both have put up walls to protect themselves. But when their paths cross the pull is something neither of them can ignore, try as they might, being professionals needs to be a priority, however priority’s change, especially when the health of that loved one is suddenly a risk


I didn’t think anything could come close to Maxim and Lennix for a love story, but this absolutely does. A story within a story: Neevah and Canon what a love story that is. Then we have Dessi’s story. On their own they would have been brilliant, but together, extraordinary!

Kennedy threw everything at us here and I think I’ve just about survived.

So many passages highlighted for heartwarming and heartbreaking dialogue!

You are just another level Kennedy! ❤️
