*Book #1 in the Edgewater Series* Disgraced. 23 year old famous popstar Gracelyn "Grace" Matthews has maintained a near perfect image of her reputation; Perfect album releases, perfect tours, perfect lifestyle. A perfectly crafted illusion that shatters when Grace suddenly makes headlining news about an alleged affair with her executive music producer. To divert from the shocking revelation, Grace's manager, Catherine, sends her off to her hometown of Edgewater, the place Grace abandoned years ago, in an attempt to salvage her disgraced reputation and social status. However, when Grace arrives in Edgewater, she realizes that the hometown she once knew has become riddled with distrust to outsiders and the childhood home she grew up in is now being managed under the supervision of her former highschool bully, Julián Cortez. Grace can't stand the thought of being near Julián but the bad boy covered in tattoos who used to bully her has transformed into a man who Grace can't help but feel a connection towards, even if she wants to deny it. Excerpt: "You're not actually being serious, are you? There's no way I can go back there, Cat!" I relayed this news to Catherine, my manager who has been in charge of my career from the moment it took off, and she sighed heavily as her eyes held the truth behind her words, "You don't have a choice, Grace. It's either this or stay in LA to watch the end of your career." She had me there and she knew it too which is why, when I exhaled begrudgingly, Cat knew I was stuck in-between a rock and a hard place when the decision was made for me. "When do I leave for Edgewater?"
