What happens when two people who can't stand each other have to pretend they're in love?
A Summer of Stars by Liana Cincotti is a contemporary romance built around fake dating, enemies-to-lovers tension, celebrity life, tennis, and a summer spent under the spotlight.
After a messy breakup damages tennis superstar Luna Aldridge's reputation and threatens her career, her team proposes a publicity relationship with Hollywood's golden boy, Kieran Alexander. There's just one problem—they absolutely cannot stand each other.
As Luna and Kieran pose for cameras, attend red carpets, travel around the world and spend more time together, their carefully staged relationship starts feeling increasingly real. With their careers and hearts on the line, they must figure out where the performance ends and genuine feelings begin.
