In this crossover novel, La Jill Hunt introduces us to a new, memorable cast of characters with appearances from a few other familiar faces.

Two years ago, aspiring model Devyn was on the fast track to success and living her best life as D’Morgan. She was engaged to a rising hip-hop star, mentored by one of the world’s biggest supermodels, and the center of attention for thousands of adoring fans and followers. Then, it all came tumbling down, and in a matter of minutes, she lost everything she loved—and more. Now, D’Morgan no longer exists, and the spotlight is the one thing Devyn has managed to avoid.
 
Corporate event-planner Asha is Devyn’s best friend and has been by her side through everything: the good and bad, ups and downs, and highs and lows. Whatever Devyn needs, Asha is there for her. When Asha discovers an opportunity for Devyn to use her runway talent in a new direction, she doesn’t hesitate to guide her best friend on a new path and purpose in life and love.
 
As fate would have it, Devyn is once again thrust in the public eye and facing the demons of her past. Can Asha balance helping her best friend while dealing with her own drama? Will Devyn find the strength to stand on her own finally? Or will the friendship they’ve built be destroyed by the secrets they’re hiding?
La Jill Hunt is a native of Mobile, AL who burst onto the literary scene in 2003 with her debut novel, Drama Queen. The memorable characters she created and the entertaining stories she told quickly drew bestselling success and a following of fans, young and old. Although known for her urban chick-lit novels, she has also contributed to the street anthology series Around the Way Girls, and penned an urban romance, Another Sad Love Song. Her erotic short story, Catch 22, is currently available as a digital download. Currently residing in Virginia Beach, La Jill enjoys spending time with her daughters, family, and friends.
