One guy, one girl. One in the spotlight. One in the shadows.Falling in love with your best friend isn’t always a great idea, especially when he’s Noah Lockton - the sexiest, most famous new talent on the planet. When 21-year-old small-town photographer Chloe Campbell is offered the chance of a lifetime – to join her celebrity childhood friend Noah on tour as an exclusive blogger – she’s certain both have put what happened four years ago behind them. But his eyes still burn; his voice is still a jackhammer to her heartstrings; all his songs are about her. Is it possible that that night still haunts them both? The music industry is a machine, spinning hype and rumors as much as his records. It’s not just Noah’s girlfriends who’ve got it in for Chloe (there’s no stopping the Twitter-obsessed, cat-loving pop-star Courtney Lentini for starters). Pretty soon, the jealousy and media frenzy surrounding these so-called-friends takes a life-changing turn and it seems making love means making enemies at every turn. When tragedy threatens to pull the final curtain on their relationship, both Chloe and Noah must make a choice. As much as this world leaves them starstruck, is living their dream really worth living without each other?

“What if we can’t chooseEvery battle we win and loseWhat if we decided years before, to live this life, to fight these warsAnd all the dreams we ever thought were oursWere written in the stars”Waiting tables isn't exactly what singer/songwriter Stephanie has in mind for her move to Nashville, but memories of the past and a case of writer’s block mean inspiration isn’t coming easy. When brooding pianist Conor Judge opens his mouth in a smoky bar he proves music can heal, and even help you re-write your story, but a history of his own means the one thing he starts to want most is always just out of reach. Stephanie. Enter Travis Flynn - an upcoming star who won’t take no for an answer, and a record label intent on helping Stephanie shine, without Conor. As fame comes knocking as hard as the ghosts of their pasts, it soon becomes clear that no matter how hard you might fall in love, having the perfect songs doesn’t always mean perfect harmony.**Warning: this new adult book contains graphic language, sex and mature situations. Not intended for young adult readers.**PRAISE FOR BEFORE HE WAS A SECRET"Altogether a bit 'meatier' than the former Starstruck titles, but I enjoyed it as much for being that. So Becky Wicks strikes again! Another book to add to your rainy day/summer beach reading list. "If it doesn't break our hearts it isn't love." - Goodreads "A great story,mixing the past with the present but never once confusing. Seeing what this book was about I didn't expect Conor's history to be what it was. Sweet light read that you will enjoy!" - Goodreads"Its a great read, full of people that feel genuine, and I absorbed that small town music atmosphere that Nashville ought to feel. It made for a well connected story, where what happened felt very realistic, and I could imagine it and feel myself there with the characters. " - Goodreads"Between Connor and Stephanie, the attraction is immediate ... But all is not so simple ... Exes, jealousy, religion, fame ... Life... Becky you did it again!! U rock!!" - Goodreads"This is such a great story about friendship, love, standing on your own, and believing in yourself." - GoodreadsTake a look inside by clicking the cover!
