Coming in 2027!
Elise Montclair has spent her entire life being observed. As the face of Liora Global Beauty, she’s photographed everywhere she goes, managed by an ambitious mother, and expected to smile through it all. The public thinks they know her, but almost no one sees the woman behind the campaigns.
Jade Ananda prefers to go unnoticed. A highly trained tactical driver, she’s built a career on staying calm under pressure, keeping her emotions in check, and never getting personally involved.
After a paparazzi incident leaves Elise needing a temporary driver, Jade is brought in for what should be a straightforward assignment. Instead, long hours on the road, quiet conversations between appearances, and an impulsive night in Tokyo blur the line between professional and personal.
Falling for each other would be complicated enough. But with cameras following Elise’s every move, Jade determined to keep her professional reputation intact, and everyone else convinced the relationship is a mistake, they’re forced to ask how much they’re willing to risk for something that was never supposed to happen.
