SUMMARY: Eden Sands has been a star for twenty years, but it’s lonely at the top. The stage is the only place she’s ever felt like she truly belonged, and yet, her career is flagging. Anna Moss is pop music’s rising star. She’s idolized Eden Sands for most of her life—so it’s a dream come true when she’s invited to perform with her at the Grammys.

As Anna and Eden rehearse, they soon realize they have more in common than their musical talents.
