She thinks he's a monster. He thinks she's the best thing that's ever happened to him.
Lia has three rules: do flawless work, secure a permanent contract, and never let Fifth Pulse's golden leader see how much she despises him. He destroyed the woman who had treated Lia like a sister, and she will never forgive him for it.
Jin-woo can hear every thought within five meters. Right now, his new makeup artist is mentally debating whether a mascara wand or a pair of tweezers would make the more plausible murder weapon.
He should be terrified. Instead, he's biting his cheek to keep from laughing. Beneath her creative hostility, Lia's mind is brilliant, fiercely loyal, and more honest than anyone he's ever met. He knows the truth about the breakup, but he cannot defend himself without revealing his telepathy. The smart move would be to keep his distance. Yet every time she picks up a makeup brush, he finds himself leaning in. For years, he's worn headphones to keep the world out. Now he takes them off just to hear her.
Now he has an impossible mission: win her trust, clear his name without exposing his secret, and somehow convince the girl planning his funeral to rewrite it as a love story instead.
While this book is part of the Spotlight & Stars series, it features a complete, self-contained story and can be fully enjoyed as a standalone novel.
