Book Overview

After being rejected at a modeling audition, Ella finds herself full of doubts, but instead of giving up, she makes a bold and unexpected choice. She creates a profile on a subscription-based platform, where she shares artistic, sensual photos in exchange for support. It’s a job that pays more, drains less, and gives her space to study. But more than that, it becomes a way to reclaim her body, her image, her voice.

At its core, Secret in the Starlight is a story about identity, duality, creative self-expression, and the subtle battles we fight in silence. It’s about friendship, self-worth, slow-burn romance, and the blurry line between who we are and how the world chooses to see us.

Told entirely through Ella’s eyes, in a voice that’s emotional, vulnerable, sometimes humorous, sometimes raw. Secret in the Starlight is not a typical 200-page romance that rushes from meet-cute to chaos to happily-ever-after. There’s no billionaire boyfriend, no one-night-stand-to-soulmate twist. Instead, it’s the kind of novel meant to be felt slowly, like a late-night conversation you didn’t expect to stay in your head.
