About the Book

In NO ORDINARY LOVE, popstar Ella Simone has a life that others could only dream of. On paper, she is at the height of her music career and married to the perfect man, a renowned music producer who has helped her garner record hits, awards, and adoring fans. In reality, Ella is undergoing divorce proceedings with the powerful Elliot Majors after tiring of his many infidelities, only to the discover the ironclad prenup she signed when she was young and in love threatens to cost her the rights to all of her music, ending her career.

Ella is under strict orders from her lawyer to not rock the boat before finalizing her divorce—meaning no headlines, no rumors, and absolutely no romance—a plan that is thrown a curveball after an awards show wardrobe snafu puts her and Miles Wesbrook, MLB’s most eligible player, on the front page of the tabloids. After a messy divorce of his own and several headlines about his subsequent sexual exploits, Miles is just as eager to protect his reputation.

With the pressure to turn a scandal into an opportunity, Ella and Miles team up to give the picture-perfect performance of a lifetime. But as the lines between reality and PR begin to blur, Ella will either stick to the choreographed life she knows, or surrender to a love that could set her free.
