Summary
As Helen picks up her drink and offers the blonde a small, deliberate tilt of her glass for a toast, the movement catches the light. A flash of silver gleams on her hand—a polished wedding band, paired with a marquise-cut diamond ring on her ring finger.
The blonde’s gaze lingers for a fraction longer than she intends, the realization settling in as the glass meets Helen’s in a soft, controlled clink.
“Married?” the blonde asks, a smirk tugging at the corner of her lips.
“Not if you don’t want me to be,” Helen replies evenly, her gaze steady over the rim of her glass, a faint, knowing smirk mirroring the one the blonde had just worn.
The blonde extends her hand toward the redhead. “Madeline Ashton,” she says, her voice smooth as she offers a confident smile.
The redhead takes it without hesitation, her grip firm. “Helen Sharp,” she replies, eyes still holding Madeline’s as their hands briefly meet before letting go.

Summary
Helen Sharp had spent most of her adult life mastering the art of looking effortless.
Not because she was vain—Helen wasn’t vain.
But because somewhere along the way, she’d learned that love could be conditional.
That attraction could be taken back.
That if you weren’t pretty in the right way, polished in the right way, desirable in the right way…people could change their minds about you.
OR
In which Helen tries to hide her retainers, her CPAP machine, and her nerdy clothes from Madeline—and learns she never had to.

Summary
Being an A-list celebrity and Academy Award–nominated actress came with a lot of perks. Madeline Ashton, being one herself, knew that very well.
Individually, they were heavy-hitters in their respective fields. Together, they were a full-blown power couple. So when a film starred Madeline Ashton, was written by Helen Sharp, and was produced by both of them, expectations were—understandably—high.Which meant promotion.
And who better to do press than the two of them together?

Summary
She’d barely touched the zipper when—
“No!” Madeline protested, swatting weakly.
“Love,” Helen said patiently, “you’re going to hate yourself in the morning if you sleep in this.”
“Don’t touch me,” Madeline slurred. “Only my Hellie can touch me. I love my Hellie.”
OR
Madeline got so drunk at their wedding reception.

Summary
But Helen?
Helen was spellbound.
She leaned forward slightly, eyes wide, completely enchanted—as if she were witnessing cinema being invented in real time. The talking dog, the floating sequences, the emotional monologue delivered to a golden retriever in a space helmet—none of it fazed her.
Chagall nudged Stefan. “Look at her.”
“She looks like she’s witnessing the second coming,” Stefan whispered back.
“She hasn’t blinked in five minutes.”
