You never forget your first love. Isn't that what they say? Verity Hill knows this truth intimately. She didn't simply miss Wright \"Monk\" Bellamy when they parted ways in college. She's haunted by his touch. Every kiss, any lover since—it's a shadow of what they had.

Time heals all wounds. Isn't that what they say? Monk doesn't believe that for a second. He wasn't simply betrayed when he and Verity split. He was devastated, with parts of him left behind in the ruins of all that was destroyed.

More than a decade after their disastrous breakup, Verity and Monk must work together on the set of an epic Harlem Renaissance biopic. With Monk, now a world-class musician, creating the score, and Verity, an award-winning screenwriter, penning the script, there's Oscar buzz before shooting even begins. This once-in-a-lifetime project could catapult them both to new heights, but can they can put the past behind them for the sake of the film…for the sake of something more?","spice","series_order","editions_count",1,"contributors",[],[96],"Score","edition_id","85add424-8a5c-4c26-975c-0f95f35ed08d",{"_15":30,"_28":29,"_95":32},"year",2026,"first_published","May 2026","likes_count","collections_count","15-score","format",{"_28":59,"_27":91,"_92":93,"_94":48},"page_count",448,"duration","published_date","May 19, 2026","isbn","9781538769652","asin","1538769654","hex_code","#63ba4f","language","English","cover","https://cdn.blackauthored.com/books/15i/85add424-8a5c-4c26-975c-0f95f35ed08d.jpg","Paperback","type","print","audio","order",{"_28":45,"_27":41,"_43":44,"_42":-5,"_50":-5,"_31":51,"_97":98},"roles",[99],"author","0b9097da-d9e2-4654-b952-dca33bdc6605","Award-Winning Wall Street Journal bestselling author Kennedy Ryan launches a brand-new series with a Hollywood tale of wild ambition, artistic obsession, and unrelenting love.

One moment in the spotlight...

For months I stood by, an understudy waiting in the wings, preparing for my time to shine.
I never imagined he would watch in the audience that night.
Canon Holt.
Famous film director. Fascinating. Talented. Fine
Before I could catch my breath, everything changed. I went from backstage Broadway to center stage Hollywood.
From being unknown, to my name, Neevah Saint, on everyone's lips.
Canon casts me in a star-studded Harlem Renaissance biopic, catapulting me into another stratosphere.
But stars shine brightest in the dead of night.
Forbidden attraction, scandal and circumstances beyond my control jeopardize my dream.
Could this one shot — the role of a lifetime, the love of a lifetime — cost me everything?",[],[118],"Reel","44609ce5-f2cc-477f-ab39-243ecdffce69",{"_15":30,"_28":29,"_95":59},2021,"Jun 2021","4-reel",{"_28":116,"_27":117,"_92":93,"_94":48},434,"June 8, 2021","B091G3LF8S","#38170b","https://cdn.blackauthored.com/books/4i/44609ce5-f2cc-477f-ab39-243ecdffce69.jpg",3,"Kindle",{"_28":45,"_27":41,"_43":44,"_42":-5,"_50":-5,"_31":51,"_97":119},[99],"isLoggedIn",["P",121],"result",{"_15":125,"_17":18,"_13":126,"_127":128,"_19":20,"_129":130,"_21":131},"user","Blackauthored","Blackauthored is a platform for authors to share their work.","handle","@shopify","robots",{"_149":48,"_150":48},{"_23":24,"_25":132,"_27":125,"_133":134,"_135":136,"_19":20,"_137":138},"Organization","logo","https://blackauthored.com/logo.png","sameAs",[144,145,146,147,148],"potentialAction",{"_25":139,"_140":141,"_142":143},"SearchAction","target","https://blkath.blackauthored.com/series/c426739b-7512-47c1-8cfe-64619f654afbsearch?q={search_term}","query","required name='search_term'","https://twitter.com/blackauthored","https://facebook.com/blackauthored","https://instagram.com/blackauthored","https://youtube.com/blackauthored","https://tiktok.com/@blackauthored","noIndex","noFollow"]
