Fame and Freefalling

Fame and Freefalling by Chris Martin, book cover

In Sagebrush, Colorado, where Hollywood dreams collide with Rocky Mountain reality...

Sylvia Avery isn't the same star-struck teenager who lost everything for a forbidden kiss. Now a director fighting to prove herself, she's returned to small-town Colorado to film her first TV series. But her carefully constructed world threatens to crumble when she finds herself face-to-face with Shawn Rivers—the boy who once made her believe love was more important than fame.

Shawn Rivers understands the price of passion all too well. After their teenage romance destroyed both their careers, he found sanctuary in voice acting, where he could hide behind animated characters instead of losing himself in them. Now, helping his family through troubled times, he's made peace with staying in the shadows. At least, that's what he tells himself—until Sylvia offers him a starring role that awakens both his deepest dreams and darkest fears.

As cameras roll and their old chemistry ignites, they find themselves drawn together by more than just memories. But as the lines between fiction and reality blur, they must decide if their second chance is worth risking everything they've rebuilt.

FAME & FREEFALLING is more than just a story about rediscovering love. It's a testament to the courage it takes to be yourself when everyone is watching, the strength to choose love over ambition, and the truth that sometimes the greatest role you'll ever play is simply being who you really are.
