What Happens in Hollywood Universe

Hollie can’t catch a break. She’s broke, she’s back living with her family, and her career prospects are precisely zero. So when the chance arises for her and her best friend to escape to New York, well, she can hardly say no, can she?

Little does she know, the charming stunt performer she just met is about to introduce her to Hollywood royalty. But are the Hollywood elite really who they claim to be, or is there more to their stories than they let on?

For fans of Beth O’Leary, Sophie Kinsella, or Marian Keyes, this is a romantic comedy featuring found family and true love. It’s very sweary. Happy reading!

Fayth's new best friend is Hollywood royalty. Turns out, he's a pretty nice guy. But when his apartment is broken into, they start to worry. Who'd do something like that, and what do they want?

Hollie's worst fears, meanwhile, are about to come to life. When her stunt performer boyfriend is in a life-changing accident, she becomes his primary carer. Will she be able to handle the stress of life as a carer alongside the strain of being an entrepreneur?

There's only one way to find out...

But we all know the story of King Midas. Having a golden life has consequences.

Being a celebrity is no different. On the outside, we make everything look perfect, while on the inside, we’re falling apart.

Why do you think so many celebrities succumb to the pressure? 

I was no different.

Discover the story of Trinity Gold in this standalone celebrity memoir set in the What Happens in Hollywood Universe. If you’ve read What Happens in… or Hollywood Gossip, it’s a must read.

From Kristina Adams, author of the bestselling What Happens in… series comes a standalone gay romance about fame, friendship, and first loves.

Cameron

I have a secret.

It’s not life-changing or anything.

Or at least, I didn’t think it was.

My first love – first everything, really – was Luke Andrews, one quarter of the world’s biggest boy band.

I haven’t spoken to him since he left.

I buried my feelings for him in a deep, dark cave when he dumped me to pursue his lifelong dream.

When I see him again for the first time in five years, I can’t deny that the spark is still there. But can I ever forgive him for leaving?

Luke

I never expected to see Cameron that day. I thought it was just another album signing. They all blend together after a while.

Seeing him again brought back all the feelings I’d buried to become a singer.

But I’ve been doing this nonstop for five years. I’m not sure how much longer I can keep going.

Cameron reminds me of when life was simpler. He brings out a side of me I thought I’d lost. But will he ever forgive me for abandoning him?

Follow them on their journey from enemies to lovers alongside familiar faces from the What Happens in Hollywood Universe and new ones you’re going to love.

Tate

What’s it really like to grow up rich and famous? Pressure. So much pressure. Unbelievable, inescapable pressure.

My whole life has been about building my brand as an actor and singer. Reaching the top of the Hollywood ladder. I will not let anyone screw it up. Not even Jack.

He’s talented, sure, but his work ethic is non-existent. I have no time for people like him.

Yet I’m weirdly drawn to him and I can’t work out why.

He’s so different to anyone else I’ve ever met. So completely outside of my celebrity bubble. It’s refreshing.

But it’s also dangerous. He could completely ruin everything I’ve spent my whole life building.

Am I about to screw up my whole life for one guy? For one chance at love?

Jack

I never had anything growing up. I was a homeless orphan doing what I could to survive.

One night, I got lucky DJing and a record label hired me. My first album took off, but I can’t seem to replicate its success.

So instead, I drink. And I party. And I do whatever else I can to run from my problems.

Or I did. Until she walked in.

Tate’s like no one I’ve ever met. She’s obsessed with work.

But that’s not why I’m drawn to her. She’s funny, she’s sexy, and she’s intelligent.

Oh, and she hates me.

I mean, I don’t blame her. We couldn’t be more different.

But what if…she didn’t hate me? Could our musical collaboration turn into something more, or am I living in a romantic fantasy?

Tate

My parents are divorcing after 30 years of marriage.

Oh, and I just accidentally found out I’m adopted. Cue identity crisis.

With parents who won’t stop arguing, an ex-boyfriend I can’t stop thinking about, a sexy Texan model I’ve treated terribly, and a career on the rocks, it’s no understatement to say that my chipper demeanour is under threat.

But I can totally handle it.

Can’t I?!

Jack

Life isn’t nearly as fun as I want it to be.

I think my best friend might be turning into my best frenemies. But how can I be sure?

It’s hard to work out when I’m also battling a gruelling touring schedule and might lose my house.

All things considered, I think I’m handling everything pretty well. Aren’t I?

Tate 

I’m tired of being seen as—and treated like—a child star.

So I’m leaving my management company.

And the country.

It’s time for a fresh start.

If only the rest of the world agreed…

Jack

I’ve officially made it as a DJ! I’m doing a residency in Ibiza, the home of dance music!

Can it get much better than a summer of music, sunshine, and parties?

But how can I resist the nerve-ending supply of drink and drugs in the clubbing capital of Europe?

Tate

My new action movie is exactly the kind of role I need to finally shake my image as a child star.

But when judgmental colleagues and a megalomaniac director bring up past issues I’d long thought buried, will the price be too high for my mental health?

I wish I could talk to Jack about what’s going on at work, but with me filming in Australia, and him working in the States, it’s hard for us to connect. Are we drifting apart all over again?

Jack

I can’t write. Not since leaving Ibiza. Something about hitting rock bottom has exhausted my creative energy. And if I can’t write music, who am I?

Could a career break be just what I need? Or will the lack of focus exacerbate my addiction?

Usually I’d go to Tate for advice. She’s my best friend. But after how she found me in Ibiza, the last thing I want to do is burden her all over again.

At a time when the world seems to be against them, will these two lovebirds find solace in each other, or will they grow further apart than ever?

Jack

Tate and I haven’t spoken in over a year. Have we grown apart forever?

I mean, she probably wouldn’t be speaking to me anyway if she knew what I’d been up to.

If I don’t clean up my act soon, I’m going to be in big trouble. How much further can I push myself before I self destruct?

I’m about to find out…

Tate

My new album is skyrocketing up the charts. I’m launching my own perfume. And I’ve got a sexy investor boyfriend by my side.

Everything in my life seems idyllic. But it’s my job to play pretend…

I can’t stop thinking about Jack. Will our paths lead us back to each other, or are we really over this time?

And why do I hate the thought of us being over once and for all?

Everyone around me is falling apart. For the first time ever, I have to be the strong one.
