#1 New

York Times

bestseller Susan Elizabeth Phillips returns to her beloved

Chicago Stars series with a romance between a Chicago Stars quarterback and one

of the world’s greatest opera singers—and a major diva.

“Re-entering

the world of the Chicago Stars is like a beloved friend come to call.” — #1 New York Times bestselling author Robyn Carr

Thaddeus Walker Bowman Owens, the backup quarterback for the

Chicago Stars, is a team player, talented sideline coach, occasional male

underwear model, and a man with a low tolerance for Divas.

Olivia Shore, international opera superstar, is a driven

diva with a passion for perfection, a craving for justice, too many secrets—and

a monumental grudge against the egotistical, lowbrow jock she’s been stuck

with.

It’s Mozart meets Monday Night Football as the temperamental

soprano and stubborn jock embark on a

nationwide tour promoting a luxury watch brand. Along the way, the combatants

will engage in soul-searching and trash talk, backstage drama and, for

sure, a quarterback pass. But they’ll also face trouble as threatening

letters, haunting photographs, and a series of dangerous encounters complicate

their lives. Is it the work of an overzealous fan or something more sinister?

This is the emotional journey of a brilliant woman whose

career is everything and a talented man who’ll never be happy with second

place.  Tender and funny, passionate and

insightful, this irresistible romantic adventure proves that anything can

happen…when two superstars collide.
