The celebrity

a novel

By Robert Elmer

Heat level
Behind closed doors

Jamie D. Lane is most sought-after pop star in the world. What few people know is how unhappy he's become, until burnout, coupled with a family tragedy, drive him to make a drastic decision. Craving freedom and needing to settle a private matter, Jamie cuts his trademark blonde curls, assumes a new identity, and secretly slips away to the Pacific Northwest incognito. But what he finds in small town Washington could open up Jamie's future--and change him forever. A teacher to inner city kids and former high school track star, Anne Stewart had once believed she could change the world. Then a near-fatal accident left her grappling with both the devastating effects of a head injury and deep bitterness toward the drunk driver who crippled her. However, when a man she knows as "Joe Bradley" hits town, they unexpectedly bond and help each other find themselves. But when the scope of The Celebrity's deception becomes clear to Anne, will it be too much to forgive?

Content warnings

For your information, not judgment.

Severity reflects intensity, not value — “central theme” means a warning is a core part of the book, not that the book is bad.
