A Summer of Stars Release Party with Liana Cincotti
About this Event
Be the first to get your hands on as we celebrate the release day with author Liana Cincotti, whose love of iconic early 2000s rom-coms shines through every page of this sharp, chemistry-filled romance.
Liana will talk about writing enemies-to-lovers tension, glamorous fake dating schemes, and what happens when two people who absolutely cannot stand each other are forced to share red carpets, international flights, and way too many staged kisses.
Follow tennis superstar Luna Aldridge and Hollywood heartthrob Kieran Alexander as their carefully crafted PR romance starts to feel dangerously real under the flash of cameras and the pressure of public scrutiny.
After the discussion, stick around for a meet + greet and signing where you can get your book personalized (one per person). Liana has offered to sign backlist books bought during the event or brought from home.
Snap a photo, and celebrate banter, celebrity drama, and hard-won happily ever afters!

ABOUT A SUMMER OF STARS
After a messy breakup, it feels like the entire world hates tennis superstar Luna Aldridge. With her reputation ruined and her career at risk, the only way to repair it is a PR stunt: fake-dating Hollywood’s golden boy, Kieran Alexander. There’s just one problem… Luna can’t stand him.
For Kieran, the feeling is mutual. He’s about to lead a big-screen love story, but his dating history is jeopardizing the film’s success. His team believes the world needs to see him wildly in love. And who better than Luna, the person he loathes most?
Soon, Luna and Kieran spend the summer posing for cameras, sharing red carpets and flying around the world for the tennis circuit. But the more they pretend, the more they question if they can keep their hearts, and their careers, together. Especially with everyone watching…
