The lifeline | Romance

Martina Moreschino is an Italian global pop icon with a shelf full of Grammys, an almost unmanageable level of fame, and a persistent stalker who just won’t quit. After a humiliating, headline-making breakup that goes viral, she's had about enough. She's ready to walk away--or at the very least, to leave NYC behind and start fresh in LA. Trading songs for screams, Martina lands an acting gig in a horror TV show alongside Ewan McGregor. Through him, she meets Hayden Christensen, a man who ditched Hollywood's spotlight long ago for some goddamn peace and quiet on a remote Canadian farm. Both are burned and bruised by fame, and neither is looking for love. But fate (and an ill-timed stumble at the Emmys) has other plans. When she literally falls into Hayden's arms, something undeniable ignites. What follow is an electric, sizzling game of hide and seek, with a fast sexual burn but a slower emotional burn as they try to outrun the spotlight, the stalker, and their own fears.

Requirements & Requests

Characters: which ones you like best, which one you can’t stand. The ones you’d wish to know better. The relationship in the story: do you find it credible? Are there cringe moments? Elements you like, and those you think could be improved. Smut: is it welll written? Too graphic? Too little detailed? Are there any trigger warnings I left out you think should be added? English is not my first language, so if you think that some expressions are weird or do not flow naturally, or I’ve made mistakes, please let me know.
