For years, I've avoided putting down roots anywhere. It's easier that way. No attachments, so no chance of getting hurt.
But after a public backlash threatens both my reputation and the side business I've worked hard to build, my manager and bandmates insist I disappear for a while. Unfortunately, the safest place to hide is Moonstruck Cove, the town that made it clear years ago that I didn't belong there.
Now I'm staying at Moonstruck Lodge, keeping a low profile while the controversy blows over. The problem is that Sierra Quinn—my main point of contact at the lodge—is the one woman who's always known exactly how to get under my skin.
She's stubborn, opinionated, and far too invested in a town I've spent years convincing myself doesn't matter. Worse, she seems determined to draw me out of my self-imposed but necessary isolation.
She's also impossible to ignore.
Ryker Ellwood has always been trouble. Back when we were teenagers, we argued about everything. Fifteen years later, not much has changed.
The world sees a famous rock star hiding from unwanted attention. I see the same frustrating man who still refuses to admit that Moonstruck Cove might be worth coming home to.
Unfortunately, keeping my distance becomes impossible when I'm his main point of contact at Moonstruck Lodge. The last thing Ryker wants is to get involved in small-town life. The last thing I want is to spend months watching him hide from everything.
The more time we spend together, the more I discover there's a lot more to Ryker than the headlines suggest. But if he still plans to leave the moment his problems are over, falling for him could be the biggest mistake I've ever made.
Because losing him would hurt a whole lot more than losing an argument.

"Theo Cresswall is my best friend, my person, the man I'd do anything for. And the one I've spent way too long pretending I don't want." - Gia
"I don't dance. Everyone in Moonstruck Cove knows it, and Gia knows it better than anyone. But when her ex is the only alternative? Over my dead body." - Theo
GIA
I've built everything I love right here in Moonstruck Cove—my dance studio, my students, and a contract that puts this town on the map. But one competition stands between me and keeping it all.
My partner just quit. With weeks to go, I've searched everywhere for a replacement and come up empty.
My ex could fill in, but I'm still hoping for a better option.
Then Theo volunteers.
Theo Cresswall—rock star, drummer of The Glowing Devils, my best friend. The man I've spent way too long pretending I don't want. The man who hasn't danced a single step since I talked him into a competition at sixteen and it ended in disaster.
He says yes before I can argue.
Now we're rehearsing every day. His hands on my waist, my body learning his rhythm, the Argentine tango pulling us somewhere we swore we'd never go.
I need to win this competition. He needs to survive it. And somewhere between the first rehearsal and the last, the line between best friends and something more is getting harder to see.
I can't afford to fall for him. He can't afford to stay.
But Moonstruck Cove has a way of making you want things you were never supposed to have.
THEO
She needs a partner. I'm already here. Simple.
Except nothing about Gia Flores has ever been simple for me.
I've been back in Moonstruck Cove for the concert—The Glowing Devils' first return in twelve years. I wasn't planning to spend it in a dance studio, working my way through routines that require me to hold Gia closer than I've ever let myself.
But her ex's name came up. And that was that.
She thinks I volunteered out of friendship. Maybe I did.
Or maybe I just know that some things are worth looking like a fool for.
Dancing with the Rock Star is Book 1 of the Moonstruck Cove series—where famous men come home... and stay. It can be read as a standalone.

I came to Moonstruck Cove to learn how to be a father to the son I never knew I had. Falling for the art teacher who stole his heart—and mine—could cost me everything.
BRAX
I’m a high-profile investment banker used to controlling every detail of my life—until I discover I’m the father of a four-year-old boy I never knew existed.
Suddenly, my priorities change.
I take my son, Ollie, to Moonstruck Cove to spend time with my parents and figure out how to be the kind of dad he deserves. What I don’t expect is how quickly he bonds with the one woman in town who still holds a grudge against me.
Joey Barker.
She’s beautiful, stubborn, and far too good at reminding me of the argument we had the last time I was here. The problem? The more time we spend together, the harder it is to ignore the attraction between us.
But when a powerful client sets his sights on acquiring Joey’s family’s chocolatier business—and my job depends on keeping that client happy—I find myself caught between protecting my career and protecting the woman I’m starting to fall for.
And if Joey ever discovers the truth about what I’ve been asked to do, I could lose far more than my reputation.
JOEY
Brax Quinn is the last man I should trust.
The arrogant city slicker might have returned to Moonstruck Cove as a devoted single dad, but I haven’t forgotten how he once called me a meddler when I was only trying to help his parents.
Still… it’s impossible to ignore the way he looks at me. Or the way my heart melts when I see him with Ollie.
Then there's the professional advice I got about loosening up in the bedroom. I decide that the best way forward is a no-strings fling with someone I’m wildly attracted to—someone who’ll eventually leave town.
Brax seems like the perfect candidate.
Except the more time we spend together, the more complicated everything becomes.
Because the man I thought I knew isn’t the man I’m falling for.
And when the truth behind the scandal surrounding my family’s business finally comes to light, I’ll have to decide whether Brax Quinn is the worst mistake I could make… or the love I never saw coming.

Fake Dating My Ex's Rival (Moonstruck Cove #3) by Miranda P. Charles
"...a flavorful feast of the senses. Heartache stirs up the sweetest kind of trouble. Charles delivers an addictive heartbreaker with heartwarming tendencies." - (Isha C., Blogger, Reader, Reviewer - Hopeless Romantic)
Release Date: June 25, 2026
"I agreed to fake-date Colt Quinn to put my ex in his place. Falling for the man who's too big for Moonstruck Cove? That was never part of the deal."
EMORY
Moonstruck Cove will always be my home. After I was dumped on my wedding day, this town helped me put myself back together.
Now, my ex is back, branded as the town's returning local hero on a TV renovation show. On his arm is his new girlfriend—who just happens to be Colt's ex.
Colt Quinn. TV star, my best friend's future brother-in-law, and the man I've been quietly, inconveniently crushing on. He needs a fake girlfriend for the show.
I know exactly why I said yes. I just don't know how to stop it from meaning more than it should.
Because I've already been burned by a man who chose ambition over love.
And I can't risk being second to Colt's career.
COLT
The show was supposed to fix everything. One season of Built by Two, and I could silence every critic calling me a fraud.
Then my girlfriend and I call it quits, and suddenly I can't join a show that requires romantic partners as contestants.
I wasn't expecting Emory to volunteer, and I wasn't expecting to be so glad she did.
She's warm, funny, stubborn and brave, and standing next to her while our exes smirk from across the competition line feels a lot less like strategy and a lot more like something I don't have a name for yet.
Then I have to move in with her during filming to keep up our pretence, and things become even more complicated. Somewhere between sawdust and kisses for the camera, fake starts feeling real.
But my life isn't in Moonstruck Cove, and hers will never be anywhere else.
Now, I'm facing the one thing I never planned for—losing the only woman who's ever made me want something more.
