When I got my first big
break, I was thrilled to be co-starring with Wyatt Burgess and thought I could
handle life with him. But, when his best friend overdoses outside a nightclub,
Wyatt spirals deeper into his addictions. After ten years of heartache, I’m
content with the life I created and the last thing I expected was to see Wyatt
on TV, telling the world his biggest regret is losing me.

Blurb
He's the most famous movie star in the world, and now he's on my
doorstep begging for a second chance.
When I got my first big break, I was thrilled to be co-starring
with the
Wyatt
Burgess–former childhood star, charismatic, sexy as hell–and heavily dependent
on drugs and alcohol.
I thought I could handle life with him, and I did for a while.
But after his best friend overdosed outside a nightclub, he spiraled deeper
into his addictions. Desperate, I gave him an ultimatum: the lifestyle or
me.
After ten years of heartache, I’ve carved out a life that makes
me feel stable and content. The last thing I expect is Wyatt Burgess on my
television screen, telling the whole world his biggest regret is losing me.
Now he’s standing in front of me, forcing me to choose between
the comfortable life I’ve created and the passionate whirlwind that allowing
him back into my life could bring.
But I wasn’t one hundred percent honest when I left, and I fear
he’ll never forgive me.

REVIEW: WHEN STARS FALL BY WENDY MILLION
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
A heavy hitter that aims straight for the heart. Million tackles life from every angle. When Stars Fall dares to be brutally honest about life, love and the humanity of it all. From the missed opportunities and the bad choices, Wyatt and Ellie journey of redemption puts the hard moments on full display. A beautiful mess that speaks it's truth with a rawness of spirit and exposes it's soul with breathtaking accuracy.
Excerpt
Copyright 2024, Wendy Million
In a daze, I wander the narrow hall to my bedroom at the rear of
my home. Although I can afford a lavish house, I have a small three-bedroom
bungalow on an oceanfront lot. Nothing fancy, but it suits my needs. When I
have to, I put on the glitz and glamor, but for the most part, I’m hidden away
here in Hamilton, Bermuda. The frantic pace of Los Angeles is kept at bay by
careful scheduling and an adherence to privacy above all else. The Hollywood
pomp and circumstance were never for me; just the right place and people. Wyatt
never understood that.
My security intercom buzzes, and I answer the nearest receiver.
“Headed to bed, Freddie. What’s up?”
“Uh, Ellie, there’s a man here who wants to see
you.”
“It’s late. I have jet lag. No one who knows me would come this
late.”
I’ve made sure my house is hard to find. Entrances and exits are
concealed by overgrown bushes and shrubs. The property is gated and not listed
on any documents that are easy to access. Cab drivers and sightseeing tours get
a hefty donation at the end of their high season if they haven’t used my name
or property to advertise their businesses. Extreme privacy has been my
companion since I left Wyatt and Los Angeles behind.
“It’s Mr. Wyatt Burgess, and he says he isn’t leaving until you
agree to speak to him.”
Ice freezes in my veins and then fire chases it out. Turns out I
don’t need to levitate off the island to commit murder tonight. “Oh, Freddie. I
have a thing or two to say to Mr. Burgess. You can deliver him to the
door.”
“Yes, ma’am.” A grin is evident in his voice. He must have
watched The Jackson Billows Show too. With the show taped in the late
morning, Wyatt had lots of opportunities to hop on a two-hour flight here.
Never occurred to me he would.
I check my appearance in the kitchen mirror and then scold
myself. I’ll open the door only to tell him to go to hell. Using national
television to declare his undying love after ten years and a series of bad
choices and then expecting me to take him back?! I don’t think so. Not
happening.
At the side entrance where expected guests are delivered, I swing
the door wide.
Immediately, I realize my mistake. He’s taller than I remembered,
which seems ridiculous. That’s not all, though. His dark hair is a little
darker, and his blue-green eyes more electric. Without the barrier of the
screen, everything jumps at me at once.
My heart does one loud, crushing thump and falls to
pieces.
Ten years, gone in a heartbeat.
