Where the Stars Went cover

Where the Stars Went

Stella Hart loved Ashton Voss without a shred of dignity. Heir to a century-old Old Money jewelry empire, he blamed her for a fire seven years ago — convinced she'd ignored his cries to save a stranger instead. For three years he punished her for it: one hundred divorce letters, and one hundred times she came crawling back to sign them away. The hundred-and-first, she didn't. Not after he forced allergic Stella to drink in front of his friends. Not after her stepsister shattered her dead mother's locket on the floor. Not after his slap broke the hearing aid she'd worn since her father's fists stole her hearing at nineteen. In a blood-red dress, she signed — and walked into the arms of Ethan Morrow, the Silicon Valley titan who'd quietly funded her late mother's cancer research for years. Ashton realized what he'd thrown away far too late. He begged. He drank. He tried to burn her name down so no one else could have her. But you don't get to break a woman who's already walked away — you just get to watch her shine somewhere you can't reach. He spent three years calling her nothing. Now he'll spend a lifetime wondering where his star went.
