Staged Hearts

She was supposed to be a spark. Somehow, she became the whole fire.

When Alexis Bamford moves next door to brooding musician Jihoon Cho, sparks fly...but nothing goes according to plan.

He's intense, talented, and frustratingly closed off, while she's full of colour, life, and an unwavering belief in living your dreams.

What starts as creative inspiration and playful proximity quickly turns into tension-filled glances, stolen moments, and feelings neither of them expected.

Between miscommunications, near-misses, and the kind of chemistry that sets hearts racing,

Alexis and Jihoon must navigate their creative fears, insecurities, and unspoken truths.

When art and music collide, love takes the stage.

Staged Hearts is a contemporary romance full of slow-burn tension, emotional depth,

and a love story that proves sometimes the right person appears in the most unexpected place. You just have to let go...and hold on to them.

Perfect for fans of slow-burn romance, fake-to-real relationships, and emotional contemporary love stories that linger long after the last page.

If you loved The Hating Game by Sally Thorne, The Spanish Love Deception by Elena Armas or simply reluctant men who 'accidentally' fall first....

you're going to fall for Staged Hearts.
