Before He Was Gone

Lights. Camera. Survival. Falling for him wasn't part of the script.

From the bestselling HarperCollins and Harlequin author. "Becky does it again, delivering a searingly hot, emotionally intense and brilliantly written love story."

When Alyssa's rockstar boyfriend dumps her out of the blue, she makes a wild, impulsive decision-she applies to Deserted, the hottest reality survival show on TV. And she gets in.

Soon, she's whisked away to a remote island, stripped of every luxury she's used to, and thrown into a high-stakes game where only the strongest make it through.

Enter Joshua-brooding, mysterious, and completely unlike anyone Alyssa has ever met. A traveler with no roots, no plan, and no interest in fame, he's a stark contrast to the life she left behind.

As gruelling challenges push them to their limits, sparks fly. But in a game built to tear people down, trust is a dangerous thing. And Joshua is hiding something-something that could change everything.

The cameras roll. The world watches, and Alyssa must decide: return to the glittering life that wants her back, or risk everything for a new reality that might not even last beyond the final episode.

*This standalone book features some characters from book 1, Before He Was Famous, but can be read without reading book 1. It contains graphic language, sex and mature situations.
