Ava Hart doesn't believe in comebacks. She believes in survival.

Once Hollywood's brightest star, Ava's career crashed in scandal and silence. Now, three years later, she's back in Cannes to reunite with the one man she swore she'd never face again her ex-director and ex-lover, Leo Wilde. The world calls it redemption. She calls it damage control.

When a single photograph sparks wild rumours of a secret engagement, Ava and Leo are forced into a public lie that blurs with truth. Every red carpet, every headline, every stolen glance becomes a reminder of what they once were and what they never stopped feeling.

But in a world built on illusion, love is the most dangerous script of all. As old wounds surface and long-buried secrets come to light, Ava must decide whether the life she's rebuilding can include the man who once broke her heart.

Scandal and Second Chances is a glamorous, emotional second-chance romance set between Cannes, Paris, and Hollywood, a story about fame, forgiveness, and the courage to love in the spotlight.
