The Art of Going Rogue (The Beats Between Us)

The industry made her a star. Now it’s trying to script her love life, too.

Bardot Soleil Jackson is tired of being a product. After a childhood of camera-ready smiles and chart-topping hits, the pop princess is ready to reclaim her voice. She wants real music. Real freedom. Maybe even something real when it comes to love. But with her big brother still managing her career like a business deal and a label desperate to control the narrative, “real” feels like a risk she can’t afford.

Then comes King Ash. Gritty, guarded, and magnetic in all the wrong ways. An underground lyricist with no time for industry games and even less patience for pop stars. Their creative spark turns into something electric, something off-limits... until the whole world takes notice.

When Bardot’s fame-hungry ex, Dev Royale, catches wind of their relationship, he flips the script when he tells gossip blogs it’s all fake. A PR stunt. A lie. What he doesn’t mention? Ash ghostwrote his biggest hits... and she’s still under NDA.

Now Bardot’s reputation is under fire, her brother’s calling the shots, and the woman she’s falling for is caught in the fallout. But this time, Bardot won’t be managed.

It’s her story now—and she’s ready to sing it her way.
