Carmen Brown and Rowan Bronson come from two completely different worlds. She's a guarded, low-profile college girl with tomboy tendencies and a sharp tongue. He's the school’s golden boy—talented, popular, and infuriatingly arrogant. They have nothing in common… except one life-altering secret: an arranged marriage forced upon them by their powerful, high-society families.
Neither of them wanted it. They made a pact to keep it hidden, especially from their schoolmates and closest friends. To the world, they’re strangers. But behind closed doors, their lives are tangled in a quiet storm of clashing egos, awkward tension, and growing sparks.
As they fake ignorance at school, challenges rise: Rowan's obsessive ex-girlfriend Catherine plots revenge, Julian—the school’s dangerous heartthrob—is determined to steal Carmen for himself, and the only person who knows the truth is Rowan’s cousin Josh. Secrets hang by a thread as feelings begin to bloom in the most unexpected of places.
With sarcasm, slow-burn romance, haunting family pressure, and unexpected alliances, Aligned Stars is a heart-twisting tale of forced proximity, unspoken desires, and learning that sometimes the stars don’t just align—they collide.
