Synopsis: My name is Seline Sylvester, and I’m a therapist. I started my career in hopes of helping others heal, of offering solace to those lost in their own minds. But little did I know, I was only running away from my own pain. My boyfriend, Adams, left me broken, and no amount of professional success could fill the emptiness he left behind. Then, everything changed when I was assigned to treat Jason Schneider. He’s not your typical patient—he’s a 32-year-old heir to a billion-dollar empire, seemingly impervious to everything I’ve ever encountered. Aloof, guarded, and carrying an air of mystery, Jason doesn’t fit the mold of someone who would seek therapy, much less need it. He’s more interested in playing games than talking about his feelings, and his wealth only makes him more untouchable. But I can’t help it. Something about him draws me in, a challenge I can’t resist. The more I try to understand Jason, the more secrets I uncover—secrets that make me question everything I thought I knew about myself and about the world I live in. As I dive deeper into his psyche, I realize I might be facing something far more dangerous than I ever imagined. I’m caught between my professional duty and the undeniable pull I feel toward him. Star Struck is my story—a journey of healing, discovery, and the fine line between helping someone and losing yourself in the process. Will I break through his walls? Or will I find myself unraveling in the process?

I died on my twenty-ninth birthday. I died amidst the flames ignited by the nine hundred and ninety-ninth scent I crafted for Julian Lancaster. While inhaling the scent of cedarwood ignited by my own hands and the smell of my own scorched flesh, I listened to the cries of the firefighters within the raging inferno. "Mr. Lancaster! The fire is too intense, Miss Everard is still inside, if we don't rescue her now, it will be too late!" Outside the fire scene, there was dead silence, broken only by the crackling of burning wood. Julian did not speak, and no one dared to rush in. I watched as the flames consumed the fragrance manuscripts I treasured, those that represented generations of the Everard Family's hard work. My heartbeat grew slower until it finally stopped. In the last moment of fading consciousness, I heard Julian's voice, cold and devoid of any emotion. "As long as the formula is obtained, let her burn completely, saves the trouble." With those parting words, the endless darkness engulfed me entirely. Upon opening my eyes again, I was reborn.
