When Stars Collide: A Chicago Stars Novel

#1 New
York Times bestseller Susan Elizabeth Phillips returns to her beloved
Chicago Stars series with a romance between a Chicago Stars quarterback and one
of the world’s greatest opera singers—and a major diva.

“Re-entering
the world of the Chicago Stars is like a beloved friend come to call.” — #1 New York Times bestselling author Robyn Carr

Thaddeus Walker Bowman Owens, the backup quarterback for the
Chicago Stars, is a team player, talented sideline coach, occasional male
underwear model, and a man with a low tolerance for Divas.

Olivia Shore, international opera superstar, is a driven
diva with a passion for perfection, a craving for justice, too many secrets—and
a monumental grudge against the egotistical, lowbrow jock she’s been stuck
with.

It’s Mozart meets Monday Night Football as the temperamental
soprano and stubborn jock embark on a
nationwide tour promoting a luxury watch brand. Along the way, the combatants
will engage in soul-searching and trash talk, backstage drama and, for
sure, a quarterback pass. But they’ll also face trouble as threatening
letters, haunting photographs, and a series of dangerous encounters complicate
their lives. Is it the work of an overzealous fan or something more sinister?

This is the emotional journey of a brilliant woman whose
career is everything and a talented man who’ll never be happy with second
place.  Tender and funny, passionate and
insightful, this irresistible romantic adventure proves that anything can
happen…when two superstars collide.
