Wonderstruck
(2026)(The fifth book in the Starstruck Love Stories series)
A novel by Dana LeCheminant
He’s Hollywood’s golden boy. She’s determined to stay invisible. When their lives—and their secrets—collide, neither is ready for what comes next.
After years of living for the cameras, Derek Riley needs an escape. Training for a movie role on a remote river sounds perfect, until his whitewater guide, Donovan, treats him like he’s just another tourist. For the first time in his career, Derek doesn’t know his lines…or how to uncover the person beneath Donovan’s armor.
Donovan left her old life behind for good reason, but Derek’s kindness and warmth make him far too easy to fall for, even if he threatens the careful walls she’s built. Letting him in means facing a past she swore to forget, but she can’t help but be drawn to the flawed man beneath the perfect veneer.
When the tabloids close in and old wounds resurface on both sides, Derek and Donovan have to choose between the safety of silence and the risk of something real. Because sometimes, love is the most dangerous truth of all.
Wonderstruck is a closed door celebrity romance that’s a standalone story with character connections to the other books in the series. Full of witty banter, mutual respect, and sizzling chemistry, it’s perfect for fans of protective heroes, confident women, and love that heals.
