The Unsuitable Series

Not Suitable for Stars | Not Suitable for Artists | Not Suitable for Cowards

Three different love stories set in worlds where fame, dreams, and the wounds of the past leave little room for romance. A screenwriter seeking revenge, a pop star running from his own life, and a dancer determined to infiltrate the world of the man she hates most. When love unexpectedly enters their lives, their carefully laid plans unravel, forcing them to decide what they are willing to let go of in order to be happy. 

The Unsuitables is a contemporary young adult romance trilogy set in the fascinating worlds of film, music, and sports. Three standalone stories connected through recurring themes and characters, exploring love, identity, and the courage required to reveal one’s true self.

Screenwriters, actors, pop stars, dancers, and racing drivers live under the pressure of expectations, secrets, and past wounds. Accustomed to hiding their emotions in order to survive, they must confront their deepest fears to discover that love does not always arrive when it is sought, but when one finally finds the courage to stop running.

Combining romance, humor, emotional drama, and second chances, the trilogy presents three stories filled with chemistry, conflict, and personal growth. Three couples. Three emotional journeys. Three different ways of discovering that sometimes a happy ending begins with taking the very first step.

In Not Suitable for Stars, Amanda Brandy Martini is convinced she has her life under control until her ex-boyfriend, Axel Muñoz, leaves her to marry her best friend. Devastated, she ends up sharing her story with a stranger in a hotel bar. What she does not realize is that the man listening is Ron Kennedy, one of the world’s biggest movie stars and the lead actor in the film where she works as a screenwriter and intimacy coordinator.

What begins as a ridiculous alliance to ruin a wedding gradually transforms, during filming, into a romance as intense as it is unexpected. As Amanda and Ron grow closer, their plans for revenge trigger consequences that threaten to destroy the actor’s career.

When blackmail forces Amanda into making a decision that Ron interprets as a betrayal, they are torn apart. Yet love proves stronger than pride. Together, they fight to expose those trying to destroy them and prove that some stories deserve a second chance.

A romantic comedy filled with sharp dialogue, emotional tension, and the irresistible behind-the-scenes allure of the film industry.

In Not Suitable for Artists, Kale Moon is one of the most famous performers on the planet, but behind the fame, millions of followers, and sold-out arenas lies a young man trapped in a life that no longer feels like his own. Exhausted by media pressure, a fabricated public relationship, and a career controlled by others, he decides to disappear.

His escape leads him to a small family-owned café in Vermont, where he meets Aster Thunder, an impulsive, sincere young woman completely immune to his celebrity status. Although their relationship begins with constant clashes, their daily interactions gradually reveal versions of themselves they thought they had long forgotten.

While Kale discovers the freedom of a simpler life, Aster begins to see the vulnerable man hidden behind the international star. But when Kale’s past returns to reclaim him, both must decide whether what they have built together can survive the weight of fame.

With the warm atmosphere of a feel-good romance, this story combines music, humor, and powerful emotions in an uplifting narrative about love, authenticity, and the search for one’s own voice.

In Not Suitable for Cowards, ever since a tragedy destroyed her dream of becoming a professional dancer, Violeta has lived with a single purpose: to take revenge on West White, the racing driver she holds responsible for ruining her future. Determined to make him pay, she creates a false identity and launches an elaborate plan to infiltrate his life and gain his trust.

However, the real challenge is not West, but Chandler, his best friend, the only person capable of understanding her wounds and the man she has secretly loved for years without ever daring to admit it. Through silences, missed opportunities, and suppressed feelings, the two become trapped in a relationship that moves forward and backward according to the rhythm of Violeta’s fears.

As her obsession with revenge threatens everything that truly matters, Violeta must choose between clinging to the past or allowing herself to build the future she has always desired. When circumstances become dangerous and masks begin to fall away, she realizes that some battles can only be won by choosing to stop fighting.

A friends-to-lovers romance filled with emotional tension, secrets, passion, and second chances, where love becomes the ultimate act of courage.
