    Summary

    Riley Scott is a woman whose voice could move mountains, but her confidence has always faltered in the face of her talent. When her best friend Emily secretly enters her into the prestigious X Factor competition, Riley's life takes an unexpected turn.

    As Riley nervously steps onto the stage, she captures the attention of not only the audience but also one of the returning judges, the renowned Gary Barlow. Gary, captivated by Riley's raw talent and vulnerability, sees beyond her insecurities to the star she could become.

    As the competition heats up, Riley finds herself navigating not just the pressures of performing but also the complexities of a deepening connection with Gary. However, the X Factor rules strictly forbid any romantic involvement between contestants and judges. Amidst the glitz and glamour, secrets, and challenges, Riley embarks on a journey of self-discovery, uncovering her strength and worth along the way.

    "The Spotlight" is a tale of music, passion, and self-discovery, where Riley Scott learns that sometimes finding your voice means embracing the courage to love against all odds.

    Summary

    Maybe the X Factor wasn't the first time Louis and Harry had met. Maybe it was always meant to be, unavoidable in the universe. And maybe it happened a little bit differently than we think it did.

    Summary

    As the author of The Cyber Sphere, a series of best-selling books which have spawned seemingly limitless spin-offs, Louis Tomlinson hides away from the world in his fortress-like London penthouse. But when he decides to interact with the host of The Cyber Times radio program, Dermot O’Leary, on Twitter, it causes a fandom meltdown and offers him hope for a future he’d never imagined.

    OR the one where Liam likes to think he’s Batman, Dermot has terrible taste in sporting teams, and Louis should really get a cat.

    Summary

    “Good to see you, lad,” Louis greets Dermot the first day back on the X Factor set, the same way he’d talk to anyone he knows a little and likes well enough. He’s caught pleasantly off-guard when Dermot laughs loudly and throws his head back and then gathers up Louis in his arms for a big squeeze, ruffling his hair madly before he lets go.

    “Wouldn’t have thought I’d ever be one of the lads with Tommo,” Dermot says, and his grin is infectious, and Louis catches it, feels his own eyes crinkling up as he returns the smile while smoothing his mussed fringe. “Good to have you back, mate. Well done, you.”

     

    Louis goes home.

The second thing he thinks is, he hopes to God he can actually sing, because they've been in this room for three bloody hours and have yet to put a single person through.
