Stardust Beach Book Six

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Everyone thinks Barbie Roman has it all.

But this time, being perfect might cost her everything.

With her picture-perfect looks, polished manners, and political pedigree, Barbie Roman was raised to play the role of the ideal daughter, wife, and mother. From an exclusive enclave in Connecticut to the sun-soaked shores of Stardust Beach, she’s spent her life smiling, supporting, and staying silent. But now, the stakes are too high—and Barbie’s time as the quiet good girl is running out.

Her husband Todd is one of NASA’s rising stars, and with three young sons at home, Barbie should be focused on family and friendship. Instead, she finds herself caught between two worlds: the ambitious men in her family who want to use the space program for their own political gain, and the tight-knit circle of astronaut wives who have come to feel like sisters.

Barbie knows her father and brother could destroy everything if they push too hard—and this time, she refuses to be the pawn in someone else’s game. But standing up to the people who raised her means risking the golden life she’s always known. And speaking out could cost her more than just comfort—it could cost her everything she’s built.

A story of legacy, loyalty, and the strength it takes to break free, Stardust Beach: Book Six is a heartfelt, empowering journey of one woman discovering her voice in a world that never asked for her opinion. For fans of Annabel Monaghan, Amy Harmon, and The Kennedy Debutante.
