Who Wants To Be Found
Synopsis
Talia Mandati grows up among bodyguards, paparazzi, and bullet-proof windows, until she has enough: “Give me a new identity, like a protected witness.”
But what if she falls in love and won’t expose her past?
Talia breaks out and trades her fortune for freedom, becoming a new person called Keri.
With ups and downs it works until Keri meets the tough yet vulnerable Toby, landing in a clash of secrecy and realness.
If Toby struggles with life himself, he could betray her to the tabloids and gain big easy money. So how to reveal her secret and trust him?
Before settling in a foster family, Keri makes a terrible mistake, and it may be too late for a second chance.
Trying to keep journalists away, and evading public situations, she may always be afraid of exposure. Any confrontation can turn her life inside out again.
