SOME HEARTS UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER EVEN IN SILENCE The last thing Alexia Kirby wanted to do for spring break was go to Los Angeles, especially when she already had plans with her best friend. But when her sister wins a sweepstake hosted by her favorite band, she agrees to go for the sake of her mom. Alexia planned on only enjoying the concert, but an accidental jump into the wrong limo leads her to meet the lead guitarist of The MorningStars. She thought meeting the frontman of her favorite band would be amazing, but he's grumpy, stubborn, and closed off-much like her -and, thinking she stole the song her sister used to enter, also strongly dislikes her. But when it comes to light that her sister entered Alexia's song in the contest, she gets the opportunity to make her dreams a reality. What she doesn't know is that Grayson Archer has been obsessed with her since the moment he saw her. The only issue is, after an unfortunate circumstance with an ex, he finds himself reluctant to want love again. With many emotions bubbling and being forced to work together, they find themselves drawn to each other. Neither of them wants a relationship, but their hearts have other plans. Both must confront their feelings, their pasts, and face the drama of Hollywood, which is trying to pull them apart. ranks #1 Sweepstakes #3 Song writing #1 Spring Break #4 Trauma

When superstar Kade Hendrix steals Ivy's song, she falls into his world of public scrutiny-and his arms-just as the rest of her world falls down around her. Ivy is sure superstar Kade Hendrix won't notice his number one fan in the crowd of his intimate concert, but what happens when her childhood idol begins singing one of her songs that she submitted for his consideration--and pretends that he was the one who wrote it... There's a reason they say never meet your heroes. *** Ivy Bennett is just trying to get over her crush on her off-limits guy best friend when she is forced into superstar Kade Hendrix's world of managers, publicists, stylists, Non-Disclosure Agreements and intrusive paparazzi--all because he decided to steal the songwriting credits to what is proving to be his biggest hit of all time. Coaxed into a flimsy alliance where she takes a job as his primary co-writer, Ivy and Kade are caught up in a whirlwind of emotions--most of them hate--but somewhere along the way, romantic lines are blurred and Ivy isn't too sure that crush she had on Kade ever really went away. Will Ivy forgive and forget the terrible behavior of the one person who was her inspiration for writing in the first place, or have the bridges already been burned? Follow Ivy and Kade on their journey from strangers to enemies to something neither of them can put into words in his world of extremes in the spotlight.
