Thanks to a mountain of debt that her socialite mother accumulated, Grace reluctantly agrees with Blake's plan and works on proving to the whole world that her father, who hadn't been around for most of her life, was actually a real peach. Unfortunately, being on tour means singing on tour and Grace is a little out of practice. When the surly drummer in her father's band tries to get her to leave, will Grace stick around long enough to find her voice? And can a girl who doesn't know what it's like to have a father convince the world that her Dad is #1?

Jude Turner has a problem. Actually, she has a few of concerning fame, alcohol, rivalries, lifestyle and hiatus. Yet - for the moment - her main affair is a solo album. With the band she'd joined at just fifteen years old going on a break, Jude is left wallowing for over a year until she decides to make that elusive solo album. But she goes one step further when she decides to go deep into the Californian desert to record at a legendary studio. When a musical rivalry as old as time is renewed with The Bends, a band cemented on the tumultuous relationship of Cam and Logan Harrison, she can't seem to find stable footing in this new solo world, let alone enough to stand her own against two obnoxiously arrogant brothers. It could be the album of a lifetime or the nightmare of hers. And Jude is finding that there's a very thin line that separates the two.

In life there are things that are said, and then there are those that remain unsaid. For Keely Staub, her life mostly remained in the latter category.

Her future and a hidden past collide as she wades through a world she'd never dared to dream of. One that allows her half heart to maybe find an equally broken one in the unlikely source of Seth Ryan.

Keely Staub has grown up. At least that's what she thinks has happened. No longer a naive eighteen year old being introduced to a music industry that's equal parts grandeur and grime, she might even be considered a veteran. At just twenty six, she's lived almost too much of a life in the intervening years since she first came to New York. A great love and a great band, not to mention more than a few unsavoury addictions picked up along the way in the time honoured traditions of the rock stars before her. And she gave it all up - except the rock star part, of course. That was a different Keely Staub, a more innocent and wild one all at the same time. She's determined that person and all the things that came with her will stay in the past, and has a very clear path laid in front of her. A measured, smart, hopefully one day respected, path. The problem is the past refuses to remain the past.
