A secret affair with your teenage celebrity crush? Yes, please!
Music journalist Cassy Evans believes her career is made when she snags an exclusive interview with rock singer Frankie Blade.
Once a superstar of the generation, Frankie has been a recluse since a freak motorcycle incident sent his career into a tailspin seven years ago. Now that he's returned to claim back his crown, Cassy hopes to kill two birds with one stone-secure her magazine a top spot in the rankings and meet with the man of her adolescent dreams.
A dinner invitation isn't what she expects to get out of this interview, but the chemistry between them is undeniable.
With paparazzi watching Frankie's every move as the two jump into a stormy relationship, Cassy risks her career and her privacy-and possibly her heart-to be with the biggest rockstar on the planet. But is Frankie worth it? Is he the humble man she thinks he is or is he just that good at hiding his demons?
Final Serenade is the first installment in "The Encore" series. Cassy and Frankie's story concludes in One Last Verse.

The Lustful Sound (Book 4) ✓
One phone call. That's all it took to change Francesca "Frankie" Milton's life. She thought she was yelling at her ex, but the moment she heard that deep husky voice at the other end of the line, she knew she had made a big mistake. It wasn't her ex-fiancé's voice. Luckily for her, the man who answered her phone was intrigued by her raw anger and didn't take it personally. Even luckier, he wanted to get to know her a little more. She knew that these phone calls and texts with Luke were just a fling, a way to rebuild her trust in men, and what better way than to talk freely with a stranger from who knows where? That was until one fateful day when he was no longer a stranger, and she found herself wondering what was the better choice: giving Luke a chance or trying to forget about him and move on with her life. The problem with those options was that Luke only preferred one of them and was willing to go to great lengths to convince her to choose the right one. He just needed some face-to-face time to do it. Will she let him? "The Lustful Sound" is Book 4 of the "SWAT Team" series. It can be read as a stand-alone.Complete

▶ Kiana: For the past handful of years, hiding behind anonymous words suited me just fine. I could twist them, expressing myself, and know that people found something of themselves when they were sung. But anonymity is no longer possible. As much as I want to, I can't keep my head buried in the sand and ignore everything around me. Ignore the past and its importance. I'm stepping out of the shadows, in part because I don't have a choice. The other part, though... Because I want to take the plunge and see what's on the other side. Most of all, find my heart again and get things right this time around. However, it's soon apparent that not everyone is in agreement with this new development. I guess I'll see just how many potholes I'll find during this journey. ▶ Duncan: Most people think I have everything I want. Most people also don't know the first thing about me, just what's out there, what I allow them to know. They don't know that fame and money means nothing without the family I've made. The family that's been incomplete for years. However... It doesn't mean I'm a happy camper when that changes, when the missing piece appears out of nowhere. First, because it forces me to face all the feelings, good and bad, that I've tried to push down. Second, because she's not quite the same... But that's okay. And third, because someone thinks they can mess with her, with us. In the end of the day, there's one thing that's as sure as the sun rising every morning: nothing and no one is stepping between me and Kiana this time. Not on my watch. 🏆300 × Adult × 11/17/20 🏆67 × Romantic Suspense × 11/30/2020 Book one in the Toxic Climax series. Dual POV, second-chance love story. 5k-word chapters on Fridays.
