Jess is an innocent soul with one fervent desire: to bind herself to Shaun forever. She dedicates herself to becoming the perfect woman for him, serving him with unwavering devotion as her first love.

Shaun, driven by determination, fixates on a singular goal: to obliterate Rick, his self-proclaimed nemesis in the music industry. He's set on removing Rick from the spotlight he's monopolized for too long, willing to manipulate Jess's innocence to achieve his ambitions.

Rick, a celebrated musician loved by many, has inspired countless with his haunting melodies that transport listeners to ethereal realms. Yet, beneath his fame lies a darkness from his past that relentlessly haunts him. Will he confront his demons and break free from their grip, or remain shackled to his fears?

These three lives are intertwined by sorrow, ambition, and guilt, bound together by the rhythmic pulse of their intertwined destinies.

Erin Cooper hasn't had an easy life. Kicked out of her home because of her sexual orientation, she was forced to drop out of university to care for her ailing grandmother. Juggling two jobs just to make ends meet, Erin has spent the last ten years living with her supportive girlfriend and holding on to one dream: becoming a music producer. Her chance finally arrives in the form of a competition-an open call to create the perfect remix for none other than Jessica Carter, the breathtaking singer with an angelic voice. For Erin, this competition isn't just about her career; it's also a chance to meet her childhood crush, the woman responsible for her gay awakening, and finally step into the world of music she's always dreamed of. Jessica Carter has been a dominant force in the music industry for over a decade. Staying relevant in such a demanding field isn't easy, and the constant pressure to reinvent herself and appeal to younger audiences is starting to wear her down. Her manager proposes an exciting idea: a remix competition for her latest hit. The winner gets the chance to meet Jessica in person-a surefire way to energize her fanbase and ignite fresh creativity. But neither of them could have anticipated what happens next. When Erin wins the competition, sparks fly, and Jessica finds her heart skipping a beat every time they're together. As they're forced to collaborate on Jessica's most important album yet, tension rises, passions flare, and both women must confront their fears, ambitions, and the undeniable connection between them. Will their collaboration create music that moves the world, or will the challenges of love and ambition tear them apart? This is a sequel to "Sealed with a kiss", but also standalone book.

Not even when he shouts at her and hits her. Jessie's best friend, Kolleen, can't stand seeing her in that situation. With a bit of convincing - and the worst beating she'd ever received - Jessie agrees to move into an apartment with Kolleen. But not long after, Jessie is scared the worst of her nightmares will soon become a reality. Josh goes missing, and suddenly Jessie would swear she's being followed. One night changes everything, and one person soon changes Jessie's outlook. A responding officer from that fateful night begins to seek her out, at first claiming it's part of his job. As she spends time with her new friend outside of his job, she starts realizing that her feelings are evolving. After being abused for over a year, Jessie is terrified she's falling in love. What's even more terrifying is that he might be, too. She isn't ready for love. Not yet. She makes up her mind that if he is falling, and if he does love her, he'll wait for her to be ready, and if she loves him, she won't let herself hurt him.
