As Riley nervously steps onto the stage, she captures the attention of not only the audience but also one of the returning judges, the renowned Gary Barlow. Gary, captivated by Riley's raw talent and vulnerability, sees beyond her insecurities to the star she could become. 

As the competition heats up, Riley finds herself navigating not just the pressures of performing but also the complexities of a deepening connection with Gary.

Amidst the glitz and glamour, secrets, and challenges, Riley embarks on a journey of self-discovery, uncovering her strength and worth along the way.

"The Spotlight" is a tale of music, passion, and self-discovery, where Riley Scott learns that sometimes finding your voice means embracing the courage to love against all odds.All Rights Reserved

Everything's so different by Lesliesaidso

Will running away from home make life harder than it was for Y/n? Leaving the country could make it even worse. But that's turned upside down when she meets her idol, too which they gain a friendship. It could grow into something more, but will that be ruined? ___ Basically just Aidan Gallagher x reader. I'll warn you the first two chapters don't really involve Aidan but they are super short. You can easily skip them, they're just there for the purpose of how the reader met him. This is also my first book so bare with me. Thanks for reading ❤️💕 #1 on aidangallagherxreader #1 on inspiring

A Summer Festival Dream by Mari-ZanneS

The story follows Emily, a young woman caught in the excitement of a summer festival and the unexpected emotions that arise when she spends time with Andrew, a friend of her best friend Jenna's husband. It begins in a warm, relaxed setting-a cozy living room where friends gather, dressed in summer clothes, buzzing with plans for the night ahead. Emily feels an instant attraction to Andrew, though she tries to keep it hidden. Jenna, who notices her friend's quiet crush, subtly arranges for Andrew to be the driver when her husband cannot join them, giving Emily and Andrew the perfect chance to spend more time together. As they drive through the golden evening streets, Emily wrestles with her nerves. A brief brush of legs, a fleeting touch of Andrew's hand as he shifts gears, and the unspoken tension between them builds. These small, seemingly accidental moments leave Emily's heart racing, unsure if Andrew feels the same or if she's imagining it. At the festival, the atmosphere is electric-colorful stalls, food stands, laughter, and the anticipation of seeing the famous DJ Black Coffee perform. Amid the crowd's energy, Emily gets separated from Jenna. Just as panic begins to set in, Andrew takes her hand, guiding her with a steady, reassuring presence. In that instant, the world seems to slow. Surrounded by noise and chaos, Emily and Andrew share a brief but powerful moment of connection, one that feels intimate and full of possibility. Though the spell is quickly broken when Jenna rejoins them, Emily carries the warmth of that touch and the memory of Andrew's gaze throughout the night. The story captures how small, unexpected moments-like a brush of a hand or a glance in the crowd-can spark hope and hint at something deeper waiting to unfold.
