In the heart of the 1960s, where rock 'n' roll reigns supreme, Eve Palmer is a woman shrouded in mystery, her soul echoing with melodies of a dark past she's desperate to escape. When fate intertwines her path with the charismatic Ricky Nelson, their worlds collide in a passionate duet of danger and desire. 

As the spotlight of fame casts its glow on Ricky, Eve finds herself drawn into the luminous world of stardom, her shadowy history lurking just beyond the stage lights. Ricky, enchanted by her enigmatic beauty and profound talent, becomes both her protector and co-star in a love story written in the key of life's most complex harmonies.

But the closer they become, the more the tendrils of her past threaten to ensnare them both. A relentless figure from the depths of Eve's former life emerges, determined to reclaim her with a possessive fervor that borders on obsession. As the tension mounts, their love is tested by the very music that brought them together.

Will the crescendo of their romance rise above the discordant notes of Eve's secrets, or will the finale be a requiem for their forbidden love? In a time when every song is a confession and every lyric a clue, "Heartstrings in Harmony" is a fanfiction that dances on the strings of suspense, love, and the undying hope for a second chance at life's greatest symphony.

~some things you just can't speak about.~ // hazel eloise finley's old english and frankly quite pretentious name was never released to public whenever she survived the shooting at her high school. not even after the paramedics took her away with a severe bullet wound to the calf or even whenever she drug and hopped herself outside for medical attention afterwards either. only known as the jane doe that survived a school shooting, and the years of physical therapy, permanent nerve damage and chronic pain proved to be the least of her worries. it took years of therapy, hospitalizations, and prescriptions for her to even feel ready to start college after high school. and whenever she did, much like her name, she was determined to bury it. despite the trauma she went on to become one of the most gifted music majors enrolled at the prestigious university in Nashville, TN, an honors student, a residential advisor, and slowly making her way to the student council someday. Though just coming into her sophomore year, a heavily tattooed literature major transfers into the room across from hers that throws everything off track. Julien Rose Baker infuriated her at first, not only because her friends and roommates were loud and obnoxious and stayed up all hours of the night playing loud music and probably doing anything but studying, but because she was better than her, in every sense of the word. sight reading music without missing a beat or a note, shredding her guitar in nearly every practice room, leaving most professors in awe of her vocal range, and not to mention the writings of hers read during some of the english classes the two shared. it was jealousy at its finest. though whenever an unexpected turn of events leaves hazel almost having no choice but to be vulnerable, something else besides avoiding her dorm neighbor might turn into something else. ~ TW for gun violence, ptsd, anxiety, depression, etc...

After losing her job and her girlfriend, it's time for Annie Abraham to admit defeat and move back in with her parents. She has hardly been back to her tiny Montana hometown since the unforgettable summer before her senior year of college, when she agreed to babysit for Laurel Jacobs. Annie didn't expect to fall in love back then, and she never thought that after all this time she'd still be in love with the woman she walked away from when she was twenty-one. Laurel Jacobs has never gotten over Annie Abraham. It's been almost a decade since their fling and she can't move on. She has her kids to think about - at least, she tells herself that's why she hasn't been on a single date since Annie left. Her life was different back then: when they met, she was in the middle of a divorce with two young kids and no idea how the future looked. Now she owns a bookstore, her kids are growing up, and she's too busy for romance. Annie thought she would have more time to settle back into life in Deer Pines before being confronted by the love of her life, but she's not that lucky. After all this time, she's back for good and Laurel is the first person she sees, when she has just spent seventeen hours on a train and she's desperately in need of caffeine. It's the first time they've seen each other in eight years and it isn't long before all those old feelings come rushing back to the surface. They weren't buried as deep as they thought they were. A lot has changed since they last saw each other, more than either of them realize, but life hands out second chances for a reason. The first time they fell in love, the timing was wrong. Now's their chance to make it right. © Elle Carrigan 2023

18+ | steamy, angsty rock star romance with a touch of humor THIS IS A SPIN-OFF SEQUEL TO "A SLIP OF THE HAND." It can be read as a stand-alone, but it does contain major ASotH spoilers. ***Proceed with caution! This blurb contains spoilers for "A Slip of the Hand"*** It starts at a wedding. Fiercely independent Seattleite Victoria Bradford has all but sworn off dating. But when she attends her cousin's glamorous Southern California wedding solo, she's blindsided by feelings of loneliness and inadequacy. In a moment of vulnerability, she meets a brooding, charming stranger. He's witty, disarmingly honest, and-oh yeah-the frontman of the chart-topping rock band, Oliver Rose and The Thorns. Oliver Rose is hollowed out by fame, not to mention the tumultuous journey that led to his latest multi-platinum album. He isn't looking to meet anyone, especially not at his childhood friend's wedding. But in Victoria, he finds someone who sees the man underneath the mask he wears. Victoria and Oliver's instant chemistry transcends their usual barriers, forging a connection neither expected. They've got everything going against them: a thousand miles distance, completely different lives, and the relentless pressures of Oliver's career. However, the biggest threat to their budding romance isn't their contrasting lifestyles. A relationship from Oliver's past threatens to eclipse everything.
