In the glittering world of 1990s rock and roll, Tawny Kitaen's life is a high-wire act of fame and turmoil.  Behind the dazzling stage lights and roaring crowds, she grapples with the deepening rift in her marriage to rock star David Coverdale.  As their once-passionate relationship teeters on the edge, Tawny finds herself haunted by the echoes of their shared past and the unspoken words that now separate them.  

Amid her crisis, Tawny retreats to her dressing room, where the haunting strains of Whitesnake's 'Too Many Tears' play in the background, mirroring her emotional desolation.  While the song's poignant lyrics reflect the heartbreak she struggles to acknowledge, Tawny remains oblivious to the full weight of their meaning.  

As she confronts the distance between herself and David, Tawny's journey is a poignant exploration of love, loss, and self-discovery.  With each passing moment, the haunting whispers of her past and the fading flame of her relationship force her to face uncomfortable truths and seek a path to reconciliation or resolution.  

Whispers in the Spotlight delves into the complexities of a life lived under the public eye, the strains of fame on personal relationships, and the haunting melodies of a love that once burned bright but now flickers in the shadows of regret.All Rights Reserved

Chasing You by EmptyNestWriter

Some boys want an audience. The right one learns to listen. When Eliana Cassabria-Prescott moves to Seabright Cove, she plans to disappear-just a girl, a guitar, and a bench with a view. Then quarterback Kason Barnes smiles like a promise, and suddenly senior year tastes like kettle corn, bonfires, and firsts you don't admit out loud. College at Ravenwell University should make everything bigger and brighter. Instead it makes the gaps louder: fundraisers, fraternities, "optics," and a best-friend cheer captain (Savannah) who treats history like a claim. One broken promise becomes two, then ten, and Eliana does the unthinkable-she stops translating apologies into love. Enter Hendrix McBride: smoky-voiced composer, two years ahead, boots and bad habits, the kind of steady that makes a room go quiet. He offers time instead of a spotlight, truth instead of performance, and a simple rule for music and everything else-leave air; the right notes will hold. Now Kason is chasing Eliana. Savannah is chasing Kason. And Eliana is done running-for anyone. Between a stadium that wants her on his arm and a practice room that wants her whole, she'll choose the life that hears her.

Duncan by veritynichols

▶ 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.
