Ophelia Sinclair, a child prodigy turned jaded music scout, is used to spotting talent in a heartbeat. She's seen it all: the fame, the glamour, the broken dreams. At just eighteen, she's already made her mark in the industry, but now, everything feels... hollow. Her once-burning passion for music has dimmed under the weight of the business side, leaving her feeling more like a cog in the machine than an artist.
That is, until she hears him.
Nash Collins, a sixteen-year-old guitarist with a voice that could shatter glass, is the last person Ophelia expects to find in a dive bar. With his raw, imperfect sound and loud, impulsive, and reckless behavior, he shouldn't even be on her radar. But something about his unrefined talent speaks to Ophelia in a way she hasn't felt in years. The kind of raw, unpolished magic that can't be taught or manufactured. He's got it, even if he doesn't know it yet.
Ophelia offers him a chance to leave the small-time gigs behind, to step into the world of stardom, but Nash is hesitant. He doesn't want to be another manufactured pop star, another pawn in a broken system. As their worlds collide, Ophelia is forced to confront her own disillusionment with the industry, and Nash finds himself drawn to the one person who sees beyond the noise of fame.
In a world where talent is exploited and dreams are bought and sold, can two prodigies find a way to make music on their own terms? Or will the weight of the industry tear them apart before they even have a chance to write their own story?

"Was it... about me?" "What would you say if it was?" I cocked my head to the side, our eyes staying connected with each other. "I wouldn't say." he moved closer to me, towering over by the slightest bit as his breath surrounded my every nerve.

Addicted
"You have no idea how badly I want to make love to you," he responds with a shake of his head. "I love you so much," he continues and my heart melts. "I love you," I whisper back. "Okay, I'm going to make love to you now, Angel. It will hurt a little, so let me know if it hurts too much," he says and leans down to kiss me. "I'll be gentle," he tells me. Keeping his eyes locked on mine he shifts his hips forward slightly and enters inside of me. My mouth widens as he enters, and I feel a slight pinch. He was right, it does hurt, but it's not terrible. "Christ! You're the sun!" he calls out. I watch his face crumble. He buries his face in my neck and then he's above me again, his hands on my cheeks again. ... For 20 year old Alison Scott, love was never something she deemed herself worthy of.

My Girl
Cal Jackson's new life as a rockstar fails to account for one thing: the existence of the girl he loves. ***** "What are you thinking about?" she asks. "A song," I say. "A new song." I stare at the ocean as I sing the song that I wrote, something that comes from the darkest place of my heart. "Do you even know how gifted you are?" she whispers. "You're destined to be someone big, Cal." "Really?" "Yeah." ***** She's perfect in every way. Beautiful. Smart. Her bright future is right there in front of her eyes. While here I am. Ruined. No college, let alone a future. Just an image of a wannabe rockstar with tattoed arms and an old guitar. I knew that our story would be no less than that tragic Romeo and Juliet shit the moment I laid my eyes on her, but still, I can't resist her. The moment she whispers my name, "Cal," I lose all sanity. She becomes my melody, my lyrics, the song that keeps echoing in my ears. People call her Mia. I call her my Amy, her name crafted above my beating heart, tattoed on my skin. Amelia Davis is my girl. Mine. And only mine. ***** THE JACKSONS BOOK #1 © 2021 Anya Jayvyn. All Rights Reserved.
