It's 2009. UTurn are on top of the world with their chart-topping hits, their popular teen TV series, and their sold-out world tour. Global domination was all they knew.

Now that they're signed to new labels and a new management team, they're ready to take a break and come back strong. But behind the scenes are those plotting to take them down during their triumphant return.
Will the villains, Libby and UTurn's unofficial spin-off band, 7th Anthem, win? Will UTurn redeem themselves from their scandals? Will Andrew and Alyson ever get back together again? This is book five of The One Series.

Playing with Fire
A grumpy/sunshine duo. A motorcycle rally. A slow burn MM romance with sparks, scars, and second chances. Carlos // The thing about fire is, you never notice how close you're standing until it burns. Chuck's that kind of fire-short fuse, sharp tongue, and the kind of stare that pins me in place. He drives me crazy, which would be fine if he didn't also make me laugh, listen, and look twice when no one else does. I told myself helping him plan this rally was just a favor for a friend. Then the late nights started feeling like something else entirely. Chuck // I don't do sunshine. I do engines, late shifts, and keeping my head down. But Carlos has this way of worming into my space, bright and relentless, until I start looking forward to the sound of his laugh more than the roar of my bike. He's everything I don't deserve. He's soft, open, good. And somehow, he's the one thing I can't seem to stay away from. 📖 Part of the Road to Us Collection The Road to Us Collection is a series of interconnected standalone queer romances about friendship, found family, and falling in love against the odds.
