One demo. One voice. One life-altering decision.
Beth Daniels never chased fame-it found her. Plucked from obscurity and dropped into the chaos of the American rock scene, she's the last thing Eternal Echoes expected: a quiet, bookish Brit with a voice that cuts straight to the soul.
But music isn't the only thing that ignites between Beth and the band-especially the magnetic and guarded lead singer, Jordan Riley. The deeper she falls into their world-and into his arms-the more the lines between love, loyalty, and ambition begin to blur.
When tragedy calls her home, Beth must make a devastating choice between the life she always knew and the one she never dared to dream. And walking away might mean breaking more than just hearts-it could silence her future forever.
Chasing Echoes is a raw, emotional tale of fame, first love, and the echo that lingers long after the final note.
Set in 2010, Chasing Echoes is the first book in the Echoes Trilogy.
