They were supposed to be bandmates-nothing more.

A year and a half ago, four strangers met at a music festival in Las Vegas and, on a whim, formed Fallen Requiem. One viral video and a record deal later, their debut album is climbing charts, their tour is nearly over, and their faces are suddenly everywhere.

For lead singer Ezra Vale, the whirlwind feels like a dream and a trap in equal measure. Every lyric he writes exposes more of himself than he means to. Every interview chips away at the person he used to be.

For guitarist Rowan Cade, music has always been home-but lately, Ezra feels like the melody he can't stop chasing. They're inseparable on stage, reckless off it, and closer than either of them dares to name.

As Fallen Requiem's fame grows, so do the questions they can't ignore-the rumors, the sleepless nights, the undeniable gravity between them. In the spotlight, they play the roles the world demands. Backstage, something real is beginning to burn.

Maybe love isn't the question.
Maybe it's the one they've been too afraid to ask.

▶ 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. Please note: Toxic Climax is just the name of the band. Warning: strong language (a lot), sex (some) and violence (uh... some as well). It is mature and, as such, if this bothers you and/or you're under 18, please don't read it.

How would you stop your world from ending? Sky St. James asks himself this very question when his perfect life as a rock star starts to crumble. As the lead singer of the notorious band, Dante's Inferno, part of Sky's job is to keep the band together. Yet, it becomes increasingly difficult when his bandmates battle over everything from girls to their conflicting belief systems. When the band sets out on a new tour, the bad blood makes it seem like their latest tour might be their last. Sky turns to the captivating clutches of cocaine to escape his problems, but even that isn't enough to save him. As the warring pressure mounts, so do Sky's cravings and desperation. Oblivious to the band's imperfections, three teen fans are completely devoted to the Dante boys. The ultimate "fangirls" with poster-laden rooms and CDs endlessly on repeat. They will resort to anything to get concert tickets; a path that eventually sucks one of the girls into blackmail to accomplish their goal. Little do the girls know, nothing will go as they plan when Sky finally reaches his breaking point. One that he will only be able to overcome with the support of his bandmates. While the girls cling to the remnants of the band and what might have been, the Dante's Inferno boys face a tough choice. They will have to join together for their friend and the band, or this journey may be their final crescendo. *** This brilliant cover design is courtesy of artist, Vanessa Mendozzi: https://www.vanessamendozzidesign.com/ ***

Ella Ryder has some baggage as every human does, with walls built around her heart letting someone in is difficult. But, even she cannot deny her crush on her favorite lead singer, Damien Black, from her favorite band Eros. "The feeling of your soft skin and the smell of strawberry and coconut filled my nostrils as you laid your head against my chest just made me feel so relaxed that before I knew it I felt my eyes drooping until I was asleep," with a small blush growing on his and my cheeks as he finished talking put butterflies into my stomach and helped ease my attack. "Um uh wow, thank you," looking away from his stare I get up and bring my arms over my head stretching out to help the blood flow circulate better. Once done I sit down next to Damien but not as close as we were before putting a little space between us. Damien, however, does not take the hint as he scoots closer to me with a little smirk on his beautiful clear cinnamon color skin. I can't with this boy haha. "Am I making you nervous Ella? Why I never meant to do that Kitten," sitting thigh to thigh now Damien puts his two fingers underneath my chin bringing us face to face again. The notorious Damien Black, the lead singer of Eros, always gets what he wants with being in a band and his gorgeous looks. Yet, even he dreams of more than the rockstar life, but sometimes what we want in life can be the hardest to get. Please vote, comment, and follow me!

When He Becomes Her💦

13 parts Complete Mature

"He was my best friend-until I became her." 💫 When He Becomes Her Noah's never questioned who he is - or who he wants - until the night his best friend, Eli, gets cursed by a furious ex-girlfriend... in the middle of his own concert. One minute, Eli's a cocky, red-haired rockstar with a guitar and too much attitude. The next, he's waking up in a woman's body, with Noah staring at him like the world just tilted on its axis. Noah tries to play it cool, pretending nothing's changed - except everything has. Eli's still the same sarcastic, stubborn soul he's always known... only now, she smells like trouble and looks like the kind of temptation he's not supposed to want. The problem? Eli's always had a crush on him - long before magic got involved. And Noah's just starting to realize that maybe gender never mattered. Maybe love's been right there all along. ✨ A magical comedy romance about friendship, identity, and falling for the same person twice - even when the universe refuses to make it simple.
