Strawberry Lipstick Strains (Book 1)
In a world of Black and white, she was the only flash of pink he couldn't look away from.
Twenty - one year old Ivy Miller has a camera for a shield and a cynical view of the "glamorous" music industry. When she lands a job as the digital content creator for Dominic's massive world tour, she promises herself she won't become another cliche, the fan who falls for the rockstar.
But life on the tour bus is anything but professional. Between the 4 AM gas station runs, the adrenaline of the encore, and the quiet, vulnerable moments in the back lounge, Ivy starts to see the boy beneath the rebellious stage persona. Dominic is chaos personified, but he is also the only one who makes Ivy feel truly seen.
As the tour heats up and the stakes get higher, Ivy has to navigate a world of flashing cameras and secret hotel room visits. But in an industry built on labels and setlists.
Can a love this messy every be official? Or will their story just end up as another smudge of strawberry lipstick on a collar?
