Love is one dare neither of them can take...
Arabella Stone, Nashville's darling, is eager to shuck her prim-and-proper rep, and a few wild months spent checking items off her " summer bucket list" is the way to do it. First up: kiss the man she's crushed on since she wore a training bra, the bad boy of country himself, Blue bassist Charlie Tucker.
For Charlie, a beautiful woman flirting with him isn't out of the norm--but a beautiful woman bolting after the hottest kiss of his life sure is. And when he finds out his kiss-and-run Cinderella is none other than Arabella Stone, daughter of his label's CEO, he knows he's in trouble. Because not only is she a Stone, she's also his employee for the next few months at the recording studio he just bought.
Over the course of one thrilling summer, Arabella and Charlie chip away at her bucket list and fight the simmering attraction between them...knowing that once it's all over, so is their time together.

the blue - Role Model
"You came out of the blue like that I never could've seen you coming I think you're everything I've wanted" Juliet Anderson has always had a way with words. While she may not have the voice to match, her songwriting is nothing short of a superpower-lyrics and melodies come to her like second nature. At seventeen, she got her big break when she was invited to write for pop sensation Dua Lipa, and since then, she's been the secret force behind some of the biggest hits in the industry. Now, at twenty-four, Juliet is offered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity: an exclusive songwriting retreat with Tucker Pillsbury-better known as Role Model. He's known for his talent, his effortlessly cool sound, and, most of all, his sense of humor. She's never met him in person, but she already knows that spending a month living and writing together is bound to be both productive and chaotic in the best way. What starts as a creative partnership quickly turns into something more. Between late-night writing sessions, impromptu jam sessions, and Tucker's relentless ability to make her laugh until she can't breathe, Juliet finds herself letting her guard down in ways she never has before. Tucker isn't just talented-he's real, unfiltered, and unlike anyone she's ever worked with. As the songs for his new album take shape, so does something unexpected between them. Their friendship deepens, the lines blur, and suddenly, their lyrics aren't just about heartbreak and longing-they're about each other. But love isn't as easy to write as a song, and with the pressure of the industry, their careers, and the fear of ruining what they've built, they have to decide: do they risk everything for something real, or do they leave their love story in the lyrics?

I'm sorry but it's time I loved me more than you" I looked at him once more as a tear slid down his face as he stood there lost for words.
