Don't read this. Unless of course, you have a strange interest for stories than involve a shy, awkward teenage girl who made it big in the music industry. Then be my guest and continue reading. Just like several other newly-discovered artists, I was found on the internet. I sing. I write songs. I play guitar. So how am I worthy of stardom? Honestly, I don't think I am. You know who's worthy of stardom? This new musician named Spencer Caldwell. He's everything I'm not. And he's far better-suited for a hectic life of touring and publicity. We're different. And yet it appears to me that were going down this road together. Book 1 of the "Stars Are Born" Trilogy.Complete

Heat was radiating off him, scorching me all the way down my spine as he held me tightly against him. His quick breaths were falling on the back of my neck with a tingling warmth that brought goosebumps to the surface of my skin. Placing one large hand on my shoulder, he wrapped my long brown hair around his other. Gently, he tugged on my dark mane, pulling my head to the side and exposing the tender column of my neck. Bringing his nose down to the crook there, he inhaled deeply, a rumbling "mmmm" escaping his lips. My mouth went dry. "Are-" I swallowed. "Are you going to mark me?" I manage in a stuttered whisper.
