Double Exposition

2017

A former boyband star gets a little musical education from a sexy violinist. Will they stay in different keys or find a way to play in tune? The first time I saw her I knew I wanted her. And when she talked music with me? I didn’t stand a chance. When she found out my secret past—that I used to be a famous pop star—I expected her to fangirl all over me. Because even though it’s been years since people cared about us, a ton of girls who grew up with our music still go nuts when they find out who I am. Not Gabby. She was more interested in our future than my past. I tried to stay away at first. She’s so young, eighteen to my twenty-two. Just starting out in college while I’m getting ready to leave. But I couldn’t leave her alone. Her passion, her drive, her intoxicating combination of innocence and audacity. And that sexy little Texas twang. Damn. I was sunk from the start. With her help, I started writing better songs than ever. And when a video of me playing a new song landed on YouTube and went viral, my life exploded in a return to fame I never thought I wanted. How can I pass up this chance now that it’s being offered to me again? But if I take it, will Gabby and I be able to survive? If you like rock star romances and sexy musicians, or you’ve ever been curious about what happens to a one hit wonder after the fame fades, don’t miss the first installment in this fresh take on a familiar trope. Full of sizzling chemistry and heartfelt emotion, grab this new adult pop star romance now!

Development

2017

Summertime … and the living is easy. Unless you’re dating the next big pop star, and your meddling parents are holding you hostage a thousand miles away. After spending nine months with Jonathan, being apart is harder than I expected. When I finally get to California for a two week visit—with my older sister in tow as a chaperone—my welcome from his mom and manager is colder than I expected. They think I’m a distraction. And their thinly veiled barbs make the city of angels feel more like the city of vipers. Despite interference and roadblocks, the summer is full of new opportunities and our time together is everything I want it to be. But when the summer ends, I’m headed back to college while Jonathan starts his North American tour. I knew dating a popstar wasn’t going to be easy, but how am I going to handle spending even more time apart?

Recapitulation

2018

Jonathan: Exhilaration. Elation. Triumph. Launching my North American tour is everything I ever dreamed it would be. Except … I only see Gabby in weekends shoehorned around shows. Stolen moments where she can come to me or I can take a break to visit her. Holed up together in a hotel. It’s better than nothing, but it’s a far cry from my ideal. Without her none of this would be happening. It seems wrong that she’s not with me. Gabby: Depressing. Stressful. Lonely. Returning to school without Jonathan is everything I feared it would be. Even surrounded by friends, there’s no one who understands the difficulties of juggling all the demands on my time. I want to quit and join Jonathan, but how can I give up on my own dreams? I know I wouldn’t be happy just as a rockstar's girlfriend. But my punishing schedule, jet lag, and distance all strain our relationship and communication. And I’m afraid that if we continue like this, something will eventually break. Part rockstar romance, part coming of age story, Recapitulation brings us full circle, back to Marycliff University, but with a twist. It’s a story of staying true to yourself and following your dreams in the face of pressure on all sides. The stunning conclusion to Jonathan and Gabby’s tale gives you everything you want in a romance novel—sizzling heat, heartfelt emotion, and most importantly, the happily ever after.
