Music has always been the biggest and best part of her life, but there’s been a hole in it ever since she and her sisters broke up. Piper and Della were the voices she wrote her songs for and without them she’s struggling to find a voice of her own. She’s tried to find other musical partnerships, but the press and most of the other musicians she’s worked with just see her as the least popular member of a former girl group.

That is until he hears Mattie Bellamy’s musical expertise is on the table. Adam’s had a thing for her since he was a kid. And if all expenses paid working trip to a private tropical island is what she needs to say yes… well, the band was due for some fun in the sun.But what begins as Adam’s excuse to spend time with his teenage crush quickly morphs into something far more serious. Mattie can’t believe she’s finally found someone who really believes in her, and spending time with Mattie is even better than Adam’s teenage dreams imagined.

Piper Bellamy and her sisters became international sensations when she was in her teens, and living the dream was everything she thought it would be…until it wasn’t. When her youngest sister broke up their group to go solo it hit Piper like a sucker punch, one that took five long years to heal. But now Piper has a new dream her sister can’t take away. She’s been cast as the lead in an animated feature film and when the project’s done it will prove that she can shine out from under her sister’s shadow. The problem is her smirky new leading man Blake Ryan. He’s treating her debut like it’s an irritating speed bump, and she’s not about to let him ruin her chances of success. Blake Ryan is an Oscar winner and a certified Hollywood heartthrob, but he’s tired of being in front of the camera. A major studio is finally willing to back his directorial debut, but there’s a catch. If Blake wants a green light for his new project, first he has to play the lead in their animated musical movie. The problem is his co-star Piper Bellamy is such a perfectionist about the music that she refuses to give her stamp of approval on any of the songs. Now his throat is raw, his patience is running thin, and his passion project is on very shaky ground. As Piper and Blake spend more time together their dislike-at-first-sight turns into another kind of tension, but not everyone is thrilled to see their relationship develop. Can Blake convince Piper that their love is destined for more than the cutting room floor? less
