Mattie Bellamy is a songwriter. 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. Not the talented lyricist and musician she is in her own right. The respect and recognition she yearns for seem out of reach, at least until Adam Brooks demands to work with her. Adam Brooks, front man and driving force behind chart-topping rock band Delusions of Glory, is having album troubles. His bandmate and co-writer has abruptly retired to take care of his family and now there’s a hole in Adam’s creative process. He’s tried to make it work with some of the top songwriters in LA, but isn’t having any luck finding the harmony to his melody. 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. But not even lovely remote Syer Island can shield Mattie and Adam from the cold harsh camera flash of reality forever. Can Adam convince Mattie they’re meant to be together? Or is their relationship destined to be just one more tragic lovesong? Author's Note: Take a rockstar hero and pop princess heroine. Stick them in forced proximity on a tropical island. He’s all in and she’s got good reasons for staying out. Add in ocean surf, moonlight, and a mutual passion for music. The result? An unconventional workplace romance that’s as impossible to resist as a Sex on The Beach cocktail. Steam Level: Sunburn. Shenanigan Level: Extreme. Feels: Hits all the high notes. less

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

Della Bellamy is trying to be a better person, which isn’t always easy for a world famous pop star. Her diva recovery program takes a serious hit when she attracts the attention of a mysterious and motivated stalker. Suddenly all her nearest and dearest are completely over-reacting. A bunch of flowers and one creepy note doesn’t mean she needs a whole bunch of extra bodyguards, especially when they’re led by the prickly, overbearing, fun-killing Ward the Warden. Donovan Ward is a former marine and the owner of the up-and-coming protection company Storm Securities. Taking difficult jobs is a necessary part of any new business, but Della Bellamy is a handful even by spoiled celebrity standards. If she wasn’t in real danger, he’d be tempted to strangle her himself. But the Della’s stalker turns out to be no amateur, and Ward’s job is to protect her. Period. When Ward is forced to relocate one of the world’s most recognizable women, he turns to the only place he knows every street and alley like the back of his hand…his hometown. Sticking a city girl in a small town seems risky, but nobody will suspect who she really is if they can keep up a simple game of pretend until the stalker is dealt with. Della and Ward grow closer as the stalker circles in. Will the stranger harassing Della be caught before he causes any real harm? Or will Ward lose another woman he loves? less
