Michelle Lynn ft. Nevaeh Lee
This is not your typical rock star romance. For one, the “rock star” is a rapper. And not just any rapper. Trace is the hottest ticket in the music industry right now, regardless of which definition of ‘hot’ you choose.
Taryn Starr is not the girl-next-door who unknowingly meets a celebrity. Known as “America’s Sweetheart,” the reigning country music princess and world-renowned superstar knows exactly who Trace is…or does she?
Their worlds collide when the musicians whose paths were never destined to cross are forced by their joint record label to collaborate on a song. The sparks fly and ignite a fire that blazes hotter with every minute they spend together—for better or worse. One thing’s for certain, the two media magnets can’t deny their explosive chemistry, but will life in the spotlight ultimately bring Trace and Taryn together or force them apart?
***This contemporary romance new adult novel is for mature audiences. The language alone would make a sailor blush (the guy’s a rapper, remember?) so 18+ only, please

DREAM CAST:
Excerpt:
The
limo driver opens my door and just as I’m about to swing my legs out, I catch a
glimpse of the guy who snaked my award. He and his entourage are working the
carpet, though instead of keeping their distance from the masses who are
screaming his name, they’re actually hugging and kissing everyone they come in
contact with. You have got to be kidding me. “Ridiculous,” my mom says, the
distaste evident in her voice. “Couldn’t they have more class?”
Ignoring
her, I continue to carefully exit the vehicle, and soon the crowd collectively
starts to holler my name. After waving,
I start my walk and can’t help but notice he stops just outside the doors and
turns around. Obviously disappointed the crowd is no longer all about him. I happily sign a few autographs while feeling
his gaze on me from the corner of my eyes.
Trying to ignore it, I continue signing, waiting for him to make his way
inside. “That’s enough,” my mom tells
the young girl holding her paper and pen to me.
Shooing her hand off the paper, I smile and sign anyway, handing it back
to the girl. Her ecstatic yelling and
jumping is enough to make me giggle.
My
mom, not willing to take any chance of me disobeying her again, firmly places
her hand on my elbow and leads me back up the carpeted walkway. My laughter quickly quiets and my smile turns
down when I spot him still standing there, staring directly at me. Other than his two bodyguards standing at
either side of him, no one else is around.
Those mesmerizing blue eyes bore into me the closer I get. Swallowing hard, I will my heart to calm down
before I reach him.
He
places his hand on the door handle and opens it for me. I quietly give him my thanks and enter with
my mom following close behind. When the doors shut, he comes alongside me. “I
just wanted to say congratulations on the award.” He holds his hand out for me
to shake and when I place my hand in his, I’m amazed how soft his hands feel. I
guess if I wasn’t plucking guitar strings all day, that’s how my hands would
feel too. Unexpectedly, he pulls me into him and his lips brush against my
cheek as he whispers, “But it should have been mine.” With a chuckle, he walks
away, once again leaving before I have a chance to respond.
Michelle Lynn Bio:
Michelle moved around the Midwest most of her life,
transferring from school to school before settling down in the outskirts of
Chicago ten years ago, where she now resides with her husband and two
kids. She developed a love of reading at
a young age, which helped lay the foundation for her passion to write. With the encouragement of her family, she
finally sat down and wrote one of the many stories that have been floating
around in her head. When she isn’t reading or writing, she can be found playing
with her kids, talking to her mom on the phone, or hanging out with her family
and friends. But after chasing around
twin preschoolers all day, she always cherishes her relaxation time after
putting the kids to bed.
Nevaeh Lee Bio:
Nevaeh’s first exposure to writing
began in a middle school creative writing class. She was reprimanded for
composing a politically incorrect story and forced to re-write about a “safer”
topic. Being the writing rebel that she is, Nevaeh always likes to push the
envelope a bit and never re-writes, unless her editor insists on it.
When she’s not writing, Nevaeh is a
freelance book editor ;). And when she’s not reading, writing, or editing, she
can be found spending time with her family and taking road trips, exploring the
area around wherever she happens to be living at the time. Even though “home”
will always be Texas, she has lived in several different states and countries,
but currently resides in the DC metro area.
She also adores her really big dog
who frequently takes her for walks while enduring her many story ideas and
rambling dialogue, which sometimes occurs in multiple languages. After many
years of this, she finally decided to start writing out some of these stories
and her first book, a joint effort called Collaboration, will be
self-published on January 26, 2014.
