About

The decade-long friendship between two rock goddesses is thrust into the spotlight after their mutual desire strikes a perfect-and very public-chord.

For Glitter Bats keys player Jane Mercer, writing music helps tune out her self-doubt from a strict upbringing. Composing also distracts from her longtime feelings for her bandmate and best friend, Keeley, who Jane can't pursue if she wants to keep her bisexuality out of the media. But when an incompetent percussionist quits mid–recording session on one of her major solo projects, there's only one drummer to call to make the deadline.

Keeley Cunningham is determined to do what's best for the newly-reunited Glitter Bats-including conceal her incurable attraction to Jane by keeping her distance. Still, when Jane asks for her help in the studio, Keeley drops everything to fill in. They collaborate harmoniously… until their repressed feelings crescendo into a massive argument about the band's future that leaves them barely speaking.

As music forces Jane and Keeley into increasingly close proximity, the lingering tension finally ignites into the romance they've both been craving-and it's hot, emotional, and fundamentally secret. But after an intimate moment is caught on camera, they'll have to decide if their duet can survive its debut-both on and off stage. Praise for For One Night Only
