Rade

Harper, lead singer of glam rock sensation The Rade, knows his face, his body, and his voice are beautiful -- so what if he secretly suspects he's an unlovable mess? He and his bandmates escaped a tortured existence in Fairyland years ago, and now they use their glamour and style to delight mortals instead of enthralling them. They love what they do, so when another band starts talking trash on their authenticity, Harper has to clap back. Beck O'Leary, lead singer of hard rock outfit Fireborn, has three platinum albums and the perfect life, and he's miserable. His bandmates are a joke, his family is held together with emotional duct tape, and his writing is, for the first time in his life, uninspired. He starts trash talking The Rade out of a petty grudge, but then keeps doing it for the thrill he gets from Harper's livestreamed reactions. And hates himself for both. When the two front men finally meet, they can't deny their physical attraction. Sparks fly after a charity football game, but fan gossip takes a dark turn. Between Beck's disintegrating life and Harper's secret Fae existence, there's a lot to handle if they want to hang onto the magic they've found in each other. Or maybe two lead singers in one relationship is just too much?

Lead guitarist Robin is a broody, beloved fan darling. He's also the only member of The Rade who doesn't have a love story so far. While fans and the press speculate, Rob's busy dealing with his traumatic past as a real-life prince of Fairyland. His mother, the queen of the Winter Court, has finally had enough of his self-imposed exile. Kay was raised in the queen's palace, stripped of his history and sharpened like a blade to become the perfect assassin. Nevertheless, when the queen sends him after the exiled prince, Robin and his friends turn out to be too much for Kay to handle. Robin sees his own past, his own flaws in Kay's charming mix of innocence and bloodthirstiness and thinks he can be saved. The rest of The Rade aren't so sure, but with patience, music, and compassion, Robin proves to Kay that there's more to life than what he experienced in the narrow confines of the queen's service. In the process, he gets closer to the angel-faced assassin than either of them ever thought possible. But there's no future for any of them until they deal with the fairy queen who wants them dead.
