Starfish

2019 Winner American Fiction Award for Romantic Comedy Ambitious graduate Marin Collins accepts a four-month internship at a prestigious public relations firm to work on a tech account, but her plans are derailed when she's assigned to go on the road with touring rock band Kings Quarters, hailed by Rolling Stone as the next big thing. Enter Brad Osterhauser, the reluctant rock star who would rather be coding computer games than penning Grammy-nominated songs. Traveling by bus, city to city with a group of practical joking bandmates and a greedy manager, Marin and Brad forge a friendship and forbidden romance over a shared love of Seinfeld episodes, stolen moments, and Red Vines. But when Marin's accused of betraying her company and the band, will Brad come to her defense or believe she was disloyal to him for the sake of her career?

Sparks fly when a sexy rock star is reunited with his small town, childhood best friend. With someone trying to tear them apart, can new love survive? People think they know Jase Connors: former front man for Kings Quarters, successful solo artist, consummate playboy. They're unaware of his humble roots, unmatched generosity and affection for his family. But Jase is tired from road life. Tired of road life. Just plain tired. He's seeking solace and someone who likes him for who he is and not what he became. Cami Ossining harbored a massive crush on her childhood best friend Jason who ghosted her to pursue rock star fame. Spunky, albeit lonely, Cami remains in her small hometown selflessly caring for everyone around her. When his beloved high school teacher passes away, Jase returns to his Midwestern childhood home to honor the teacher's final wishes. He and Cami are forced to work together in planning the memorial. Between reminiscing, overcoming past regrets and learning about one another, their old feelings and new desires emerge. What happens when someone trying to come between them tests their rekindled friendship and new-found love for one another? If you love steamy rock stars, small town romances, second chances, forced proximity, and combustible chemistry rolled into a fast-paced story. Dear Future Self is the second in the Starfish: A Rock Star Romance series but can be read as a standalone.

Despite the perks of band life, he's eager to make an enduring romantic connection. Rowan Edwards is an aspiring jewelry designer slogging away her days as an assistant photo editor while enduring the sexual harassment of her lecherous boss. Under a mountain of college debt, she can't yet afford to leave her job and pursue her artistic dreams. But when Oliver and Rowan hook up for an epic one-night stand, can Oliver prove he's no joke and their love is meant to last?
