Their talent is undeniable.

Their attraction to each other? Unthinkable.

Josephine:
After a lifetime of being in my rock-n-roll father’s shadow, I’ve set up the perfect summer tour: me, my piano, and a drummer. But when that drummer flakes on me, his replacement is the very man I thought I’d never see again: my childhood best friend. The very boy I turned away from when his father died in a tour bus accident that left my own dad entirely unscathed. Only now, Van Gordon is very much not a boy. He’s sizzling hot, and he’s everything I don’t need.

Van:
Seeing Josephine on the other side of the audition was a lightning strike. She’s bold and beautiful, and I’m drawn to her just like I was when we were kids. The tour is incredible, and our growing chemistry is electric both on and off stage. It’s not long before we’re sharing a bed and readying a new tour with one of the hottest acts in America. The problem? I can’t handle being on a bus. And drinking is the only way to deal. Seems the lightning I caught is going to burn me alive.

I loved this one so much. The characters are amazing, the banter is hilarious, the spice is perfect, and the witchy vibes is the perfect amount of fairy dust over the whole thing.

About Me

Valerie Pepper writes steamy romantic comedies about small towns. She's an incurable optimist and a firm believer in real-life happily ever afters, even if it takes more than one try.

 

When she’s not writing, you can find her reading, hiking, listening to whatever music suits her mood, and hanging out with her family. She’s fascinated with the idea of a capsule wardrobe, but loves clothes and shoes far too much to make a real go of it.

 

She’s currently living out her own happily ever after in Birmingham, Alabama with her family and maaaaaybe too many shoes.
