Synopsis
Welcome to STARSTRUCK, a showplace for talent, a playground for love.The hot nights amp up with Rossi’s novella JADED, part of a new contemporary continuity series by Beth Ciotta, Cynthia Valero, and Elle J Rossi. Three authors. One world.
MARRY ME, BROOKLYN.
Four years ago Brooklyn ran from that plea and straight toward what she dreamed would be a better future. An aspiring fashion designer destined for more than the boredom of small town life and the strain of a whiskey-saturated family, she launched herself toward the runways of New York.
I CAN’T.
Emmett couldn’t compete with the glitz of the big city, let alone erase Brooklyn's emotional scars. When she turned down his proposal and left him behind, he poured what was left of his heart into his music. He got through with three rules: Play the guitar. Play the field. Forget about Brooklyn.
Now Brooklyn is back and the past and present collide inside Starstruck when Brooklyn fills in as lead singer for Emmett’s band. Night after night of thumping bass and passionately sung lyrics reminds them of every delicious memory they ever shared. But a sizzling attraction can only go so far when emotions are raw and trust is fragile. Emmett still wants forever. Brooklyn is only good at temporary.
Can two hearts find a way to truly connect off the stage, or will they stay forever jaded?
Excerpt
“Brooklyn’s auditioning to be the singer in your band tonight,” Jenna announced in a cheerful voice, clearly enjoying the tension.
Emmett nearly choked on his beer.
Brooklyn coughed and added a little fire to the daggers she shot Jenna’s way. “Maybe. I’m not sure about that.”
Undeterred, Jenna smiled. “Yeah, right.” Turning to Emmett, she said, “She already sang for Rusty. It’s practically a done deal.”
Emmett set his beer on the bar and drew in a long breath. “You sang for Rusty?”
One nod. Not a word.
Emmett’s mind flashed to four years ago, as it often did. Brooklyn lying between his legs in the bed of his truck, her back to his front, while he strummed his guitar. Their voices had gelled every bit as much as their bodies had. The sound of their harmonies had him flipping her over and devouring her on more than one occasion. His blood heated at the memory. Mentally extinguishing the fire beneath his skin, he asked, “You want to sing in the band?”
Brooklyn chewed on that plump lower lip. “I have to.”
