Music is powerful. The melodies crash through our bloodstream and make us feel
whatever it is that the musician/lyricist wanted us to feel: anger, despair,
desire, love, longing, happiness. Every emotion we can imagine is expressed in
music.
When I got the idea for my new Love You Like A Love Song
Series, I was struggling with the question asked today; If this book had a
music soundtrack, what would it be and why?
And then I thought, the romance should have its own song, a song that
tells the story of these two characters. Their love story is unique, and
strange, and powerful. And so, my Love You Like A Love Song
series was born. CRASH
AND BURN, ALONE WITH
YOU (Feb 2016), UP ALL NIGHT (March 2016) and MAKE ME FORGET
(April 2016) – with more to come
So, I sat down with the vague idea for CRASH AND BURN, day one,
page one, and I started with song lyrics. It sounds crazy -- and I felt a little
crazy when I was writing it -- but the lyrics came, and with them came the voice
of my heroine, Erin Michaelson, as she introduced herself to me. Turned out she
was a songwriter/guitarist and falling in love was so far down her “to-do” list
that meeting Chance throws her into a total tailspin.
She wrote the song lyrics for CRASH AND BURN at the low
point of the story, when she knows that she is truly, madly, deeply in love with
Chance Walker, but feels that it’s just not going to work out.
These two lovers are passionate, and torn, and they broke my heart a little bit.
But this is a romance, after all, and I promise you these two get their happily
ever after – even if it is a crazy-emotional ride.
Here’s my song list, the songs that filled my headphones as I wrote Chance and
Erin’s love story. Some you may know, a couple are older than I am, but they all
have a place in this love story. Happy reading – and listening!
Every love story should have its own song...
A childhood promise has
Chance Walker picking up a guitar once again. Sure, he's been busy growing up,
finishing college, and even law school. He made a promise to his dying mother
and he’s determined to keep it. While his guitar playing dreams were big when he
was a kid, his skill is rusty and he hires Erin Michaelson to bring music back
into his life. Not only is she incredibly talented, she's one of the sexiest
women he’s ever met. It's hard to focus on correct finger position when her
sweet scent threatens to drive him out of his mind.
Less than
twenty-four hours after his first lesson he sees her again, but this time she’s
on stage using another name and seducing an entire audience of men. He played
the gentleman card once, and it got him nowhere. This time, all bets are off and
he’ll do whatever it takes to keep her. A single, sizzling backstage kiss will
change both of their lives forever, because Chance soon realizes that Erin is
not just an itch, she’s an obsession that he refuses to live without.
Erin Michaelson spends her days teaching guitar and her nights on stage as
her sexy alter-ego, Eva James. Music is her dream, her passion. All she wants is
to say goodbye to a lifetime of scraping by, working two jobs, and paying for
past mistakes. When a major record label exec hears her band play, she gets her
big break. But life can be a real bitch, and meeting Chance now is just bad
timing.
Problem #1: The record label wants her to dump her band and
move to L.A. Problem #2: She hadn’t counted on Chance Walker and the scorching
heat of that first kiss. And last but not least is Problem #3: Is Chance really
falling in love with the dull guitar teacher, or is he really just lusting after
the sexy Eva James?
Will success make all of Erin's dreams come true?
Or will falling in love make them both crash and burn?
Crash and Burn is a
scorching hot, contemporary, new adult romance of 58,000 words. The story
contains explicit love scenes and is intended for an adult audience. Coming
soon, fall in love with the other Walker brothers in Alone With You (Feb 2016),
Up All Night (Mar 2016) and Make Me Forget (April 2016).
