SYNOPSIS:
Welcome to Cyrene, a city where energy is
currency and music is the lifeblood of its young citizens. Everyone lives on
the grid, and the residents of the world’s largest playground are encouraged to
pursue every physical and emotional pleasure imaginable.
Vee is the lead singer of the Sugar Skulls,
an all-girl band that is Corporate’s newest pet project. Micah haunts the city
like a ghost after an overdose of a deadly illegal street drug knocks him off
the grid. When Micah and Vee forge an immediate, undeniable connection, their
troubled worlds collide.
Trading concert stages for Cyrene’s
rooftops and back alleys, they have to evade vicious thugs and Vee’s possessive
manager as they unravel the mysteries connected to their dark pasts. And before
the curtain falls, Micah and Vee will bring the city to its knees in their
desperate bid for love, home, and a future together.
EXCERPT:
If
strings ran up my spine, she just plucked the high E, a fierce vibration that
shakes me to my core.
She looks
away, and quakes subside into mere tremors. Propping myself up against the bar,
I abandon my drink to process the last few seconds.
All these
months, there’s been nothing. But just now? I felt it. I feel it. I
pulse with life, lightning dancing across my skin as she batters the crowd with
furious verses.
But I’m
stuck on that first gasp.
One note.
One word. She laid me low and resurrected me in one fell swoop.
Who is
this girl?
