Do you choose your dream job—or the guy you’ve always wanted?
Three years ago Hannah met a sexy surfer while on vacation in Westport, WA. After a whirlwind summer romance, he ghosts. She’s tried to move on, but no other guy has ever measured up. And now she comes face to face with him on the first day of her new internship. To make matters worse, he’s one of her managers, and he has no idea who she is.
Matt graduated in December after his final football season, and is now working a desk job. Having spent his whole life as an athlete, the day to day grind chafes at him. All his friends are moving on with relationships and pursuing their goals while he’s left as the third wheel. And despite his reputation as a player, he’s the only one who ever wanted a girlfriend.
And then Hannah Glover shows back up in his life—the girl who simultaneously made him want a relationship and ruined him for anyone else without him even realizing it. He wants her now more than ever, but she doesn’t trust him after the way he ended things before. Which should be fine since he’s her manager at his first job out of college, and their company has a strict no fraternization policy. But Matt just can’t seem to help himself where she’s concerned. And she won’t be an intern forever, right?
Will he be able to convince Hannah to give them another shot? Or will their past and their present conspire to keep them apart?

When she found out my secret past—that I used to be a famous pop star—I expected her to fangirl all over me. Because even though it’s been years since people cared about us, a ton of girls who grew up with our music still go nuts when they find out who I am.

Development, Book 2 (Coming December 4!)
Summertime … and the living is easy.
Unless you’re dating the next big pop star, and your meddling parents are holding you hostage more than a thousand miles away.
Okay, so maybe that’s a tad dramatic, but after spending all the time I want with Jonathan during the school year—playing music and helping him fill out the rest of his album—being separated is harder than I expected.
We manage to convince my parents to let me visit him in California for two weeks. But they have stipulations. My older sister has to come with me as a chaperone, and if we’re staying in Jonathan’s apartment, then he has to stay at his parents’ house.
Two weeks isn’t nearly long enough when I’d been pushing for the whole summer, but I’ll take what I can get.
Jonathan’s dad is friendly and welcoming, his brothers are warming up to me, but his mom … Well, let’s just say that I thought Dallas was the home of sugar-coated venom. I guess we don’t have a monopoly on that after all.
Despite parental interference on both sides, our time together is almost everything I hoped it would be. Unexpected opportunities come my way that make it impossible for my parents to drag me back home, extending my stay and forging valuable contacts in the music industry.
But all the good doesn’t cover over the fact that Jonathan’s mom and manager both think I’m a distraction. Their thinly veiled barbs make the city of angels feel more like the city of vipers.
Once our summer together ends, I’ll head back to Marycliff University while Jonathan goes on a North American tour to promote his new album. How am I going to handle it when we spend more time apart than we do together?
Picking up Jonathan and Gabby’s story, Development is the second installment in the Songs and Sonatas series. If you love coming of age stories about finding yourself and standing for what you want in the face of opposition, don’t miss this hot new take on the rockstar romance genre!

Chapter One
Gabby
“Hey!” I say into my phone. “I didn’t expect to hear from you this early. Not that I’m complaining.” Since Jonathan’s in California and I’ve been in Texas for the last few weeks, we’ve fallen into a routine where he calls me around seven. It’s only five, though. “Couldn’t wait to talk to me, huh?”
“Good,” he answers on a sigh. “You haven’t seen it yet.”
I freeze halfway up the stairs on the way to my bedroom. “Uh, no. I guess not. Why? I’m guessing from your tone that whatever it is isn’t good. What haven’t I seen?”
He lets out another heavy sigh. “It’s stupid. I met my friend Charlie for lunch today, and now it’s making headlines on all the entertainment news sites. They take a billion pictures to make things look like more than what they are.”
My brows furrow together as I take the rest of the stairs two at a time, eager to get to my bedroom and my computer to figure out what the hell he’s talking about. “Who’s Charlie? And why would lunch with him be made into something it’s not? What are they making it look like?”
He chuckles, but it’s the kind of laugh that means whatever this is, isn’t funny. “Charlie’s a girl. You probably know her better as Charlotte James.”
Freezing again, this time with my door halfway closed, I process what he’s saying. “Oh my God, you’re friends with Charlotte James? Why have you not mentioned this before?”
“Because. It’s not something I talk about much.”
“But I’m your girlfriend. Not just some random weirdo.”
Another deep sigh. “I know. It’s not—We’ve known each other since Brash. We both ended up in the same sorts of lineups. She was already working with Disney when we were in talks with them. But Colt’s voice changed, so that didn’t work out.”
Sitting at my computer, I pull up the pages that have been most interested in Jonathan since that video went viral last fall. This is one of our unspoken points of conflict. Jonathan wishes I wouldn’t look at these gossip sites at all. But I can’t help myself. That’s why he’s expected me to have seen whatever he’s talking about already.
“Anyway,” he continues as I switch the phone to my left hand so I can use the mouse, “Charlie and I have stayed friends. We email every so often, and we’ll get together if she’s around when I’m in town. She’s pretty busy, so I haven’t seen her since last summer. We had lunch today, and when I hugged her goodbye, they managed to make it look like we’re kissing.”
