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.

Sneak
Peek
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?
