Lightning in a Bottle

By K.L. Noone

Adam Johnson’s the heart, soul, and songwriter behind his band’s greatest hits ... if the term can be applied when they aren’t even famous yet. He’s never been a good front man or stage presence, though; he leaves that to Lee, who sings Adam’s words as if they’re poetry.

The problem is, they are. Every word Adam’s written is a love letter for his lead singer, though he’s never had the courage to say so.

But when a famous -- or infamous -- legendary rock star and scandalous sex demon drop by one of their shows, Adam’s forced to confront the possibility he just might get everything he wants -- the record deal and Lee’s heart -- if he can only find the words to ask.

By K.L. Noone

Guys! In the audience! Tonight! Guess who!

The other four members of the New Regency, sprawled out in the back room in various stages of post-show exhaustion and exhilaration, mutually searched for objects to throw at their pint-sized drummer. Lee managed to summon up enough energy to telekinetically fling a pillow. Everyone else groaned.

Zak took this as a challenge to half-pixie enthusiasm. You’re not gonna believe it! Guess!
