Midsummer Song: Midsummer's Night, #5

About this ebook
All Daniel's ever wanted is to sing. Being a siren has always made that a dangerous undertaking, but he's never needed magic to make people like his songs. His bandmates, however, are more than willing to use his siren talents to get what they want—even if they do it against Daniel's will.
Betrayed and distraught, Daniel flees in the dead of night, bound for anywhere that will keep him out of sight until his contract with the band expires. Exhausted after hours of driving, he decides to stop for the night, and winds up stopping in a strange town known as Midsummer's Night.
He's soon pointed to a bed & breakfast run by the world's most adorable brownie—who also happens to be a huge fan, reminding Daniel viscerally that whatever Daniel wants comes second to what he is and all the people trying to hunt him down.

MIDSUMMER SONG
MEGAN DERR
Daniel pulled up into the gas station and cracked a yawn so hard his eyes watered. Bed. All he wanted was a bed. Groaning, he turned the car off and climbed out. He snorted in amusement when he saw the sign that said the gas pump didn't take plastic and dragged himself into the little shop. An old man sat at the counter reading a newspaper, and Daniel wanted to laugh that the big headline was LOCAL BAKER WINS COUNTY PIE CONTEST.
Hey, pops. How's it going?
He laid a twenty on the counter. This little town got a place a guy can crash for the night?
The old man gave him a critical once over, clearly not approving of anything he saw. Daniel couldn't blame him. He remembered what it was like when flashy city kids rolled into a small town and acted like they should all be grateful that someone civilized had arrived. Though he was nowhere near the glam he would have sported for the stage, he still screamed outsider and city folk.
But in the end the old man only grunted. Down Main Street, little ways past the police station. Big green house, sign says Midsummer B&B. Joel should have a room for you. See you don't cause no trouble.
Never been a fan of trouble, pops. Thanks.
Going back outside, he filled his car with twenty bucks of gas and then drove off.
Jeez, it was like being home and yet not. Whatever town he was in, it was way prettier than the tired and battered town he'd grown up in. The whole place looked like someone had enough magic to bring postcards to life.
It didn't take him long to find Main Street, and then the promised B&B. By that point, it had become pretty obvious the town was called Midsummer's Night, though he bet everyone just called it Midsummer.
He parked in the lot of the B&B, grabbed his duffle bag out of the back seat, and yawned as he walked up the path and into the quaint little house. A bell dinged softly as he opened the door, and the smell of warm chocolate made his stomach growl. He should have grabbed a snack at the gas station. Ah, well. There might still be some crackers in the car. He didn't think he'd eaten them all. Had he?
All thoughts of food fled his mind as the cutest damn thing to exist ever appeared from the back. If the guy was over five feet, he'd be impressed. He was what Daniel's band mate Bick would describe as 'pudgy' and Daniel described as 'yes, please.' He had messy brown hair and sleepy brown eyes behind a pair of chunky glasses and a smudge on his nose that Daniel wanted to kiss.
The looks alone were enough to peg it, but the whiff of magic that came with him, coupled with the tidiness of the place and the overall happy vibe, screamed brownie. Man, when was the last time he'd encountered a brownie? Daniel wanted to eat him up, and was sorely tempted to make a play.
Before he could speak, the brownie's gaze landed on him and he froze, jaw dropping in shock. His eyes widened with shock. You're—
Aww, damn. A fan. Daniel did not approve of sleeping with fans; it felt like he was taking advantage of something. Ah, well. Probably for the best. Daniel,
he said. Daniel Whitmore. I was hoping to rent a room for the night?
Maybe a little longer than that, hell. Midsummer sounded more appealing than anything else he'd half-heartedly planned.
Oh, sure. Yeah.
He bustled around the counter for a moment, shooting Daniel shy, curious, barely-contained-eagerness looks, and finally came up with a ledger that looked like it had been made back in the 1800s or something. Name, plate number, dates you're staying. Umm ... any preference on your room?
As long as it's got a bed, I'm pretty happy,
Daniel said, taking
