Adam Blue is destined to be a rockstar. As lead singer of Viral Blue, he knows it's just a matter of time before he's on his way to fame and fortune. If he can just get a studio to sign his band and get his songs on the radio, he knows he'll make it big. When they land a spot onstage at a popular nightclub downtown, Adam hopes to get noticed. But he doesn't expect to meet sexy Paulo Raucci, owner of Raucci Entertainment, a local studio looking for fresh talent. Paul likes Adam's sound and, more importantly, likes Adam, as well. But when Paul brings the band into the studio, his partner Lewis isn't quite as taken with Adam's rockstar attitude. Lewis doesn't want to sign the band until Adam proves he's willing to work. Unfortunately, the band takes second priority to Adam's growing interest Paul ... an interest that has nothing to do with his musical career. The stress of recording their first studio album threatens to tear the band apart, and Adam's ego further drives a wedge between the members of Viral Blue. Paul does his best to keep the band together, but ultimately it's Adam's call. Adam wants it all -- his band, his first record, and his new lover. Now that his dreams are finally within reach, what does he have to do to make them come true?

And he plans to start tonight, after their session’s over.


“Well?” Adam asks when Paul comes back into the recording booth. He glances at the window where Lewis sits in front of the control panel, already fooling with the tracks, and then turns his back to the glass, as if Lewis won’t be able to hear him if he can’t see his lips move.


Mike whoops and Trace beats out a quick drum roll, ending with a flourish of cymbals. Adam grins at them, and when he turns toward Paul he ducks his head in a suddenly shy gesture that wrings at Paul’s heart. Damn,Paul thinks. This next week will be fun.
