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?

Just as he wishes Janie would close hers, but she doesn’t. “I’m going to ask him myself and if you’re lying to me—”


“I’m not,” Adam assures her. “Why would I lie about something like that? Shit, you think I made that crap up?”


“I think you’re being spiteful,” Janie tells him. “I know you don’t like me the way I liked you, Adam. I’m not an idiot. I know you have a thing for that studio guy and I know he likes you back. But I don’t know why you’re so evil to me. All I’ve ever been is good to you…”
