A black teen tries to make a name for herself in the mostly white world of country music. Ashanté wants to be a star like her idols Mickey Guyton, Vicki Vann and Rissi Palmer. Unfortunately, she gets nervous whenever she has to give a speech in class.
When her college roommates take her to a bar, Ashanté gets drunk for the first time and sings karaoke songs on a dare. Unknown to her, a music exec happens to be there that night. Producer Bryce Walker is white, wealthy and womanizing, and he knows the sound of money when he hears it. Ashanté sounds like ka-ching.
But the music industry's a vicious world, especially for someone as innocent and shy as Ashanté. Bryce has always had a policy of not getting involved with employees, but as he watches the cutthroat business turn his star act into a drug addict, he realizes his feelings go deeper than just professional concern. Can he turn things around and save Ashanté before the industry destroys her?
This is a romance novel; of course he can. ٩(˘◡˘)۶

Chasing You
Some boys want an audience. The right one learns to listen. When Eliana Cassabria-Prescott moves to Seabright Cove, she plans to disappear-just a girl, a guitar, and a bench with a view. Then quarterback Kason Barnes smiles like a promise, and suddenly senior year tastes like kettle corn, bonfires, and firsts you don't admit out loud. College at Ravenwell University should make everything bigger and brighter. Instead it makes the gaps louder: fundraisers, fraternities, "optics," and a best-friend cheer captain (Savannah) who treats history like a claim. One broken promise becomes two, then ten, and Eliana does the unthinkable-she stops translating apologies into love. Enter Hendrix McBride: smoky-voiced composer, two years ahead, boots and bad habits, the kind of steady that makes a room go quiet. He offers time instead of a spotlight, truth instead of performance, and a simple rule for music and everything else-leave air; the right notes will hold. Now Kason is chasing Eliana. Savannah is chasing Kason. And Eliana is done running-for anyone. Between a stadium that wants her on his arm and a practice room that wants her whole, she'll choose the life that hears her.Complete
𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝗠𝗲 𝗔𝘁 𝗠𝗶𝗱𝗻𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁・❥・Maddy Perez & Nate Jacobs, Euphoria
"𝑆𝑜𝑚𝑒 𝑔𝑖𝑟𝑙𝑠 𝑎𝑟𝑒 𝑡𝑎𝑢𝑔ℎ𝑡 𝑙𝑜𝑣𝑒 𝑖𝑠 𝑝𝑎𝑖𝑛. 𝑆ℎ𝑒 ℎ𝑎𝑠 𝑡𝑜 𝑙𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑛 𝑖𝑡 𝑖𝑠𝑛'𝑡." Iris has always known how to survive. At eighteen, she's everything East Highland thinks she is-reckless, untouchable, the girl with a reputation she doesn't bother correcting. She laughs louder, bites back harder, and never lets anyone get close enough to see what's underneath. By day, she's just another senior counting down the days until graduation. By night, she becomes someone else entirely-someone who dances for money, not attention. Someone who does whatever it takes to keep a roof over her head and her little sister safe. No one knows the truth. Except Maddie. Maddie Perez has always been there-closer than anyone, closer than Iris ever lets herself think about. Their friendship has never had boundaries. It's messy, magnetic, and blurs lines Iris refuses to define. Because defining it would mean risking it. And then there's Nate Jacobs-the one habit Iris never managed to break. Toxic, consuming, and impossible to ignore, he knows exactly how to pull her back in. With him, it's chaos. It's fire. It's everything she's learned to mistake for love. Caught between something real and something familiar, Iris is forced to confront the one thing she's spent years avoiding: Maybe love isn't supposed to hurt. Maybe the hardest thing she'll ever have to do... is choose something soft.
