I know what you're thinking.
“You were such a jerk, Nick!” Believe me, I know I screwed up the best
thing I had going in my life, but that was kind of my thing. I’d learned how to run cons before I could
even form complete sentences, and I'd always been selfish. But I changed. Lila forgave me, my brother
and I were getting along, and I was trying to make a name for myself in the music world.
At least that was what I was trying to do when I negotiated my way into the recording studio with pop
superstar Sadie Sinclair. I thought it would be a piece of cake—charm my way into her heart and into her
Just when I thought I had it all figured out, I got mixed up in a web of lies, manipulation, and deception.
A web that had me questioning my motives and desires altogether.
Was the fame and fortune really worth the price?
~EXCERPT~
“Look, I totally get your reservations about me,” I placated her, even though I knew I was more than
qualified to produce her album. It was cookie cutter pop music. Anyone with half a brain could do it.
“I may not have much experience with actual singers, but I've been mixing music since I was a kid.”
“You're just a deejay, Nick. And no offense, but that is not the same as a music producer.”
“You're right. Spinning records is about playing to a crowd. Finding that perfect rhythm for any
circumstance. Sometimes they want a carefree club mix to dance around to. Other times they want a
slow, sensual song to grind up on someone to. I know how to read people and that's beneficial in both
cases. I'm a people pleaser, but I'm also an artist.”
“Well, for one I can read you. I know that you want people to hear a new side of you. To hear the
grown-up version of Sadie Sinclair.”
“That's not reading me, Nick. I told you that yesterday,” she replied, crossing her arms over her chest.
“Yes, you did,” I conceded with a nod. “But it's not always about what you say. I can tell by the way
you walk—the commanding click of your heels across the floor and the sway of your tight little ass. You
want to sing the kind of music that causes a stir. You're tired of singing songs about people falling in
love and teeny-bopper breakups. You want to sing songs about people making love. About passion and
desire. About longing and fulfillment.” Her eyes glazed over as she stared into mine. Her lips parted as
she let out a slow, steady breath.
I stepped closer to her and reached out, brushing my hand down her arm. “You want to sing songs that
get under people's skin. Leaves them wanting more. You want to seduce them with your sound.”
“I do,” she answered mindlessly, watching my hand stroke up and down her arm.
“You don't want to just sing songs, Sadie Sinclair. You want to sing... sex.”
Her eyes fell shut as she thought about what I was saying. I was going out on a limb with my
assumption. For all I knew, she wanted to sing gospel hymns to a reggae beat. Lucky for me, the way
she looked at me—like she wanted to eat me alive—was a proper assessment of exactly the kind of
person she was. She finally opened her eyes and when she did, I knew I had her on the hook.
“Okay then, let's hear it,” she insisted, pointing at the computer I was holding in my hand. “I want to
“Oh, I assure you that I'm more than just good.” She was trying to play hardball, but if she thought for
one second I didn't see the glimmer of lust in her eyes, she was crazy. “Take a seat, Miss Sinclair.” I
pulled back one of the chairs for her. She hesitated, like she didn't want to seem too anxious to comply.
I fired up my computer and pulled up a folder of tracks I'd been working on. Careful not to mess up her
hair, I slipped a pair of headphones over her ears.
She started to protest. “What are you doing? We can listen to it—”
“In order to get the full Nick Kline experience, I need to get completely”—I paused leaning in inches
from her face—“and totally in your head.” She breathed me in and relaxed into her chair. I was one
song away from convincing Sadie Sinclair that I was the perfect choice for her. Musically and more.
