Even when the lights go out and a thousand miles separate them, Stevie and Brendon always find a way back to each other. ☆ companion novel to FLY WITH ME by @thaliagrace- ☆ ***** When Stevie and her band MARS catch a break early on and sign with a big record label, they relocate to Los Angeles from their home in Hawai'i and become next door neighbors to Formula 1 boy wonder, Brendon Ellis. Since skyrocketing to the tops of the charts after the release of their critically-acclaimed debut album, there's a lot of pressure to prove their worth with their sophomore effort, on top of keeping everyone in the band on the right track. And though Stevie, a woman set on committing her efforts to her burgeoning career, has had no plans on jumping into any sort of relationship, her growing friendship with Brendon Ellis derails that idea. As two highly-regarded figures in their respective fields, juggling their careers and feelings for each other requires effort. Stevie and Brendon must decide if they're willing to drive a thousand miles until their tyres wear out -- 'cause it's lights out and away they run. » featured on @FreeTheLGBT, @lgbtq, @StoriesUndiscovered, @Music, @ChickLit, and @Ambassadors « All rights reserved © Stephanie Midorii, smidorii

After breaking up with her long-term girlfriend and watching her parents divorce over the summer, all her passion disappeared, including her passion for science that got her into her microbiology Ph.D. program. When a new roommate moves into the apartment, Yeju recognizes her as more than just a familiar face; she is an enemy that needs to be chased out of her life. Lia Choi does not need love. Her parent never gave her any, and confessing to her childhood best friend over the summer only caused a fall out.

But when an old nemesis enrolls in their high school with a new identity and a hidden plan, they can't help but be vigilant and watch Sheldon Phan's every move. Sheldon wants Haresa to leave him the hell alone. Sure, when he went by the stage name Shelly, he made a bad impression by terrorizing the city as a kid but all he wants to do is get his degree and spend the rest of his free time with his boyfriend. If he had to steal and cheat people in the process, then it was the world's fault for being so unfair. Lurking in the background of Haresa and Sheldon's bickering and fighting, a greater threat is approaching.
