California Rock Stars

Rockstar Elijah Wilder is famous.

Married.

And a father.

Ready to turn his back on the one thing he’s good at, the talent that made him a household name.

I’m a poor nobody.

Struggling to stay in school.

Failing miserably.

Believing I’m wearing the emperor’s new clothing and not fooling anybody.

Elijah and I don’t belong together. We shouldn’t have even met. But when his wife enters rehab, he needs a nanny.

I can't bring myself to say no.

Familiarity breeds lust, and, when his wife becomes his ex, Elijah and I wind up together. But we're a bad combination. I'm too young for him and I don't know what I want. And the longer I stay in the rockstar life...

I'm pretty sure that's not it.

But Elijah and I try anyway, even with all the odds against us.
