Iggy
The problem with pop stars is...we have a short shelf life.
Since I started in the business a decade ago--as a dewy-eyed pre-teen--a clock has been ticking over my head, counting down the minutes until I faded into obscurity. I thought getting the guidance of Raymond Montaine, hit-maker extraordinaire, would catapult my career into the stratosphere. Instead, he scammed me out of money before moving on to his next target.
I want payback for all he cost me, and there's only one person who can help. The only other artist I know who hates Raymond as much as I do.
Mathis Reisner.
Sexy as sin, and a brilliant composer, Mathis could be so much more than he believes himself capable of. While my first goal is ruining Raymond, getting Mathis in front of the audience he deserves is quickly gaining ground.

The problem with pop stars is... we're disposable.
I burned bright for a year before the industry threw me out like old trash. Now, I'm a washed-up, former star who can only get work playing piano at a San Francisco tourist trap. I'm scraping to get by, and have Raymond Montaine to blame. He burned all my bridges before casting me aside.
When Iggy finds me at Melody's Piano Bar and asks for help exposing Raymond for what he is, I tell him where to stuff it. It doesn't take long before I reconsider.
Why not? I have nothing else to lose.
Smart, funny, and adorable to boot, Iggy fits into my life in ways I never dreamed. With him by my side, we're heading to the Bremen Town Music Festival to expose Raymond to the world. I can't help but hope that along the way Iggy realizes we can make our own beautiful music together.
