Book Description:
Welcome to Cyrene, a city where energy is currency and music is the
lifeblood of its young citizens. Everyone lives on the grid, and the
residents of the world’s largest playground are encouraged to pursue
every physical and emotional pleasure imaginable.
Vee is the lead singer of the Sugar Skulls, an all-girl band that is
Corporate’s newest pet project. Micah haunts the city like a ghost after
an overdose of a deadly illegal street drug knocks him off the grid.
When Micah and Vee forge an immediate, undeniable connection, their
troubled worlds collide.
Trading concert stages for Cyrene’s rooftops and back alleys, they
have to evade vicious thugs and Vee’s possessive manager as they unravel
the mysteries connected to their dark pasts. And before the curtain
falls, Micah and Vee will bring the city to its knees in their desperate
bid for love, home, and a future together.

Excerpt
If strings ran up my spine, she just plucked the high E, a fierce vibration that shakes me to my core.
She looks away, and quakes subside into mere tremors. Propping myself up against the bar, I abandon my drink to process the last few seconds.
All these months, there’s been nothing. But just now? I felt it. I feel it. I pulse with life, lightning dancing across my skin as she batters the crowd with furious verses.
But I’m stuck on that first gasp.
One note. One word. She laid me low and resurrected me in one fell swoop.
Who is this girl?
