For One Night Only - by Jessica James (Paperback)

About the Book

"Despite her fame as a former vocalist and current actress, Valerie Quinn's life does not rock. When her musical TV show finds itself on the network chopping block, Valerie hastily reassembles her old band, the Glitter Bats. A reunion concert could be her ticket to success and good press, especially if people were to speculate about her with bassist Caleb Sloane. The only problem-they haven't spoken since the day the band fell apart ten years ago. Caleb had the makings of a rock god, but fallout from the Glitter Bats breakup left him resentful of the anxiety and heartbreak that fame had brought him. But when Valerie shows up at his doorstep after a decade with that devastating smile and a plea for help, he agrees to this wild scheme to pretend they're back together. You know...for the press. When Caleb struggles to pick up his rockstar persona again, Valerie helps him find his rhythm. And when Valerie is pulled off-key by the press, Caleb's presence keeps her in tune. Making music together revives the harmony between them-as well as the discord that led to the band's downfall. With their futures in the balance, can they survive a romantic reprise?"--

Book Synopsis

GLITTER BATS REUNION CONCERT--SOLD OUT!

When two former bandmates--and bedmates--are thrust back into each other's lives in a fake dating scheme for publicity, they'll be forced to face the music.

After her recurring role in tabloid headlines, Valerie Quinn's musical TV show is on the network chopping block. Desperate for good press, she hastily reassembles her wildly beloved pop punk band, Glitter Bats. A reunion concert could be the former lead vocalist's ticket to a media makeover, especially if it renews public speculation around her iconic situationship with bassist Caleb Sloane.

The only problem? They haven't spoken in six years.

Caleb had the makings of a rock god, but fallout from the messy Glitter Bats breakup left him broke, anxious, and resentful of the industry. But when Valerie shows up at Caleb's doorstep with that devastating smile and a plea for help, he reluctantly agrees to put on one last show.

So what if the fandom assumes the two of them are back together too? They'll play along. You know...for the press.

Making music together not only revives the harmony between them, but also the discord that led to the band's downfall. With their futures--and the Glitter Bats--in the balance, can they survive a romantic reprise?
