Behind the Mask

When foul-mouthed Arliss meets the earthy-crunchy bassist for the comeback band, Blue Silver, more than sparks fly.

Arliss Pacifica Edgeworth, poor little rich girl, made friends in high school by pretending to be somebody she wasn't—a huge fan of the pop band Blue Silver. After she attempts to use her Daddy's money to treat her friends to a once in a lifetime Blue Silver concert and the limo breaks down en route, she and her friends drift apart.

Flash forward a couple decades and Arliss gets a call about a second chance at the concert of a lifetime on the Blue Silver reunion tour. A very special concert, where the former "Silverettes" can attend an after-party with the band members themselves. Should Arliss risk showing her friends…and any sexy band members who happen to be entranced by her foul mouth, bad attitude, and big ass…what's really behind her mask?

28000 words. Rated R for adult language, adult situations, rageful ranting from a dubiously likeable heroine, and drunkenness.

Author’s First Note: This story is part of a really rockin’ continuity series undertaken with authors Megan Hart and Natalie Damschroder. Hart’s story, NOTHING LIKE THE SUN, describes the concert weekend from the viewpoint of Georgie, and Damschroder’s two stories about the indomitable Cassie are LOST OUR FOREVER and REBUILDING FOREVER.
