The Painted Daisies

Nineteen-year-old never-been-kissed keyboardist Paisley Kim has gotten good at hiding things, including the panic attacks she experiences before she steps on stage with her high-profile band, The Painted Daisies. To her bandmates, she’s still the baby, the one who needs protecting. But to troubled bad boy Jonas Riccoli, she’s the hope for a future he never thought possible, and he’s much more than a boy she befriends at the studio. But their long-awaited reunion and the ensuing sparks are destroyed when Paisley’s sister is found murdered.

The only family the Painted Daisies singer and harpist Fiadh Kane has left in this world is her band. When their leader―her best friend who stood by her through the worst―is killed, she's determined to find who did it and make him pay. Fiadh is convinced the band's new label owner knows more about the murder than he's shared. She plans to reveal Asher's skeletons by any means possible, even if it means using the magnetic lure blooming between them in ways she never expected.

As the Vice President's daughter and his current assignment, Leya Singh is completely off-limits to Special Agent Holden Kent. He refuses to let his desire for the Painted Daisies singer and sitar player cost him the future he's worked his entire life to achieve. Not when his goal of working on the Presidential detail is finally within his grasp.

Once upon a time, Adria Rojas had it all―a budding romance, her music, and a whole family. Then, in one year, her bandmate was murdered, her sister vanished, and the man she trusted humiliated her beyond forgiveness. Now, the only way she keeps her head above water is by losing herself in her drums. One stupid mistake led to the nightmare Ronan Hawk has spent years trying to rectify. Just when he's given up on ever making things right with Adria, evidence of her sister's kidnapping falls in his lap, bringing him back into her life.

Singer and lead guitarist Nikki Rani will do whatever it takes to keep her mom and her band safe, even if it means keeping secrets about her friend's murder. She failed her loved ones once and won't be taken in again by a ridiculous story. There are no fairy tales in her future—especially not with a broody stranger who's more likely to offer heartache and pain than redemption.
