About TAKING SOMETHING

I know what you're thinking. “You were such a jerk, Nick!” Believe me, I know I screwed up the best thing I had going in my life, but that was kind of my thing. I’d learned how to run cons before I could even form complete sentences, and I'd always been selfish. But I changed. Lila forgave me, my brother and I were getting along, and I was trying to make a name for myself in the music world.

At least that was what I was trying to do when I negotiated my way into the recording studio with pop superstar Sadie Sinclair. I thought it would be a piece of cake—charm my way into her heart and into her record label's good graces.

Just when I thought I had it all figured out, I got mixed up in a web of lies, manipulation, and deception. A web that had me questioning my motives and desires altogether. 

Was the fame and fortune really worth the price?

Excerpt

“I'll see ya. Oh, and Gia,” I said before I closed her car door. “I never did officially thank you for your help in the studio the other day. Well, not without pissing you off on the dance floor.” I paused to wink at her.
“You've got a good ear.  Your suggestions really did help Sadie's song,” I said, using the term loosely. “We make a pretty good team.”
“We kind of do,” she agreed with a grin as I shut the door.
I gave her a wave and ducked into the studio, disappointed.  Maybe after a few more friendly outings she would trust me.  I knew I could convince her to, but the thing was that, for the first time in my entire life, I wanted to earn someone's trust.  Hers.
And I had a problem. I knew myself well enough to know when a con was going sideways. My need to convince Gia I was a decent guy and earn her trust wasn’t about Sadie anymore. Not even a little bit.
It was about the little voice that sounded a hell of a lot like Lila in my head. The same one that pushed me to move from swindling money to earning it.
Fuck. I was developing a damn conscious.
How in the hell did that happen?
I had a sick feeling that I knew exactly how. It was nearly impossible to spend time with someone so completely humble and selfless and amazing without questioning what the hell I was doing with my life—and realizing that there were countless reasons that I deserved a self-centered diva like Sadie instead of a grown-ass woman with a gorgeously unforgettable and well-adjusted head on her shoulders.
I got back in the studio and threw myself into the work, refusing like hell to think about the beautifully breathtaking enigma that was Gia Grayson.  It was all I could do not to beat my head against the mixing board.


Elizabeth Lee Bio

When I'm not writing or playing the part of wife and mother, you can find me dancing back-up for Beyonce, singing back-up for Miranda, or sunning myself on the beach with a drink in hand. Here's the thing about being born and raised in a small town—you have a very vivid imagination! Now, I channel it all to create stories where the girl always ends up with the right guy, first kisses are magical, and a happy ending is just that!
