TITLE: Fighting Chance
AUTHOR: Anni Lee
SERIES: Fighting Chance
PUBLISHER: NineStar Press
LENGTH: 50,400 words
RELEASE DATE: July 19, 2021
BLURB:
How can you write a love song before you’ve felt one?
Roland Finley is convinced he has what it takes to win the Battle of the Bands, a reality TV show where up and coming musicians compete for a record deal. But between college, work, and band practice, he hasn’t had time to experience any of the romance he sings about, and his amateur writing needs a lot of work. This is never more apparent than when a stranger in the park stumbles upon his notebook and tells it exactly like it is.
Jay McClintock wanted nothing to do with this silly reality show, but as the head writer for ALIVE Records, his boss had other plans. After being tasked with writing and coaching one of Roland’s biggest rivals behind the scenes, the only thing keeping him sane is teasing the strange (and low-key talented) young writer he encountered in the park.
Writing for the enemy should have been no big deal, but the more Jay accidentally (and not-so-accidentally) runs into Roland, the harder it is for him to come clean about his involvement with the show. Fortunately, there’s one medium through which they both know how to communicate: Song.

Princess Magda, an estranged childhood friend, tests Sorin’s patience—and boundaries. But it’s not just a princess that stands between Sorin and their goals.

Now, she’s getting better and, with a bit of a push from her, I want to get out more. Maybe that’s why when I met the hot celebrity DJ at Club Nocturne, I was instantly drawn to him. Of course, it could have been the Virgin Special cocktail I’d been given…or maybe those baby-blue eyes and blond hair. Whatever, Devon is more than just some DJ, someone to have fun with up in the DJ booth. Instead, he gets my lifestyle, gets my passion, gets me. He was special from the beginning, and he’s quickly becoming so much more. But when Mom no longer needs me, I’ll go back to traveling…so there’s really no future for us.
Devon: I needed to get away from the life of monotony, the dullness, the day in day out sameness. Damnit, I’d lost my passion for music, for creation, and it was killing me. I thought going back to Greenford to DJ at Club Nocturne again might bring it back. However, I wasn’t ready for what and who the club had in store for me. Liam was meant to be a short-lived fling, like all the others—I’ve never trusted relationships—but those silver eyes got under my skin. I’m quickly finding he’s more than just a friend with benefits, and I don’t know what that means. When my sabbatical is over, our lives will be worlds apart…meaning there’s no future for us.
Despite their first intentions, can two lonely, dissatisfied men fill the void in each other’s lives? Can their searing lust rekindle the spark that’s been missing? Or will they just drift back to their previous lives?

Cairo Malachi, Conduit to the Spirits, is a liar, a thief, and a fraud. He may be building a reputation as one of the most fashionable mediums in London, but he doesn’t even believe in ghosts and has certainly never conjured one. Which is why, after he witnesses the brutal slaying of a handsome young constable, he’s shocked when the man’s spirit appears in his home, begging for his help.
Constable Noah Bell is everything Mal can never be—honest, funny, and kind. But it’s ridiculous to be attracted to a man he can’t even touch, especially when every step they take towards solving Noah’s murder is one step closer to bringing him the justice he needs to move on—and out of Mal’s life forever.
As their investigation brings unexpected enemies to light, the secrets they’re keeping from each other may prove even more dangerous. Mal and Noah will have to work together… or risk a fate worse than death.
