Near Miss

Sarah Lawrence and Ryan Crawford are two musicians with a complicated relationship history, to say the least. They are former best friends who always wanted to be more. Three years ago, Ryan left for LA to chase his musical dreams while Sarah stayed home. She had good reasons, but put the possibility of a romantic relationship on the shelf. Fast forward—his band’s star is rising, and Ryan’s becoming a famous rock star, while Sarah’s still sacrificing everything for her loved ones. Now Ryan’s back in town with his band to record a new album, but they need Sarah’s help.

Samantha Fisher never thought filming a music documentary of the up-and-coming rock band, Indigo King, would turn into a personal nightmare. But Matt Sturridge, the hot and mysterious drummer, seems to have made driving Samantha crazy his sole mission in life.

Jude Lockwood, the hot and nerdy bassist for Indigo King, is a self-proclaimed player. Always has been, always will be. That is until he volunteers to help his best friend, Ren, with her baby daughter, Charlotte. Jude doesn’t do feelings. Or relationships. And he certainly doesn’t do parenthood. But little Charlotte (a.k.a. “Charlie”) didn’t get that memo, and she’s got him wrapped around her pudgy little finger. Add the growing attraction happening between him and Ren, and all the lines he’s drawn around himself are blurring.

In Almost: Near Miss Book #1, meet Ryan Crawford, Indigo King’s handsome lead singer and guitarist. He’s the group’s diplomat, always looking out for everyone else. Sarah Lawrence, his former best friend and writing partner, might just give him the second chance he’s always wanted with her.
