Blissful Tragedy:
Sometimes love is more than tragedy or bliss.
Ambitious 22-year-old
Lexie Waters is intent on taking the advertising world by storm. When she’s offered the soon to be open
position she’s been vying for at a swanky advertising agency, there’s only one
last summer separating her from dreams of corporate success. Still bitter from catching her boyfriend
cheating, she heads out for a night of fun to see her favorite band, Devil’s
Garden, but fun turns into utter embarrassment when she insults the enticingly
confident lead singer, Van Sinclair. Van
is intrigued by Lexie’s ability to resist his charm and secretly obtains her
cell number. Shocked but eager to get to
know this captivating rocker, Lexie accepts Van’s invitation to see his next show,
which requires an overnight stay. The
overwhelming feelings that follow take them both by surprise, and with two
months left before starting her sought after new position, Lexie joins the
tour. As she’s catapulted into the world of groupies and wild parties, she
questions Van’s commitment to her. So what happens at summer’s end when time
runs out?

Excerpt of Blissful
Tragedy:
CHAPTER 1—THE CONCERT
An eerie silence takes over the dark night sky.
I stare straight ahead and breathe slowly, trying to ignore the pounding of my
heart. The crisp, cool, spring air caresses my body and heightens my senses. I
shiver slightly. The bone-rattling drum beat pulsates through my chest. I jump
up from my seat as the guitar screams its heavy ear-splitting shriek, like a
choir of electric angels. A frenzy of loud cheers emerges, piercing through the
calmness as hundreds of fans leap to their feet. The bright lights focus on
center stage. I take a deep breath and stare at the silhouette slowly being
illuminated.
Van Sinclair stands so close that if I lunged
forward, I’d crash into six feet of pure muscle. My eyes fixate on his
light-brown, shoulder length, perfectly messy hair that frames his chiseled
face. Then, they travel down to the tight black T-shirt that clings to every
sculpted muscle of his torso, flaunting them in just the right way. My lips
part and chills flood my body causing the hair on the back of my neck to stand
on end. I hold in a deep breath and slowly exhale as he grips the microphone
stand, pulling it close to his body. He closes his eyes and begins to belt out
the lyrics. His raw powerful tones, both decades old and brand new at the same
time, resonate through the night sky. Hot lights shining down on the stage
highlight a bead of sweat that runs down his arm, over the impeccably detailed
dragon tattooed on his left bicep. He lifts his head and looks into the crowd.
My heart races as I stare into his exquisite emerald green eyes, mesmerized.
“Oh my God, he’s so hot!” Brooke yells into my
ear, breaking my trance. “His picture doesn’t do him justice.”
“You can say that again,” Sydney agrees.
Breathless, all I can do is nod.
Devil’s Garden is promoting their best album
yet. Even though the two-thousand-seat amphitheater is not the largest of
venues, it’s sold out tonight. A wall of bodies closes in, pushing us toward
the stage. The hard wood against my palms keeps the crowd at bay. Can it keep me from being crushed for the
whole two hour set? My skin glistens as the three of us sway, moving to the
music. Wait, is Van Sinclair watching me?
Yeah right, like that would happen.
