Smolder

Skylar Ashe, a mild-mannered band teacher, hates the spotlight. His father is the drummer and lead singer for From the Ashes, a hard-partying eighties hair band on the brink of a comeback—until Skyler’s father has a cardiac event during a scandalous liaison.

The band has been invited to play Rocktoberfest, but without their leader behind the drum kit, their comeback may be lost before it gets off the ground. Skyler’s mom guilts him into taking the sticks until the elder Ashe is up to performing again, though Skyer would rather face a dentist’s drill without Novocain.

Sanders “Sandy” Kensington, former defensive tackle for the Chicago Breeze, doesn’t have much going on since being pressured to retire from football. His little brother is the manager of a washed-up eighties hair band, and when one of their gold records is used in an action-movie blockbuster, Sandy’s goaded into helping his brother keep the band members out of trouble.

Enter a stalker driven to keep From the Ashes off the stage. It seems Skyler is the target, and Sandy vows to protect him while struggling with his attraction to the young drummer.

Will Skyler’s kindness and innocence hurt the band’s rock star image, or will Sandy introduce Skyler to the ways of the world? Will the looks that Smolder between them go unnoticed, or will they become the stars of the show?
