Band on the Run

The year is 1968, and Phoenix Rising is on the brink of becoming bigger than the Beatles—but can lead singer Ravynn St. John survive their world tour without exposing his secret love for the band’s rhythm guitarist, or will the truth tear apart their shot at stardom?

I’m the twenty-year-old lead singer of the hottest band on the planet, leading the charge on our first world tour as we chase the dream of becoming bigger than the Beatles and recording at Abbey Road Studios. You’d think I’d be on top of the world, living the dream, but my life is a carefully constructed lie.

Behind the fame, the sold-out shows, and the adoring fans, I’m hiding who I really am. The truth? I’m homosexual—and my family disowned me when I admitted it. The only family I have now is my band and our management team—they’re the ones who know the real me.

As our tour kicks off, I’m determined to keep my secrets buried. I refuse to be another nobody from Atlanta, Georgia, and I won’t let anything—or anyone—stand in the way. But when my guitarist, Benji, pushes for us to be more than bandmates, and my ex’s friend—a reporter—shows up to dig into my past, everything begins to unravel.

Will I be able to keep my secrets hidden and secure my shot at musical greatness, or will everything I’ve worked for come crashing down?
