Lyric Meadows is used to being overlooked.
Lovingly called Peanut for as long as she can remember, she uses ceramics to escape the high expectations of her parents. It also keeps her from having to tell them that shes asexual, thereby disappointing them twice because she has no intention to work in music like they want or give them grandchildren. Its not easy to conceal a part of who she is, but shell do it if it means maintaining some privacy.
Luca Sherwood is used to having his privacy invaded.
As the son of controversial politician Richard (Dick) Sherwood, the paparazzi is always up in his business, just waiting for a scandal to blast all over the social media. Unfortunately, Lucas brother Rider does have something to hide, and it is something that could destroy their fathers career if the public ever learned of it.
Lyric and Luca are an unlikely duo with far more in common than they think.
One day, all of Lyrics work at the studio is shattered by an apparent vandal. Devastated, she begins to wonder if her parents were right all along and she should just settle for singing. That is, until Luca volunteers to help her figure out the vandals identity. Her resulting romantic & sexual attraction to him is startling, but shes going to need all the help she can get once she learns that the person who destroyed her artwork may be closer than she thinks.

EXCERPT:
Shut up. Its not like that. Ive told you before, Ry, Im asexual.”
And that means what, exactly?” Lyric huffed. Im just trying to understand,” he added placatingly yet somehow managing to mock her at the same time. Why is it my job to explain this crap to him? she thought resentfully.
You know, theres this wonderful invention out there. Its called Google.”
Fine, if you dont want to tell me—”
Youre insufferable, you know that?” She cut him off, and he just grinned. It means that I dont feel sexual attraction toward anyone. Im not even a little bit interested in it.”
Not even a little bit interested, hmm? Then what about your high school boyfriend . . . what was his name . . . ?” Lyric stiffened against her will. I dont want to think about him. I dont want to think about him. I dont— Rhythm snapped his fingers. I remember! Shawn!” Oblivious to Lyrics internal mantra, he added, He was such a little douche. Im glad you guys broke up. He didnt deserve you.”
You dont know the half of it. Anyway, being ace doesnt mean I never ever feel sexual attraction. It just doesnt happen as often for me as it does for others,”
Author Bio:
Fanfiction was where it all began. It gave me the opportunity to stretch my creative muscles and work out crucial lessons in the craft. I spent several years writing for free, which helped me understand the realities of the writing world early on.
Once I got to college, I did the one thing that most advisors tell you not to do: I majored in what I was passionate about, not what would be most practical.
After graduating from college with a degree in Professional Writing, I took a year off and then enrolled in a double Master's program. In the 3 years that followed, I dedicated myself to learning as much as I could about all areas of writing and publishing.
Nowadays, I'm a medical receptionist, soon-to-be self-published author, Medium blogger, writing coach, and podcast host. I live and work in Philadelphia, PA, USA.Website / Goodreads / Facebook / Instagram / Newsletter / TikTok
