Beyond Dreams

You know that feeling when the famous musician you're totally crushing on shows up at your brother's wedding dressed as Elvis? Really? Huh. Guess it's just me, then . . .

Collin West isn't just hot. And he's not just "the next big thing," either. He's the biggest thing to happen to music since . . . music. He's got heart. And soul. And the most adorable ginger hair that's somehow always a little mussed. Add in his bangin' body and bedroom eyes and it's easy to see why the whole world loves him.

And he wants me. Harlow Hutton. Not-so-secret lover of all things Collin West. Dreamer of big dreams. Thinker of deep thoughts.

He falls into my life like a fairy tale, whisking me away on a champagne and glitter adventure around the world. London. Paris. Rome. It's a dream come true.

But every princess has a villain. When ours raises its ugly head, I roll up my shirtsleeves, kiss my biceps, and put up my dukes. Throw in some demons from Collin's past and our dream might actually be a nightmare.

One thing's for sure, hiding in the swirl of music and passion, is the glimmer of a happily-ever-after bigger than I ever imagined possible.

I only hope we don't get burned in the process . . .
