She's avoided Sam and her ex-boyfriend, his twin brother, Seth ever since, focusing on getting her college education. It has been three years since Payton's crash and burn night. When one impulsive choice wrecks your reputation and your self-image, when an angry ex-boyfriend uses every possible venue to smear you and is believed by almost everyone, it's pretty hard to bounce back. This book is intended for mature teen audiences due to strong language and some sexual content. When the tour kicks into high gear, the real truth about their shared past comes to light, and Peyton is rocked by forces as passionate and chaotic as the music she loves. Yet being forced to look at Sam in a new way brings Peyton a different perspective on the past-and his magnetic baby-blues and rippling muscles are hard to ignore.

This is more than fine with Peyton-after all, it'll only help reassure her picture-perfect boyfriend back on campus that following the band is all totally professional. Neither wants to deal with old pain and misunderstanding, and they agree to keep the past in the past. She and Sam have a history, one that has made them enemies. Then Peyton, a budding music journalist, joins the tour, tasked with chronicling the band's every move. But for Sam, the band's dazzling but troubled bassist, making sure his past stays locked away feels more important than winning the spotlight.

When they get an offer to join a national tour, the musicians of Luminescent Juliet finally find their ticket to fame.
