Going Solo

Fame is fleeting. Love is forever.

Millions watched as Toby Lyngstad got rejected by his teenage crush on British TV's most popular talent show, 'Make Me a Pop Star'.

While Toby's heartbreak became a viral internet sensation that haunted him for years, his crush, Cole Kennedy, skyrocketed to global superstardom as part of the show's most successful boy band, The Go Tos.

A decade later, Toby is the host of radio's 'Pop Review', and he's finally put Cole Kennedy behind him. Or so he thought. When Cole shocks the music world by leaving The Go Tos and going solo, Toby's boss sees a promotional opportunity too good to miss-and signs a million-pound deal to send 'Pop Review' along on Cole's first solo tour.

Now, trapped in a travelling studio with the man who once broke his heart, Toby must confront his worst nightmare: Despite Cole ruining his life, the chemistry between them burns hotter than ever.

With millions watching their every interaction, can Toby and Cole overcome a decade of hurt to write their happily ever after? Or will their second chance at love become another viral humiliation?

Going Solo is the second book in The Brent Boys series, which started with The Paper Boys. It's perfect for fans of Red, White and Royal Blue and Boyfriend Material.

"What a joyful book this is. As sexy as it is soul-filling. A hilarious love letter to first love and all its awe and heartache. And a reminder to sing your own song!"
