Hope and faith that maybe this time, they just might pull it off.
They both sang the chorus into the microphone before Simon twisted away and back to the front of the stage. He made himself look at the front row of people.
They were his people.
This was his time. The band’s time.
He spun across the stage, jumped on the raised drum kit with Jazz and slapped her high hats then down to Gray for a turn through the guitar solo. He bounced with Deacon in his metronome manner and then finally, finally to his Violin Girl with her witchy woman black skintight outfit.
Back to back they played—his voice to her bow.
And as the ending came, he shuddered and stumbled for a moment.
Nick came up from the back of the stage and stood with him and he dropped to his knees as the final note rang into the blue, blue sky.
The perfect note.
The perfect song.
The perfect day.

FOUND IN OBLIVION #1
What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas...
until someone ends up married.
Michael Shawcross is living the dream, opening up for his idols, Oblivion, on his band Warning Sign’s first tour. Until an overzealous fan goes too far and his hard-partying ways catch up to him in the form of an ultimatum from his manager, Lila Crandall.
Clean up your image—or else.
Single mom Chloe Adams is in Vegas for a rare girls’ night out. She wasn’t ever supposed to be attracted to another rockstar. In fact, she’s in rockstar rehab, and the cure for her addiction definitely isn't a sexy, smart-assed guitarist with wicked fingers.
She never expects to accidentally end up his wife. Or to have her new husband suddenly decide that she’s the solution to all his problems. And surprise…he’s happy to show his appreciation in a number of interesting, inventive ways.
Pretending their marriage is real might just be the hottest proposition she’s ever been given.
But what happens when a lie becomes the truth?

About the Authors
USA Today bestselling author Cari Quinn likes music and men, so she figured why not write about both? When she’s not writing, she's screaming at men’s college basketball games on TV, playing her music too loud or causing trouble. Sometimes simultaneously.
USA Today bestselling author Taryn Elliott is obsessed with rock stars, men, and her unending playlists—maximizing these things seemed like a very good idea. When she’s not writing, she’s losing hours to hot men on TV, and/or a graphic design project. Multitasking is her middle name.
They decided to combine forces and found that hey...this writing deal is even more awesome when you collaborate with your best friend.

Happy Ending
Endings are only beginnings…
Lost in Oblivion has been one of those things that you can only laughingly call a labor of love. Truly, the series has hit obsession levels for us. It was really hard to say goodbye to these guys and girls.
So much so that we started another series with characters that have been introduced in each of the books. We’re not going to lie—part of that was so we can still play with the peeps of Oblivion. But also it gives the world we created a lot more sandboxes for us to play in.
We wanted to thank you so much for coming on this ride with us. We know there were missteps, but in the end…things are right where they need to be. Happily ever after with a side of rockstar insanity.
There’s so much more to come!
If you’d like to check out the music we listened to while writing this book you can check out our SPOTIFY playlist.
ROCK ON!
XOXO,
Taryn & Cari
