Black Light

by Martha J. Allard

Los Angeles, 1983.

Trace Dellon knows exactly what he wants: the white heat of the spotlight. When his band Black Light is offered a record deal, Trace grabs for it. He will do anything to make it.

Bass player Asia Heyes knows what he wants, too. It's not fame or the adoration of groupies. It's Trace. It's always been Trace. Though it's been unspoken between them, Trace's other lovers -- his audience -- push Asia aside.

With the record contract, Albrecht Christian comes into their lives. He has everything but what he needs to live: the energy that runs just under Trace's skin.

When everything crashes with a bullet, they all learn the truth. Rock and roll, like magic, requires both love and sacrifice.
