Publisher's Synopsis
Thirty four year-old Kelly Carrington has always lived her life on the straight and narrow, never allowing anything to turn her head despite her high profile career as a marketing executive with Impact Music, a Manhattan-based record company representing an impressive and immoral catalogue of singers and musicians. But when Kelly suddenly realizes that her life is lacking fulfillment and she's offered the unique opportunity to sing backup with one of Impact's hard rock bands, Checkered Past, who are set to embark on a North American tour, she throws caution to the wind and ditches everything to take a walk on the "Wild Side". Unfortunately, she is naive when it comes to anything but doing her job and raising her family so she's entirely ill prepared when the spotlight is thrust upon her. She falls heavily for the lead singer, a wild man who's seen and done it all, and suddenly she's living the self-indulgent life of a star - complete with sex, drugs, booze, and all the frills and thrills that go along with it. All too soon she's spiraling downward into the abyss of rock and roll, losing herself in her new addictions and the outrageous lifestyle.;And just to complicate matters further, Checkered Past is being stalked by a psychotic fan who is hell-bent on wreaking havoc for the band at every turn. When tragedy strikes back home Kelly comes face to face with the reality of what she's become while on tour and realizes she must make a decision about her life and newfound career. The question is...will she be coherent enough to do so?
