Blue Notes, Bold Lies & Backstage Kisses: A Romantic Comedy

Dom D’Angelo is the band’s loudmouth bassist—the one with the jokes, the swagger, and the ability to derail any serious moment in under ten seconds.

What the world doesn’t know? Dom is brilliant. Classically trained. Jazz obsessed. And terrified that if anyone expects too much of him, he’ll fail.

Micah Sterling is the label’s polished fixer: smooth suits, sharp instincts, and a talent for turning messy problems into neat narratives. He’s been sent to Dalton to “streamline” the band’s image—and if that means sanding down their sound, so be it.

Dom refuses to be edited.

Micah refuses to be charmed.

Between backstage tension, half-truths that feel safer than vulnerability, and a growing suspicion that Micah’s cool control hides his own kind of fear, they collide into a romance that dares Dom to stop joking long enough to be seen.

A sizzling M/M romantic comedy about creative control, hidden talent, and the permission to be brilliant without apologizing for it.
