Christina Benjamin and The Dangers of Dating a Diva

Bad Boys & Band Geeks don’t go together, or do they?

Self-proclaimed band geek, Layne Hall is used to being overlooked and that’s fine, as long as her music makes a mark. She’s waited a long time to showcase her talents at the elite songwriters’ competition and she has her eyes set on the prize. Winning the scholarship is her ticket out of small-town obscurity.

Too bad a kissing virus is about to blow up her plans . . .

When Layne’s best friend gets mono and can’t compete, she needs to find a new singer for her music, and fast! Luckily her coach has a solution—her son.

But Wyatt Nash is no hero . . .

With his too-cool-for-school attitude, popular jock friends, and heartbreaker reputation, Wyatt seems like the last guy to ever volunteer to help out, especially for a lame singing competition. But is this bad boy really as bad as he wants everyone to think or is there a reason for his smoldering attitude?

Wyatt isn’t Layne’s ideal partner. More like sworn enemy. But what’s a girl to do? Winning this scholarship is the only way Layne can afford college. She won’t get another chance like this.

But working with Wyatt means breaking her rules . . . and possibly falling for the most unlikely high school hero on the planet.

Meet the Characters…

Meet Layne Hall—band geek and wannabe songwriter. Music is life for this shy girl. She expresses herself best when pouring her heart into her song book. She’s never considered herself a diva. Layne likes life in the shadows. She writes the songs, someone else sings them. That’s what she’s comfortable with. Determined to have her music make a mark on the world, she’s putting everything she’s got into winning the songwriter scholarship. But with success comes the spotlight, and that’s something that terrifies her. Ever since her dad walked out on her she’s never thought she was good enough. And being an outcast at Northwood High hasn’t helped her confidence any. But the only way to accomplish her dreams is to overcome her fears and face the music . . . literally!

Meet Wyatt Nash—London-transplant, bad boy and all-around heartbreaker. At first glance it seems like he has it all; money, good looks, popularity and no trouble with the ladies of Northwood High. But things aren’t always what they seem. It can be lonely at the top. Wyatt might be the most unlikely of heroes to step in and rescue Layne when her singer bails, but there’s something about her that he can’t resist. She may have started as a distraction, but as he helps her rehearse for the scholarship things change. Catching feelings for Layne wasn’t part of the plan. That would mean he’d have to let her in, and trust isn’t something that comes easily to Wyatt. But how can he ask her to face her fears unless he’s willing to face his own?

Can this Bad Boy and Band Geek find the right note?
