Development Jerica MacMillan

Summertime ... and the living is easy. Unless you're dating the next big pop star, and your meddling parents are holding you hostage more than a thousand miles away. Okay, so maybe that's a tad dramatic, but after spending all the time I want with Jonathan during the school year-playing music and helping him fill out the rest of his album-being separated is harder than I expected. We manage to convince my parents to let me visit him in California for two weeks. But they have stipulations. My older sister has to come with me as a chaperone, and if we're staying in Jonathan's apartment, then he has to stay at his parents' house. Two weeks isn't nearly long enough when I'd been pushing for the whole summer, but I'll take what I can get. Jonathan's dad is friendly and welcoming, his brothers are warming up to me, but his mom ... Well, let's just say that I thought Dallas was the home of sugar-coated venom. I guess we don't have a monopoly on that after all. Despite parental interference on both sides, our time together is almost everything I hoped it would be. Unexpected opportunities come my way that make it impossible for my parents to drag me back home, extending my stay and forging valuable contacts in the music industry. But all the good doesn't cover over the fact that Jonathan's mom and manager both think I'm a distraction. Their thinly veiled barbs make the city of angels feel more like the city of vipers. Once our summer together ends, I'll head back to Marycliff University while Jonathan goes on a North American tour to promote his new album. How am I going to handle it when we spend more time apart than we do together? Picking up Jonathan and Gabby's story, Development is the second installment in the Songs and Sonatas series.
