Jack was a rock star on the way to fame. Leila was following her dream and joining his band as a back-up singer. An insane attraction sparked between them that they couldn’t deny. Attraction quickly led to so much more. They ignored all the warnings and fell in love.
When the couple embark on their tour, they couldn’t be more excited to travel the country hand in hand on the way to stardom. The road ahead is filled with miles and miles of possibilities. Along with their band, Devil’s Lair, they feel nothing could stop them.
An angry ex-band-mate, a pregnant ex-girlfriend, and never-ending Internet gossip all attempt to wreak havoc on their developing relationship. New love does not mix well with stress, pressure and guilt. Together they face each and every challenge, stubbornly fighting for what they have. Will their determination be enough?
Welcome to the Devil’s Lair – enter if you dare.
Members of Devil’s Lair: Jack Lair, lead singer; Leila Marino, back-up singer and keyboard;
Hunter Amatto, drummer; Trey Taylor, bass guitar; Scott Malone, lead guitar.
All the members of Devil’s Lair are coming down from the celebratory buzz of the success from
opening night of their North American tour except for Jack and Leila. Jack’s ex-girlfriend, Jessa
dropped a pregnancy bomb in his lap. One bomb wasn’t enough for Jessa – she also warned
them that a former member of the band is out for revenge.
Leila has dreamed of being a rock star since she was a little girl; she knows her dream is within
grasp. She’s determined to show the world that she is part of Devil’s Lair because of her talent
and not her developing relationship with the lead singer. Leila has only been with the group for
a few months and this is her first tour; she doesn’t know how she will cope with the stress of
the tour performances or with living in close proximity to the other band members (except Jack
whom she can’t keep her hands off).
Jack and the rest of the band have clawed and scratched their way to the cusp of fame. Jack is
feeling the weight of the band’s success or failure on his shoulders. He knows that their label,
the press and the fans may lose their faith in Devil’s Lair if the news of Jessa’s pregnancy or his
relationship with Leila breaks. He knows it is inevitable that the news will get out and hopes
that he is not the reason for the group’s downfall.
Front & Center is the story of Leila and Jack nurturing their budding relationship while trying to
juggle the demands of a successful career in the music industry. The vow to put each other’s
needs front and center in their lives. Can they sustain this or will they succumb to the pressures
of fame?

A.M. Madden's debut novel Back-up is the first in a series of three. Book two, Front & Center and book three, Encore are both scheduled for release in early 2014.
A.M. Madden is a wife, a mother, an avid reader of romance novels and now an author. In Back-up she aspired to create a fun, sexy, realistic romantic story. She wanted to create characters that the reader could relate to and feel as if they knew personally.
A self-proclaimed hopeless romantic, she loves getting lost in a good book. She uses every free moment of her time writing, while working a full time job as well as raising teenage boys
