    About this ebook

    Please note: This is a novelette. Shorter fiction is a fun and quick read, not a full length novel.

    Living every girl’s fantasy, Melrose falls for one fifth of the most successful boy bands on the planet, Cole Newton. He invites her on a date and she can’t help but fall in love with her idol.

    But in a world that is full of shining stars, can one small town girl really capture the heart of a supernova? Find out in the first installment of the Star Kissed series.

    Jamie Campbell

    Jamie was born into a big, crazy family of 6 children. Being the youngest, she always got away with anything and would never shut up. Constantly letting her imagination run wild, her teachers were often frustrated when her 'What I did on the weekend' stories contained bunyips and princesses.Growing up, Jamie did the sensible things and obtained a Bachelor of Business degree from Southern Cross University and worked hard to gain her membership with the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia.Yet nothing compared to writing. Quiting the rat race to spend quality time with her laptop named Lily, Jamie has written several novels and screenplays. Spanning a number of genres and mediums, Jamie writes whatever inspires her from ghost stories to teenage love stories to tantalising murder mysteries. Nothing is off limits.A self-confessed television addict, dog lover, Taylor Swift fan, and ghost hunter, Jamie loves nothing more than the thrill of sharing her stories.

      CHAPTER 1

      The soda machine sprayed everywhere, just like confetti. I covered the spout with a cloth, trying to get the darn thing to stop. Nothing was going right today, not one stupid thing.

      Can someone switch the machine off? Please? I called out, hoping one of my co-workers would actually be awake and mobile.

      The fountain stopped its relentless spurting and fell into silence. I released my hands slowly, not wanting to get covered in the sticky syrup any more than I already was. There wasn’t one part of me that wasn’t contaminated with soda, salt, and fast food grease. Welcome to Saturday at Burger Nation.

      What’s all this mess, Melrose? My manager, officially named Pete, otherwise known as Creepy Pete, stood over me.

      The soda machine is broken, the off switch isn’t working. It’s going to need to be fixed. What on earth did he think the mess was from? It wasn’t like I casually threw soda on myself for fun. That would be his fantasy, definitely not mine.

      It’s not broken, you’re just not doing it right. Here, let me do it. He pushed me aside to flick the on switch again. I gave him a wide berth, letting him get covered in syrup and see how he likes it.

      But, then again, Creepy Pete would probably like that too. I shuddered, heading to the counter and the long line of angry customers. I bet every one of them wanted a soda too.

      Welcome to Burger Nation, what can I get you? I asked, wiping a fake smile across my lips.

      Two king burgers and super-sized cherry cokes, please.

      Our soda machine is broken, sorry. I can offer you a free water instead? Behind me, the soda machine hissed before a bang loud enough to rattle the windows rung out. Good old Creepy Pete wasn’t as handy as he liked to believe.

      Water’s fine, thanks.

      I repeated the same conversation with each of the next nine customers, all with Pete swearing under his breath behind me. He should have listened to me, he could have avoided the smoke fanning out of the machine, and the subsequent fire alarm it caused.

      Halfway through my shift, I found a moment of solace to wipe down all the tables. I was already dirty, I may as well be filthy at the same time.

      Hey, Rosy. I straightened up to see the smiling face of my best friend, Dallas Love. Yes, that was her real name. Her mom was really into pageants when she was born, she wanted a name to really stand out. Unfortunately, she never quite lived up to expectations.

      Hey, what are you doing here? I asked, casting a look Pete’s way to make sure he didn’t catch me talking instead of working.

      I’ve come to talk some sense into you. You look sick, I think you should tell your manager so you can leave and come with me.

      I rolled my eyes, we had already had that same conversation twelve times in the past week. I’ve got to work, Dal. I can’t go chasing down some boys. We’ll see them tonight at the concert.

      But every rumor I’ve found says they’re staying at the Royal Carousel Hotel. You’ve got to help me stalk them. Come on, Rosy, I can’t do it alone, she begged, sticking out her bottom lip to pout.

      I need the money. And I’m sure you wouldn’t be the only one at the hotel waiting for them. Every teenager in Meadowbrook will be there with you.

      Except you. Do you really want to miss out on seeing them? Up close and personal?

      I laughed. We’ll see them tonight.

      Yeah, from the nosebleed section.

      Melrose! Creepy Pete called out from behind the counter. Damn, he caught me.

      "I have to go, Dal. I’ll see you tonight.
