A Modern Romance Inspired by
The Phantom of The Opera
The world is nothing but one big
façade. You have to be special to see the behind the mask.
Erik
Renevant once lived in the spotlight. As lead singer for the wildly
successful group, Specter the world revered him. When an accident
destroyed his band and his face, he chose to live his life in the
darkness, hiding away from the shadows of his former self and
refusing to be seen again.
Christine Day longs to have
her chance in the spotlight. Living her life flitting from one thing
to the other and currently without a permanent residence, she sees
her big break in becoming the backup singer for an unknown band and
entering the Stage of Stars, the latest hit reality
competition.
When Christine wanders into Erik’s
perfectly controlled world and he hears her voice, he knows she is
destined for super stardom. However, he never dreamed she would be
the one to help him shatter his own façade and lead him into the
light.
Façade is inspired by the beloved story of the
Phantom of the Opera and is a combination of all the different
incarnations.
GOLDEN EYES, LONG, LAYERED black hair
that framed his face, tall, lean and powerful. When Christine
pictured her ghost, never in her wildest dreams, did she think she
would conjure a man who was only a little older than her and looked
like rock star crossed with a sexy superhero, or maybe even a super
villain. Heck, the man even wore a white mask over half his face. All
he needed was a cape to go with his tight white button down and
equally as tight and much more impressive black jeans.
Did
she ask about the mask or was it apparent why he wore it? What did
she do now? No matter what he looked like, she had to hug her
benefactor.
She swore she felt him shaking when she
wrapped her arms around him, but it didn’t stop her.
After
what seemed like an eternity, he gave her a light embrace. She didn’t
know why her breath caught or why she didn’t want to let go.
He
stepped back first and stared into her face.
Neither of
them spoke. As if they each needed to assess the other, they simply
stood there.
“Erik?” She had to say
something.
“Come on.” He took her arm. “We have to
get you formally settled. We have a lot of work to do if you’re
going to be ready for that audition.”
“You said
something about some ground rules?” She hurried to keep up with
him.
Without another word, he led her backstage to a set
of stairs.
Maybe she was insane, but it never occurred
for her not to follow him. Instead, she kept tight hold of him while
he led her into the dimly lit passageway and brought her down two
flights of stairs. The door he opened showed pitch-black
nothingness.
“Erik!” With a gasp, she pulled him
closer.
“Another thing we need to work on is
your fear of the dark.” His smooth voice seemed to caress her. “The
darkness is nothing to fear. Trust me, bright light can hold just as
many horrors.”
Kim Carmichael began writing eight
years ago when her need for graphic sex scenes and love of happy
endings inspired her to create her own. She has a weakness for bad
boys and techno geeks, and married her own computer whiz after he
proved he could keep her all her gadgets running. When not writing,
she can usually be found slathered in sunscreen trolling Los Angeles
and helping top doctors build their practices.
