Debut (Idol Pursuits Book 1) by Robert Rioux

When eighteen-year-old Heather Moon shoots to the top of her agency's trainee class, the goal of becoming a K-Pop singer lies within reach. That dream, however, is shattered when a callous executive offers a deal she has to refuse. Banished but undaunted, Heather must piece together an indie girl group with enough daring and talent to challenge society's constraints while meeting her lofty artistic goals.

Struggling to navigate life as musicians and new adults, the seven spirited misfits vow to stick together through thick and thin. Can Heather's band of friends survive the apathy of a brutal entertainment industry, or will their aspirations burn to ashes like dry grass in a blaze?

Debut is the sassy opening novel of the Idol Pursuits series about dreaming big and believing you can. This second edition has been extensively revised and updated.
