Song Bird Hearts. Green River Hearts, #4

Valerie Dactur is a rising star. That's what all the newspapers claim- that she'll see her name in lights soon enough -and she has half a mind to believe them. All these years of playing in small dive bars and singing to small crowds has paid off. Now, she's singing in front of stadiums, and just last week, they asked her to sing the national anthem at the Superbowl. Life is good. Until it ain't. With stardom comes a behind the scenes look at what it takes to make it big, and what it takes to stay there.
When she witnesses something she shouldn't at a party and accidentally live streams it, the spotlight turns deadly. So what's a girl to do? She runs back home and hires bodyguards. Knox Holloway, the security expert. Gilden Boone, the specialist. Wolf, the stalker from the party that thinks he knows what's best.  Her new bodyguards seem like they know what they're doing, but even they aren't prepared for the lengths the Foundation will go to keep their secrets buried.
If they keep underestimating the people who'd really like to see her dead, they'll all find themselves in body bags. Valerie worked her whole life to escape the Green River Basin, and no one's going to take that away from her. Not even the men determined to protect her. Life is about singing with the songbirds in the mornings, but sometimes, those birds aren't songbirds at all. Sometimes, they're vultures.
Valerie will soon find out what she's willing to give to see her name on Hollywood Boulevard. Is she willing to bleed for it? Is she willing to kill? Is she ready to fight tooth and nail to cement her place among the greats? After all, the world is watching.
