Blank Tapes

The Spotlight Video Series, Book 2

The year is 1995 and Marley Gallagher is obsessed with her new computer…and the guys she meets in AOL chat rooms—they’re the perfect escape from her introverted nature and strict upbringing. A townie, and a shy one at that, Marley is finally embracing a little independence as she moves into her first dorm. The chat rooms online offer her the chance to reinvent herself, and maybe fall in love in the process. The only problem is, she’s so focused on the guys on her computer screen, she doesn’t see the one whose right in front of her nose…her co-worker at Spotlight Video, Emmett.

Emmett Roberts has been in love with Marley since their first shift together. And it’s obvious to everyone but Marley. Not wanting to ruin their friendship, or make things really awkward if she turns him down, Emmett avoids asking her out in person. With a little help from his friends at work, though, he devises a plan to win her heart. But, when Marley discovers that her latest online love interest is actually her co-worker in disguise, will Emmett lose his chances with her altogether?
