In the past, Katee Rose was the reigning pop star, captivating audiences with her electrifying performances and captivating the media with her relationship with Ryan LaNeve, the charismatic frontman of the adored boy band CrushZone. However, beneath the glitz and glamour, Katee yearned for a simpler life, away from the constant scrutiny and demands of stardom.

One fateful night, Katee finds herself in the arms of another CrushZone member, Cal Kirby. Quiet, serious Cal, who had always been a loyal friend to Katee, transforms into a man with smoldering eyes and skilled hands. Their encounter ignites a fire that sweeps away Katee's relationship with Ryan, jeopardizes her career, and upends her entire existence.

Fast forward to the present, Kathleen Rosenberg, or Katee as she's known professionally, has settled into an ordinary existence, content to leave her pop star image in the past. That is, until Cal reappears with an opportunity that could change her life forever. He is directing a Broadway show, and Katee has been offered a starring role, a chance to finally perform the way. The two haven't spoken since the joint destruction of their careers, and each holds the other responsible for their downfall.

Despite the lingering animosity and the scars of their past, Katee cannot deny the undeniable chemistry between them. The rehearsals are long, and those smoldering eyes still hold a spell over her. Those skilled hands still have a way of making her feel alive in a way that no one else has. As Katee delves deeper into the world of musical theater, she finds herself drawn to Cal, a man who understands her passion and her desire to break free from the constraints of fame.

"Funny You Should Ask" is a captivating tale that will resonate with fans of boybands, musical theater, and second chance romances. It explores the complexities of relationships, the power of forgiveness, and the importance of pursuing one's dreams. Carley Fortune's writing is witty, evocative, and filled with heart, making this a must-read for anyone who loves a good love story with a touch of musical magic.
