Two wild nights. Twenty years of mystery. A daughter determined to unravel her mother's secrets and a mother equally determined to hide the truth forever.
December 31, 1999.
The Rogue Minions were stars of the underground on the verge of a breakthrough. Within weeks, they would be a global success plucked from obscurity with millions of rabid fans poised to fall at their feet.
Jeanine Michaels was a shy singer-songwriter ahead of her time with one thing on her mind - finish high school without making a name for herself in the WRONG way.
So, when their paths and musical styles collide on a rickety stage on the outskirts of Las Vegas during the fateful countdown to the new millennium, Jeanine begins to believe that things are finally falling into place. But dreams and reality rarely converge in the way you expect. As the shy singer-songwriter makes good on a promise and ushers in Y2K with The Rogue Minions, she even agrees to ring in the new year, the new century and the new millennium with a few celebratory glasses of champagne.
For a few hours, she finally feels like someone understands her— until a freak snowstorm traps them on the tour bus and she quickly learns that fact is often stranger than fiction. With her inhibitions thrown out the window, she makes a decision that could cost her everything, because she's not going to make it out of this night with her dignity, her career and her heart intact.

Lyric Michaels and her mother grew up like sisters with a bond so tight, nothing was secret between them. Sharing everything from clothes to crushes, the only dark spot between the pair is the identity of Lyric's father. And finding that answer isn't going to be as simple as Lyric thought. Despite refusing to discuss the matter with her to save face, Lyric finds her mother had been honest when it came to her father - she really didn't know who he was and had only narrowed it down to possibilities.
If Lyric's hunch about her mother's prolonged silence is correct, she's about to face her greatest fear of singing onstage in front of people to find him. All five men her mother admits as possibilities to be her father are playing the New Year's Eve countdown bash... together... as part of a reunion tour for the Rogue Minions.
Can Lyric figure out which Minion is her father before she gives herself away? Will the answer lead to more questions and secrets? And who is the dashing young gentleman who offers to help her solve the greatest mystery of her life? Only time will tell... and she doesn't have much before the clock strikes twelve...
