Never Settle For Less
Title: Never Settle For Less
Summary: Louis Tomlinson is the new lead singer of The Diamond Rogue; he was picked by the record company to replace Aiden Grimshaw, the band’s current lead singer. The problem? No one, not even the band, know who he is or what he looks like.
The Diamond Rogue is a close-knit group forged through an X-Factor rejection and a searing, record breaking first album. To the public, they seem like best friends, but tensions are rising between Aiden Grimshaw and Harry Styles and the whole band has taken sides. Tired of the constant fighting, Aiden has decided to resign; his replacement could either be a new bloke or Harry himself. As the band are understandably wary of a new member, they’ve made their opinion very clear: Harry is the only lead singer they’ll accept.
Sure of success, one of the label execs comes up with a plan: Louis will pose as a journalist along for the ride and get to know the band that way. If they don’t click, Louis steps down and no one will ever be the wiser. If they click, he’ll reveal himself and take his new position. It’s not a bad plan and Louis agrees to it, joining The Diamond Rogue for their stadium tour. All is going well until Louis falls in love. Fuck. That wasn’t supposed to happen.
