Kevin Emerson s "Exile" combines the swoon-worthy romance of a Susane Colasanti novel with the rock n roll of "Eleanor & Park."

Summer Carlson knows how to manage bands like a professional minus the whole falling-for-the-lead-singer-of-the-latest-band part. But Caleb Daniels isn t an ordinary band boy he s a hot, dreamy, sweet-singing, exiled-from-his-old-band, possibly-with-a-deep-dark-side band boy. She also finds herself at the center of a mystery she never saw coming. When Caleb reveals a secret about his long-lost father, one band s past becomes another s present, and Summer finds it harder and harder to be both band manager and girlfriend. Maybe it s time to accept who she really is, even if it means becoming an exile herself."
