One Night Only
SKY BLACK has dedicated her life to making music. Through her difficult childhood and struggle with addiction, her band was the only thing that brought her joy. Just as her dream of playing to thousands of screaming fans might become a reality, she’s dealt some devastating news.
Everyone in her life tells her she has to quit — her sister, who’s battling her own demons, and her mom, who shows up seeking forgiveness after abandoning the girls as children. But Sky’s come this far and she won’t give up now. The stage is the only place she’s truly alive, so she chases her dream until she doesn’t recognize it — or herself — anymore. When the fame machine is set in motion, there’s no turning back.

Have you read Shelby's first novel?
Mountain Girl
Krissy Mathews has returned. Four years ago, the beautiful seventeen-year-old vanished in the forest near her home. Obsessed with solving the case, a young hotshot detective has hunted her relentlessly. Now she bursts through the door of her hometown’s hospital, a lifeless child in her arms and a man she refers to as her husband by her side. The police pry Jasper Ryan from her grasp and charge him with kidnapping. Her family has been through hell, the detective wants answers, and no one understands her feelings for Jasper. Gripped by Stockholm syndrome, Krissy attempts to defend her kidnapper, but cracks form in her selective memory of the years she spent in captivity. She is forced to question what she thought was true love, borne of the twisted abuse she suffered while isolated in a mountain cabin. She is torn between the captor who fathered her child and the handsome detective who will stop at nothing to lock him up.
Mountain Girl is a wicked, turbulent thrill ride that will keep you guessing until the final page is turned.

Praise for
One Night Only
“Knudsen’s novel is tense and unrelenting; the author masterfully creates an immersive, claustrophobic atmosphere as Sky’s health, relationships, and sense of self become increasingly strained.” — Kirkus Reviews
