Since that day, I’ve lived unapologetically. But my lifestyle is just a ruse to distract myself from everything I try to forget. Money, booze, and women are always within reach. Being a successful musician means I want for nothing, and I take advantage of that fact too. When all the emotions I’ve buried deep inside begin to take a toll on my creativity, I can’t help but succumb to every desire and whim, and behaving selfishly seems to come so easy to me these days. For the most part, I haven’t dwelled on my faults, but after meeting the woman hired to be my new assistant, I can’t keep up the fake façade I’ve adopted. Dylan tears down every one of my walls with ease because being selfless seems to be as natural to her as breathing. I should keep my personal and professional lives separate, yet that small voice deep inside, the one I’ve ignored for so long, is screaming that I won’t get hurt again. Instead, it’s begging me to seek salvation within the comfort of her arms.

A.P. Watson grew up in the small town of Estill Springs, Tennessee. Living in a rural area allowed her imagination to run wild, and she began making up stories in her head at a young age. Being an avid reader furthered her love for storytelling. Her favorite books to read have almost always been heavily doused in romance, but she continues to enjoy a variety of authors—from Jane Austen and Charlaine Harris to Ayn Rand and Edgar Allan Poe. Finding herself immersed in unfamiliar worlds only inspired her to put pen to paper, and eventually, her love for reading transformed her into a writer. While her reading preferences have no limits, she tends to write stories in the realms of contemporary and paranormal romance. Her stories are the culmination of her passions, combining her love for art, history, dance, and medicine. As she grows as a writer, A.P. would like to branch out into other genres while maintaining a central romantic theme. When she isn’t reading or writing, A.P. spends the majority of her time dancing. She has been an avid pole dancer for several years and has performed in major cities all over the South. She is constantly enraptured by the athleticism, grace, and beauty of the sport and always looks forward to choreographing her next routine. A.P. has a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from East Tennessee State University, and in 2019, she obtained a Master of Science in Nursing with a Family Nurse Practitioner concentration from the same university. She has worked as a critical care nurse for over eight years and loves to incorporate her medical knowledge and experience into her writing. Her goal as an FNP is to combine her love for aesthetics and skincare by becoming certified to administer Botox and dermal fillers. She currently resides in Johnson City, Tennessee, with her adorable rescue pup, Elle.
