Dean Frost is the guitar player in the world's biggest rock band, and he's also the puzzle piece that was missing from my life. I thought one night would be enough, but I was wrong. Dean was something I never saw coming. The green-haired guitar player with the thousand-watt smile tilted my world upside down the very night we met. For the previous ten years I had kept my heart under lock and key. As captain of the Boston Terriers, I put hockey and my son above everything else. I had no social life. No dating, no hookups, nothing. But there was something different about Dean. He was kind, funny, and unlike anyone else I had ever met. And my son adored him. Dean doesn't do anything halfway. Even though he's never been with a man before, he jumps in with both feet and eyes wide open. He's bratty at times, and pushes back when I pull away just to prove he wants to be part of my life. I'm terrified to get close to someone again. Scared that I'll end up heartbroken with another horrible loss. I'm convinced that Dean should be with someone else, someone closer to his own age, even though it breaks my heart. So, I do the only thing I can think of and I break his first. It takes me too long to realize I've made an unspeakable mistake, and it might already be too late.

Sundae Leighton writes romance novels that are sweet with a dark twist. She got her start writing fanfiction with her friends in school, but didn’t take the plunge to publish her first book (Picture Perfect) until 2020. Born and raised in Connecticut, where she currently resides with her husband and their cats. She sometimes scares herself when she writes things darker than intended, considers coffee the nectar of the Gods, and once ran the NYC marathon (OK - half marathon). When she isn’t writing down what the voices in her head tell her to, she likes watching murder shows, NASCAR, and reading romance books with lots of dark angst. You can keep in touch with Sundae at SundaeLeighton.com and find her on most social media platforms.
