And then my band gets the call that changes everything… My dreams are all coming true, but what will the sudden rush of rock and roll success do to our new marriage?

Still Her

2020

The last three years have been a hell of a ride. The success of my band continues to steadily rise which is all a rock musician can ask for… Except for maybe being married to my beautiful, spunky wife. Having her by my side blows the rest of it all away. There’s just one insidious evil F-ing it up. We’ve signed with the industry’s highest rated PR rep. The guy is a real shark and can seemingly make anything happen for us with a snap of his fingers. He’s a high roller who’s built quite an empire and whether it’s women, deals, or access, if he wants it to happen, it happens. But he and I have a problem now… Because he now has his sights set on my wife. He thinks that because of who he is and what he’s done for us, she’s his for the taking. But while the douchebag overestimates his ability to get whatever he wants, he underestimates so much more. Like Mayzie’s love for me and this band. What I’m willing to sacrifice to keep him and his sick desires away from her. The strength of our love when we face something together. And her ability to stand up for herself and those she loves….

Picture Us

2020

Annie I hate clichés. The universe knows this, so imagine my surprise when I wind up as one. I took one night off from busting my ass at my photography business to go have fun for the first time in months… and now, here I am… the cliché who got knocked up by the player from a one night stand. Awesome. Now, after telling Tyler we shouldn’t exchange numbers and just keep it as a one-time thing, I have to go tell him. Luckily I know where to find him, but how in hell am I supposed to tell him, the guy who “doesn’t do relationships”, that he has over-achieving sperm and he’s going to be a dad? One way to find out… Tyler Annie wasn’t someone I figured I’d ever see again. She always stuck in my mind because she’s the only woman who never fell for my well-practiced bullsh\*t lines. When she walks into the bar where I work, the crazy attraction still sizzles between us, and while I always imagined a night spent together would be insanely hot, I never imagined it would wind up being the best night of my life. When she refuses to exchange numbers - something I’d normally consider a favor - for some reason, this time it leaves me… gutted. I’m beyond surprised when she marches back into my life a couple of months later, madder than a wet hornet because I knocked her up. But the biggest surprise of all is that I’m not scared. I’m excited. I want this baby… and I want Annie. But how can I, a former player, convince her that I’m serious about this, about her, about us? Annie’s it for me and I know it, now I just need her to be willing to give me a chance, to Picture Us… together.

Read Between the Stars

2021

Ben They say love can happen again after loss. I’ve seen it, and I’ve heard of it, yet it still seems like a myth to me. Maybe because I’ve never opened myself to it But now after a friend has pulled me out of the dark void, I’m seeing signs and feelings I thought were long dead are awakening. And I’m feeling them for Kasey. So many things about her set her far apart from all the rest but it’s her strength I love most about her. That and her little girl, Luna. She deals with her own struggles like a champ but do I want to add the complication of loving a widower to her life? While I’m skeptical at first, with each passing day, the more I believe that there’s nothing she can’t do. Kasey Men sure have a way of making me regret trusting them. Besides, I have enough to deal with being a single mother while battling my own demons. So it’s just me and my daughter. It’s better that way. She’s my best buddy and she’s enough. Would I like her to have a father and maybe even someone to love me too? Definitely. So I go on dates, hoping one will lead to someday meeting my daughter, but none of them have proven themselves worth the risk of shaking the foundation of the stable lifestyle I’ve built for her. But I’m faced with an unexpected challenge when I start to fall for a guy that’s already been introduced to her. A great guy, with a past of his own. Can he rebuild his broken soul and see me and Luna as his future? I want to believe he can. This story is intended for readers aged 18 and up. Certain scenes contain situations involving sensitive issues such as addiction and trauma that may be triggering for some individuals.

For Her

And now, she’s making my dreams come true by carrying my child. It seems there’s nothing she can’t handle, nothing she’s not up for, nothing she wouldn’t do for me. But it’s her time now.

Somewhere In Between

2022

Josh As the withdrawn, unsocial rhythm guitarist for one of the country’s hottest rock bands, my role in this world is like second nature. I’m not much of a people person, thanks to my upbringing, and have zero trust in those who try to get close. I play hard, both on and off stage, and with the exception of my bandmates, I have no interest in making connections, women included. So I use my sparkling personality to maintain my broody image while shredding my guitar on stage, and keep people at a safe distance. Avoiding our new assistant on this tour should be a no-brainer. She’s everything I should want to push away : Beautiful, smart, driven… and way too damn young. She’s even doing me a favor, ignoring me, content to leave me to my broody stewing… and it’s driving me out of my mind. Bobbi All I’ve ever wanted to do is work in the music business, to learn the ropes from the ground up and be a band manager someday. So when the chance to intern on a rock tour for one of the most acclaimed bands in the country, I jump on it, determined to give it my all and not let anything get in the way of proving myself – including the band’s handsome but aloof guitarist. His snarky attitude and god-like physique are proving to be a harder challenge than I thought, however, but not nearly as much as the way he looks at me. While I’m determined not to be the cliché assistant that falls for her rock star boss, it’s near impossible not to crave his yearning and possessive gaze. The way he makes me feel like so much of both a woman and a girl is addictive, and I’m in danger of losing sight of what I came here to do. If anyone finds out about us, I could lose my chance at a future in the music industry. If I fall for him, I could lose myself.
