I can say all my dreams have come true. I've not only met and fell in love with the man of my fantasies, Alex Austin...but he loves me back. On top of that, my goal of becoming a 'famous' musician seems to also be a thing. As much as I want this, I do fear our new fame is a result of my relationship with Alex. That the bands only known because of who the members are dating, or because of ex-member, Mia, and her infamous behavior, or even my assault at the end of the summer tour.

I've always wanted to be a musician. Not necessarily famous, but the way I connected to music, I dreamed of people feeling that way about mine. Starting a band with my three best friends was a no brainer. No, it wasn't instant success, but it didn't take long for us to get noticed. There's not many all-female metal bands, and we understood that helped propel us into the industry. We wanted to prove we were more than eye candy and were an awesome band. Being women and wanting respect, we lived like rock stars, doing what our male counterparts did. Sex, drugs, and rock and roll.

Look, it wasn’t even my idea. But that’s hardly an excuse for agreeing to teach my best friend’s little sister how to win a man. But like I was going to let some other guy in the city help the deliciously awkward and ridiculously sexy woman figure out the ways of men? My unquenchable (and very secret) desire for Harper aside, she’s my good friend too. What’s the big deal if I give her a fake (but it feels real) kiss on the street? Or if I help her learn how to dirty text?

Irys Fredricksen has grown up around alpha males. Her dad, her brothers, and all the men from The Warrior of the God MC. So naturally, she dates a guy totally opposite of that and wonders why he doesn't light her panties up. Evan Ramirez is finally on the right track. Good job, legal earnings and settling into a life on the straight and narrow. He never expected to fall face first in lust with his best friends little sister. Who knew one encounter, a naked in the shower encounter, would change everything.

I've never been afraid of the dark...but that doesn't mean I wanted to live in it. Maybe everyone wants what they can't have, but I should've thought it over before I unlocked the door to their forbidden world. Number One is mostly silent. He watches me very carefully. Number Two is mostly gentle. But it's the other side of him I like best. Number Three is mostly reserved. It was carnal, it was sensual, and it was erotic. That's it. That's all it was supposed to be. A trip into the dark. A peek into the forbidden. I just didn't expect to like them.

With a full heart, and looking forward to a passion filled week, Tess is on top of the world. But lusty paradise is shattered. Kidnapped. Drugged. Stolen.

The stars were aligned the night Katie Kingston met Joey Petersen. The fact they even met at all proves that sometimes the world works in mysterious ways. Katie knew from the day they met that as soon as Joey graduated high school he would be signing up for the military. But nothing prepared her for the long journey they both would embark on.
