Nate Nash was a rock star… used to be a rock star.  Now he was just a sad cautionary tale.  He’d been living the high life for the last five years, since he was discovered in a dive bar.  He’d chosen a chance at fame over loyalty to his friend and duet partner.  He walked away from her when the record company told him they didn’t want her.  Five years later, having made too many bad decisions and lost too many nights to the pleasures of the flesh, his career had tanked and now the record company that signed him wanted its pound of flesh.To make him feel even worse his partner, Stevie Jacks - the one he walked away from in order to take the record deal - had just hit the big time.  It was just his luck that when his life was on the way down the crapper, hers was headed for the stratosphere.Was there any way he could salvage his flagging career and repair the rift between them?This is part one of a two-part story - a happily ever after is not guaranteed and it may very well end on a cliff-hanger.*This is a ‘Too hot to Handle’ Romance on the Emma Lea rating scale - These are definitely 18+ reads and contain graphic sex scenes and high level swearing – not for the faint of heart

Nadine Court was a hot mess.After crashing and burning in spectacular fashion during her debut tour with her band Court’n Jacks, Nadine had gone to rehab to get her…ahem…stuff in order.  Now she was ready to try again and hopefully, this time, they might actually finish the tour without her ending up in hospital and on the front page of every country music website in the world.  Which was why it was a very, very, very bad idea to get involved with her therapist… former therapist.Gabe Rousso had thought he had contained his attraction to the feisty violinist.  That was until that last session when an innocent kiss on the cheek had turned into something a whole lot hotter.  He wasn’t technically her therapist anymore, which was why he’d accepted her invitation to see her perform for the first time since her breakdown.  He shouldn’t have gone… but he did and of course that had led to more compromising of his closely guarded ethics.  She was a weakness he couldn’t afford and a temptation he couldn’t resist.This is a standalone romance - no cliff-hanger!*This is a ‘Too Hot to Handle’ romance on the Emma Lea rating scale - These are definitely 18+ reads and contain graphic sex scenes and high level swearing – not for the faint of heart.
