Ed For ten challenging years, I've been the lead guitarist for the band I formed with my best friend Axel. Grindstone is on the verge of making it big. Which is why I'm livid when our manager brings in some snooping, scandal-chasing documentary producer to film our trip to Rocktoberfest. We're about to hit the biggest stage of our career, and I'm worried this rich jerk, who has destroyed other celebrities, might uncover the secret I've kept hidden for years. I want to just ignore him, but as attraction sizzles, I start letting down my guard. Giving in to these urges might mean distracting him from his mission and getting him on my side. That's the point. Right? Thornton I want to bring Ed and Axel down for what they did to my sister. I've managed to insinuate myself into their inner circle as a documentarian, and I'm this close to pay dirt. Using seduction to uncover the last of Ed's secrets might be tacky, but what red-blooded man would turn down what the bisexual rock god is offering? But as we find stolen moments to try to slake the need, I'm having second thoughts. If I don't avenge the wrong done to my family, I won't be able to live with myself. The promise of sex shouldn't be enough to stop me. But as I sink deeper into a relationship with Ed, I must decide if my need for revenge is worth destroying any hope of a future together. Axe to Grind is a book in the multi-author Road to Rocktoberfest 2023 series. Each book can be read as a standalone, but why not read them all and see who hits the stage next?
