The past has come back to haunt Brock Mason. He had thought that the dissolution of their band two years earlier would have been enough to keep his ex-best friend out of his life forever, but Trace Strickland isn't fading away quietly from the bright city lights. As Trace catapults back into media stardom, spreading rumours scandalous enough to destroy Brock's already rocky solo career, Brock knows that he needs to act fast to salvage his image before it's irreparably damaged. When his recording contract is sold to a new label, Brock must face the music when his only saviour is someone who might want nothing to do with him. Travis Grant is at a standstill. With those around him beginning to move on to bigger and better things, Travis wonders if competing on the rodeo circuit and ranching cattle is all that he's truly destined for. But when famed country singer Brock Mason arrives in Travis' small town, seeking the help of Travis' superstar younger sister, Travis inexplicably finds himself drawn into the world of celebrity that he's always so steadfastly avoided. As Travis and Brock grow steadily closer, Travis begins a journey down a path that will alter his future forever as he grapples with accepting who he is versus who he is meant to be. **Note: due to life insanity, this book is being updated VERY slowly.

Dad hummed a tune by the beetles, driving with one hand, his other clasped to mom's small one. Liam bumped me excitedly and Angelina rested her hand against the window, smiling to herself. I sighed contently, tapping my fingers to the rhythm of dad's favorite song, "Yesterday". Then we turned onto the bridge. The last thing I remembered were screeching tires and a blood-curdling scream. My scream. My name is Valkyrie Hale, I'm 17 years old, and this is my story. **TRIGGER WARNING** This book deals with topics like depression, anxiety, PTSD, and violence.
