"And next time you talk about my ass, make sure I haven't caught you staring at it." "I'm sick, Trouble. I'm sick, and you're the only thing that stops the shaking." ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ Leona: The forbidden target. As the guitarist's sister, she was supposed to be off-limits, but she became Draven's "Trouble" instead. Resilient but haunted, she has spent the summer tour navigating a dark, electric frequency with a man who looks at her like she's the only thing worth saving, and the only thing worth destroying. Draven: A lethal rock god with a predatory streak and a silent, unhinged obsession. He doesn't just protect; he claims. Feral, territorial, and grumpy personified, he is a man of raw rage who would gladly watch his empire burn to the ground if it meant keeping the world's hands off what is his. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ It was supposed to be a simple summer tour. No distractions. No scandals. And definitely no touching his best friend's sister. For Draven and Leona, the "ghost" era was the only way to survive. They existed in the silence, in stolen glances and a heavy, unspoken frequency that hummed beneath the roar of sold-out stadiums. But secrets this dark can't stay hidden in the light of the paparazzi's flash. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ✨#1 in enemieswithbenefits #1 in tension #1 in rockstar #4 in oppositesattract #9 in brothersbestfriend #10 in wealthy #11 in secretaffair #22 in olderguy #81 in enemiestolovers #98 in seduction #94 in secretrelationship

"Ellis-" I squeak, heat radiating from my cheeks as he bends me over the back of his pristine couch. It's way too late at night, and I'm praying Beth doesn't wake up to find us here. Her best friend and her estranged father. "You wanna avoid me in my own house after weeks of begging to ride my cock and stay tied up in my bed? Fine." His lips fan slightly warm air across the back of my neck while his calloused hands firmly reclaim what I've been purposely withholding. My waist, my ass, pulling up my skirt. "Tell me how you'd like to be punished, Darling. Beg. If you're lucky, I won't ignore your request like you've ignored me." ⊹⋆₊🎀₊⋆⊹ Is your best friend asking you to move to Boston for the summer so she can reconnect with her estranged, ex-military sniper father? When you get there, is her father six-foot-five and deliciously aged? Is he all broad muscle and sweaty morning jogs? Does he make edits in the margins of your first draft manuscript... about BDSM? If you answered yes, you may be Darling Fields. ⊹⋆₊🎀₊⋆⊹ #1 in #lanadelrey 12/24/2025 #1 in #author 1/6/2025

Rhett Carter was once country music's brightest star-until the fame, whiskey, and bad choices brought him to his knees. At 36, he's a shadow of his former self, lost in a haze of regret and struggling to stay relevant. His manager, Corey, refuses to give up on him, pushing him to return to the studio for a shot at redemption. But there's a catch: Corey wants him to record a duet with Callie Monroe, Nashville's next big thing. The only problem? Rhett doesn't do duets. He's not here to share the spotlight with anyone-not even the talented, driven 26-year-old who's turning heads across the country music scene. When their worlds collide in the recording studio, sparks fly-just not the good kind. Rhett's grumpy, jaded attitude and Callie's ambitious fire make for one hell of a clash. But when their song hits number one, the tabloids get it all wrong: they're convinced the two are more than just a duet. With their song climbing the charts and the world watching, Corey pushes them to play the game-pretend to date, perform together, and keep the fire alive. But what starts as a fake relationship soon blurs the lines between hate and something much deeper. As Rhett and Callie fight their undeniable chemistry, they'll have to decide if they can fake love long enough to keep their careers afloat-or if the spark between them is more real than they ever expected.. This is a standalone romance set within The TDX Series - a collection of interconnected love stories based in the world of Nashville's most iconic record label. This is Book One if you're reading in series order.
