18+ | steamy, angsty rock star romance with a touch of humor THIS IS A SPIN-OFF SEQUEL TO "A SLIP OF THE HAND." It can be read as a stand-alone, but it does contain major ASotH spoilers. ***Proceed with caution! This blurb contains spoilers for "A Slip of the Hand"*** It starts at a wedding. Fiercely independent Seattleite Victoria Bradford has all but sworn off dating. But when she attends her cousin's glamorous Southern California wedding solo, she's blindsided by feelings of loneliness and inadequacy. In a moment of vulnerability, she meets a brooding, charming stranger. He's witty, disarmingly honest, and-oh yeah-the frontman of the chart-topping rock band, Oliver Rose and The Thorns. Oliver Rose is hollowed out by fame, not to mention the tumultuous journey that led to his latest multi-platinum album. He isn't looking to meet anyone, especially not at his childhood friend's wedding. But in Victoria, he finds someone who sees the man underneath the mask he wears. Victoria and Oliver's instant chemistry transcends their usual barriers, forging a connection neither expected. They've got everything going against them: a thousand miles distance, completely different lives, and the relentless pressures of Oliver's career. However, the biggest threat to their budding romance isn't their contrasting lifestyles. A relationship from Oliver's past threatens to eclipse everything. Cover by the amazingly talented and generous sulkytae! Content warning: explicit sex, drug and alcohol use, profanity, angst
