Audrey Juarez is a college student with the world at her fingertips. She volunteers at a homeless shelter in her free time, hoping to rebuild a broken system from the ground up. While there, she meets Evan Byrd, a beautiful young man with a troubled past and a gorgeous singing voice. Drawn to his sweet smile time and time again, Audrey has to ask herself: does she want to help Evan back onto his feet, or let him sweep her off of hers?

"What's the difference between a book and a musician?" I ask.
Evan thinks for a moment. "No idea."
I smile. "You should always judge a musician by their covers."

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.

As a college freshman, Violet Riley is plagued with questions about her future. It is why a distraction is the last thing she needs or wants right now. But that is exactly what a street musician turns out to be. While Violet doesn't expect anything to happen from the brief encounter, the musician thinks differently. He corners Violet with a claim that she is his muse, and because being called someone's muse can only flatter a young woman's self-esteem, the musician expects Violet to be flattered by his compliment. She, however, sees the claim as nothing but an uninspiring lie. And that because of a simple reason. Violet hates classical music. Will the musician be able to convince Violet that he is telling the truth, or will Violet be successful in pushing him out of her life before finding out what actually hides behind his claim?
