Reagan
It was meant to be a date of convenience. I received an all-expenses paid trip to Italy in exchange for signing one hell of a non-disclosure agreement. Ty Landon, drummer in the chart-breaking rock band Scarlet Shadow, needed a wedding date and made me an offer too good to refuse.
But it turned out that I signed my heart away when I signed that contract. There was something about Ty that made every single warning bell go off inside my body like a fire alarm. I welcomed the heat, despite knowing that this little arrangement of ours had an expiration date. Pity that neither of us believed in fairy tales.
Ty
I was taken with Reagan from the moment we met, but I wasn't a believer in relationships or love. Whatever this was, I convinced myself that it couldn't be more than just physical attraction. But somehow, she crawled under my skin and she lingered.
I was trying to break free from my past. The last thing I expected was to meet my destiny. She made me change every rule, and I started believing again. But that was my mistake because it turned out that I was always destined to break her wings.

Tangled Limbs (Shannon Leto Fanfiction)
Music inspires many to persevere, hope, dream, laugh, cry and process a wide variety of emotions. Music was very important to Melissa Campbell, having been the only constant in a tumultuous existence. It was key to her survival--her addiction. Far worse addictions were a hostile presence in her life that ultimately robbed her of a nurturing childhood and a happy marriage. Her perception of love was clouded by the misconception that other people's needs came first and only when she sacrificed herself did she feel worthy of it. Most of her life passed before she broke this cycle, finally finding happiness within herself. Melissa's motivation to change was spurred by one band in particular in more than one way. She followed a path that led her to what she was meant to do all her life--become a writer. Not only did she develop a passion for writing, she fell in love with a handsome bad-boy rock star. Shannon opened up a whole new world, giving her a depth of desire she'd never experienced. He lived in LA and she lived on the opposite side of the country however, making it a challenge to pursue a relationship. The idea of moving to California posed many doubts for her. Were his feelings genuine? Could he be faithful despite his widely acclaimed playboy reputation? Could she adapt to a different lifestyle? What hardships would she face in the public eye if they were a couple? She wanted answers before leaving the only life she'd ever known, but that was far from realistic. If she wanted him, she'd have to risk it all to see how things would unfold.Complete
