NO Shades Of Gray

PTSD is triggered when Violet Crawford sees the media hype on 50 Shades of Grey. Back in the 1960s she had been the love victim of Hunter Sterling. She hadn't thought of him in years and now... She tells Donna Rockley, a co worker, whom she had thought was a friend, about her past relationship. Donna messages him on Starface and Hunter responds. When Donna gives him Violet's address he shows up at Violet's door. Hunter had stalked her after they broke up and he had then gone on to rock and roll stardom and had never looked back. Violet had breathed a sigh of relief . Now here he was at her door, 250 million dollars richer, with a look of love on his handsome smiling face. He knows she's single, never married. He knows she has no man in her life. Here he is offering all the world has to offer. Will she run into his arms? Will she give up her own desires to please him? Had he changed or was he still the bad boy of her teenage memories? What about all those stories she had heard about him over the years, stories of abuse of other women ( and men )?
Would she give him a second chance at breaking her heart? They are both in their late 60s with memories of the wild days of garage bands, the British Invasion, psychedelia. 1960s: sex, drugs and rock and roll with these two young lovers in the midst of the scene. Violet stayed behind to live an anonymous life in Orange County. Hunter became a famous rock star, married models and led a jet set lifestyle. But do you ever forget your first love? What layers of pastel hues of rose does one paint on the myriad shades of black and blue? What dreams invade to whisper pretty lies to mask the ugly truth of reality? Was it that good? Was it that bad? Hunter comes back and even though they are older the chemistry is still there. But is love enough? Is lust and desire enough? Can he win her back? Does she want him to? This is the story of what happened to two young lovers and love that was broken by pride and fame.
