Once the relationship comes to a tumultuous end, she loses very nearly everything, her sanity included. As an effort to promote her career, she is forced to tour with an all-male rock band and is not looking forward to the experience.....that is, until she meets the cryptic, playful lead singer, Landon Stone. Over time, she finds that he's everything she wants, but he has life-threatening demons that she's not sure he can overcome. She lets herself be sucked into the turbulent world of sex, drugs, and rock and roll. Danger and loss is at every corner, and she isn't sure how much she can take. While she invests herself into this man in efforts to heal him, will she be able to heal herself before it's too late? *****Note: This is a slow-burn, friends-to-lovers romance, but its primary focus is about healing.
