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.

Beautiful, elegant, and intelligent, Addison Reade gave up her dreams of being a doctor long ago when she married James Richardson, the lead singer for the world-famous rock band Death Ever After.

Christian Hendrix's story (straight out of Coffee And Papers) * * * His heart was broken by the rejection from his one true love and now, a possible way surfaced for him to grow out of that pain. There was no thinking twice. He accepted the proposal and now, he's about to marry the only child of a business tycoon except, she's no ordinary person. Twenty-three-year-old Harieth Gryffin was a woman dazzled by the materialistic features of this world. A total opposite to his first love. A living epitome of your typical blonde heiress. Shopaholic, carefree, sassy and child-like attitude. A date was fixed and the media fully informed but it seems the Gryffins are up to something a little sinister behind the cameras. * * * My husband, whose heart belongs to another. * * * "I..." "You seem to have forgotten why you're standing here in the first place... Perhaps, I should remind you. We're getting married tomorrow just because I wish to see my family's company progress further. Therefore, because of the money. For future reference, there's no need for you to act like a wife. Don't ask me questions relating to my personal life and don't try to get close to me. I don't like you now and I definitely won't like you in a few months." With that, he walked away, leaving me to reminisce on his harsh statement. A crazy chuckle escaped my lips as I try my best not to feel affected by his words. Definitely, I've heard worse. * * * I won't call this book a sequel because it can be read as a standalone.
