Perfect for readers who crave brooding heroes, strong heroines, celebrity romance, and emotionally charged love stories that keep the pages turning late into the night. Sebastian “Bash” Mercer has rules. Love lies. Love fails. True love is a myth. He learned that lesson long ago. Since then? No attachments. No promises. No women who stay until morning. As guitarist for Angel Fire, Bash has everything most men dream about. Fame. Fortune. Adoring fans. An endless parade of willing women. And none of it means a damn thing. Because Bash doesn’t believe in forever. Then Holly crashes into his life. Literally. Fiery. Beautiful. Wild-hearted. A drummer with talent, attitude, and absolutely no interest in being charmed by his bad-boy reputation. Which is a first. And immediately makes her dangerous. Because Holly doesn’t treat him like a fantasy. She challenges him. Pushes him. Calls him on his crap. And somehow slips beneath the armor he’s spent years perfecting. Holly Donovan knows exactly what kind of man Bash is supposed to be. The brooding rock god. The notorious heartbreaker. The commitment-phobe with a reputation for never letting women get close. She should steer clear. Instead, the chemistry between them burns hotter with every clash. Because beneath Bash’s arrogance is a man carrying wounds deeper than anyone sees. And Holly has never been good at walking away from a challenge. But falling for Bash means risking everything. Because men like him don’t change. Except Bash is starting to want things he never believed in. More than one night. More than chemistry. More than escape. For the first time in his life, Bash wants forever. The problem? Convincing Holly his heart is worth trusting. Because opening himself up may be the most terrifying thing he’s ever done. And losing her might destroy what’s left of him.
