Blurb
Out-of-work violinist Erica Timberly decides enough is
enough. She leaves her abusive boyfriend and flees the big city, but then her
car breaks down in the middle of the night. Though wary of men, she accepts
help from Dylan Haynes, a stranger driving by on the road, and soon recognizes
him as the sexy former drummer of her favorite indie rock band. Maybe, just
maybe, her run of bad luck is finally turning around.

Music teacher Dylan Haynes knows Erica is in trouble, and
her black eye is only the first clue. The stubborn yet vulnerable woman needs a
friend, but he’s determined to give her everything she deserves.

Excerpt
Dylan deepened the kiss
and lightly tugged on her bottom lip. Tears streaked his flushed cheeks as he smiled
at her. “I’m so grateful I found you, baby. I heard you screaming. When I saw that
bastard press a gun to
your head, my heart nearly exploded. I thought I might lose
you. I promise you, Erica, I will never control you as Phil did. You will always
have the ability to choose. I
just want to make you happy.”

She gripped his hand and
brushed her lips across his calloused knuckles. “I know. You do make me happy. You took
a bullet for me.” A sob constricted her throat, but she pushed it down.

A blast of noise rent the
air. Fireworks filled the
sky, visible in the alley from the narrow stretch of space between
the buildings.

Erica loved the bright
colors and designs, but hardly
cared about watching the spectacle. She dropped her gaze

A grin spread across his
face. “It’s been one wild
Fourth of July. Why don’t we do something more low-key next year? How
about no guns and crazy exes? Just us, the creek, and a bottle of wine.
Clothing optional.”
She laughed softly, amazed
he could make light of
the situation. “That sounds perfect. Absolutely perfect.”
