Chaz Montgomery has it all—fame, fortune, the best band mates a guy could ask for, as well as Neve. He loves his fiancée of three years, but something’s missing. It isn’t until he witnesses firsthand the epic, whirlwind romance that his best friend Bobby shares with his girl June that he realizes what he and Neve have is broken. Being the lead singer in the hot rock band The Vegas Aces, Chaz is used to being around women all the time. He’s never been tempted, unlike his buddy Donnie. No, Chaz is loyal to Neve. But is she loyal to him? Circumstances arise and the band is suddenly on the hunt for a new bass player. After many auditions, they still can’t find “the one” to replace their old one, Manny. When they feel like they’ve hit rock bottom, in comes an angel—a rock-and-roll bad-ass chick—who plays the bass like a star. There’s only one problem. She’s hot and an absolute distraction to Chaz. Taylor Ryan, or just Ryan to everyone who knows her, has finally landed her dream job. She’s the new bassist for the Vegas Aces and she couldn’t be more excited. Problem is, she has a secret—a big one the size of a mountain. There’s no room in her head or her heart for anyone else—especially the sexy, rock-hard, muscled, musical god she has to spend all of her time with. Things get heated when they go on tour and are crammed in a tour bus literally on top of one another. Tempers flare. Passions ignite. And people get burned. When Neve leaves the picture after an epic showdown, will Ryan finally let Chaz put a chink in her rock heart? Or will her mountain of secrets pile up and crush them both? Sometimes you have to break before you can piece yourself back together again.

Paparazzi. Groupies. His father. They’ll join forces. Together, Donnie and Nora form a Bonnie and Clyde relationship of sorts and find themselves running desperately from a storm determined to destroy them. Will these two find a way to be together forever?Or will dark clouds engulf them and blow away their chance at a happy ending?
