She dots her ‘I’s wearing Prada. He squeals to fans shirtless. When a deadly meeting changes everything, will she heed the threat, or take the plunge? Everyone calls him Slick, but I was raised in a home where everything was proper. Sean and I meet in an odd place, under dire circumstances, so nobody would ever expect what happened…to happen…but it did. A rock star and a psychologist seem like an impossible match. And it is. That’s why I have to leave, before everything is ruined... moreShe dots her ‘I’s wearing Prada. He squeals to fans shirtless. When a deadly meeting changes everything, will she heed the threat, or take the plunge? Everyone calls him Slick, but I was raised in a home where everything was proper. Sean and I meet in an odd place, under dire circumstances, so nobody would ever expect what happened…to happen…but it did. A rock star and a psychologist seem like an impossible match. And it is. That’s why I have to leave, before everything is ruined. I can’t be with him for so many reasons, as much as every cell in my body says that it’s right. Evidently, he agrees that we should be together, since he leaves breadcrumbs for me…but will they lead me back to him? She can’t even say my name. With a name like Slick, one expects some surfer-type, with nothing between his ears and a stake where his heart should be. Listen to my music and you’ll see. I’m somewhere between not much and kinda something, you know? But Doc, she’s…something else. The way she handled things on the roof that night…If it weren’t for one thing, she’d be mine. That one night. I should have done it differently. Then she’d still be here. But I can’t take it back…or…can I? …and just when we think we’re past danger, just when I think that the band has it all, and that I’ve got Doc, too, an unexpected person walks in, and I know that we’re back to square one again. ​ Rock star romance Medical romance Suicide Medium heat Smoking Swearing Cliffhanger ending less

He sings behind powdered courage. She’s got his greatest hits album in her backseat. And just when they think the grass is greener together…it turns blood red. Storm is the sexiest man alive. He just doesn’t know it. What he also doesn’t know is that I’m his biggest fan. Until he shows up at a mutual friend’s place of business one day, and there’s no denying it. But behind those musical lips is a man standing on a ledge, and I’m not sure who or what can talk him down off it... moreHe sings behind powdered courage.

What he also doesn’t know is that I’m his biggest fan. Until he shows up at a mutual friend’s place of business one day, and there’s no denying it. But behind those musical lips is a man standing on a ledge, and I’m not sure who or what can talk him down off it. But I’m not about to abandon him. At least, not by choice… *** The second she walks into Ray’s office, I’m done. Dez is the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen, hands down. But I can’t tell her why I’m here, at a psychiatrist’s office, so, instead I tell a lie that I’ll later regret. And just when I think that I’ve led her on, she shows me in a way that I never dreamed, that she already knows. We fall fast and hard for each other, despite my secret, despite how bad things get at a time when they should be getting better. And then it happens one night. The other shoe falls during a show, but the world is shocked to learn who sets our course on a different path…and who will be the one clinging to life.
