Ajax:I’m not a love and rainbows kind of guy. Growing up, our family motto was “want it? Take it” and I’ve grabbed every single opportunity that’s come my way. I work hard to prove I deserve it and it’s paid off. Kingmaker is one of the biggest bands in the world and now, as lead guitarist, I don’t even have to ask – stuff gets handed to me on a regular basis.

Take it” and I’ve grabbed every single opportunity that’s come my way. I work hard to prove I deserve it and it’s paid off. Kingmaker is one of the biggest bands in the world and now, as lead guitarist, I don’t even have to ask – stuff gets handed to me on a regular basis. And while I’m grateful I’m also kind of adrift. What happens when you don’t have to work for anything?But then a literal kick in the ass leads me to the girl of my dreams. Want it? Just for one night. As a rock star, that’s usually my line and after laying hands on Natalie Harper, I’m playing a different tune.Natalie:If history has taught us anything, it’s a failure to plan is planning to fail. As a history professor, I always have a plan. I like predictable and boring. They get a bad rap, but you know what? They’re safe and there’s nothing wrong with that. My brother missed this lesson now he’s on the bad end of a business deal, with no way out – until he offers me as the payment to Chicago’s biggest crime lord.Definitely not in my plan, so I came up with a new one. I just need ten minutes alone with the crime lord’s rock star brother. Extreme long shot? Oh yeah. But sometimes a plan comes together… and then goes straight out the window because ten minutes turned into twenty-four hours and now Ajax wants a lot more than just one night. less
