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.
Will Erica listen to the music in her heart and trust Dylan,
or will her past always threaten her future?
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 back to Dylan.
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.”
