Surviving an unspeakable crime as a young teen had shaped him into a guarded workaholic, and he now lived his life trying to forget. If it hadn’t been for music and the redemption he found through it, he might not have survived. Career success came easily for him. Personal connections did not. When outspoken, vivacious college student Casey Caldwell was paired with the famously reserved rockstar for a friend’s wedding, she was prepared for the worst. What could they possibly have in common? She was a bubbly talker; he was a reclusive loner. His life was filled with music; she couldn’t carry a tune.

Featuring new and exclusive interviews with band members James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, and Kirk Hammett, this is the definitive account of the most venerated period of Metallica’s history, from the incredible highs of touring in support of Ozzy Osbourne to the lows of losing a key member of the band and crucial part of the Metallica sound. Metallica: Back to the Front will also feature interviews with other important figures in the band’s history, including managers Cliff Burnstein and Peter Mensch, Faith No More guitarist Jim Martin, Anthrax band members Scott Ian and Charlie Benante, and many, many more. Filled with hundreds of never-before-seen images from the band’s personal archives, this deluxe volume will combine an in-depth narrative with stunning visuals, taking fans further into this defining period of the band’s career than ever before.

     Lex Harrison knows he met the man of his dreams but is devastated when he wakes up alone in a hotel room. “Look, I had a really great time with you but I wasn’t looking for more than one night,” he admitted and Lex felt a little gross. “No, you wouldn’t want your wife to find out,” he accused and Truman’s face twisted. “I’m not married and it’s not like that,” he said and Lex ignored the swell of relief he felt as he stared at Truman. Whatever. He’s still a creep and not worth your time. “Wonderful. Feel free to forget the whole thing happened,” he said and Truman snorted. “I’m sure that won’t be a problem for you. Just pretend I’m another groupie or desperate fan you hooked up with,” he said and Lex laughed in disbelief. “You don’t know a thing about me!” He said and Truman gave him a bored look as he waited. Lex pushed away from the desk and halted Truman before he could pace down the aisle. “I don’t think I could count on one hand how many times I’ve hooked up with guys I wasn’t actually dating,” he said and Truman shrugged. “You’re a rock star with morals or a romantic. That’s kind of surprising but that doesn’t make this any less messed up,” he said and Lex couldn’t tear his eyes away from Truman’s lips or stop smelling him. His body felt like it was being pulled closer to Truman’s and his hands reached for his face on their own. Truman’s eyelids fell and a soft moan slipped from his throat as his head tilted. Their lips brushed and they were still as time stopped. Truman’s chest pressed against Lex’s as he pulled in a shaking breath then they both gasped as their lips collided. Their teeth crashed as their tongues dueled and Lex’s hands gripped at Truman’s shoulders and neck and swept through his hair as he greedily tried to pull him closer. Truman’s hands fisted in the back of his shirt and locked around his ass and Lex groaned as his hard-on pressed against Truman’s. Lex licked and sucked, desperate for the soft, minty warmth of Truman’s lips and tongue as they clawed and ground against each other. “Oh, God! Stop!” Truman rasped as he pulled his head back. His eyes were large and panicked as his chest heaved. “I can’t do this to Violet,” he whispered and he held onto Lex’s shoulders as he stepped back.
