It's a short story I wrote in 2015 and was published as part of an anthology. Two strangers, one concert: sometimes the stage isn't where the action is.Jess Lane couldn't be more excited to see her favourite rock band in concert with her boyfriend ... until he dumps her via text message only hours beforehand.Not one to feel sorry for herself and cry into her pillow, she decides to go anyway.Screw him.Chase Lewis just had the worst week of his life and can't wait to see his favourite rock band in concert ... until he realises at the gate that he's lost his all-access pass.In steps a beautiful stranger to the rescue.She has a spare ticket.And Chase needs one.

    A normal functioning man when he hadn’t felt that way in years. "Who're you f*cking?" When my father, manager of the worldwide phenomenon Kinky Shine, asked me to come and help the band members appear more approachable I never thought my first meeting with Dex Bowers would start with such a question. Immediately, I wanted to strangle him, wipe the smirk off his face and force him to mutter more than three words. But there's something mysterious about him that was electrifying and the more he pushed me away and angered me, the more I wanted to know him and push through his hangups. "Trust. That f*cking trust thing didn't come easily to me." In the five years since my band became famous, not once had I been photographed with a woman. I knew it fed the supposed mystery surrounding me, but the real truth was far more humiliating than I was comfortable with. That was until Harley Floyd walked in and I was left with a mind numbing lust for her that scared me shitless. It should be easy to let go and trust her just enough to have fun, to be happy I could finally come up with new material for our next album. But nothing was easy and with a life made of sex, drugs, and rock n' roll I wasn't sure if anything could last. Not even my band. "What twenty-five year old was f*cking lost when his cock was rock hard when close to a gorgeous woman?  One answer to that; a man who hadn’t had sex in a really long time."For readers over 18 only.

    He also has a heart full of bitterness and a reputation for a short-fused temper. But an outward reputation rarely reveals the true man inside.

They both soon find themselves drowning in a sea of desire and passion that won’t let them up for air. Sebastian knows firsthand secrets never die, and he’s not the only one who’s hiding them. Loving someone always comes with a price. But will it be Shea’s past that costs them everything?
