Free to Breathe
K.L. Shandwick - 2019
Reputations are usually built over time and can be destroyed in a heartbeat. When that reputation has been built on a lie and is destroying my future, how do I prove I’m not the man they originally wanted the world to see? Maggie Dashwood... Noah Haxby broke my heart, shattered my world, and stole my future and I’d never even met him. Was I a fan? No. But I knew someone who was. Ask any man if he’d love to be most women’s fantasy and he’d probably say yes. Be careful what you wish for… fantasies can quickly turn into infatuations and obsessions, and sometimes, like in my case, obsessions can be lethal. This hate to love angsty rockstar romance is way more than you'll expect. Full of rollercoaster moments as both Noah and Maggie fight through pain to find the ending they deserve.

That’s my asshole step-brother and let’s not even get started on the club’s suspicious Enforcer or the President who’s dripping in sexual swagger. With four sexy as f*ck men at my back, can I get the job done or will our explosive personalities cause us to be at each other’s throats? Oh, damn!

F*cking bastards. But I’m not the thief who became famous at 15 years old and survived the mob’s hell in my past just to lay down and take that, they won’t know what hit them.
