British musician, Nicholas Trent, is a perfectly happy single man. He plays guitar, he's toured the globe with world renowned rock bands and shagged his share of groupies along the way.

Produktbeschreibung
British musician, Nicholas Trent, is a perfectly happy single man. He plays guitar, he's toured the globe with world renowned rock bands and shagged his share of groupies along the way. He's settled into middle age with a bit of celebrity, plenty of money, and comfort in his own skin. Then he meets Caitlin Flynn, a southern woman on her own in New York City. A week together allows Nicholas to brush an unfamiliar emotion-love-but she pushes him away. With the tour on a short break, he is persuaded to return to the "home" he'd fled as a frightened teenager. While there, he runs head-on into the very nightmares he'd escaped so many years past. Resuming his life on the road with the band, a groupie's act of violence threatens his very career and brings Caitlin back into his life. But Caitlin carries her own darkness to the show. Can they move past their histories of violence and grief to discover happiness in a world of music, new families, and road life?
Autorenporträt
Call me Mary O. Everyone does. I'm a late-blooming Southerner who finally set free my outgoing personality and haven't regretted it for a second. Originally from West Virginia, I made up stories for my own entertainment from an early age. I fantasized about places foreign to me, and warm, affectionate people. As the dutiful daughter I did what was expected of me, but with my head in the clouds. A college degree was gained with some stops and starts, tears and lots of laughter. Heart given, heart broken, heart healed. My life has been surrounded by music of all types, informing me, entertaining me. I've been around since the early days of rock and roll. I fell in love with shred guitar before there was a name for it, but when I heard Joe Satriani and Eric Johnson come out of the eighties and into the nineties I fell into a hole from which I didn't wish rescue. Music evolved while I was down there. I kept up somewhat through radio, but it's only been over the past five years that my real hard rock education has proceeded, spurred in part by dealing with tragedies, and tutored by Eddie Trunk's That Metal Show. Thanks to Eddie, Jim and Don! I call what I write "hard rock fiction" because it involves musicians who play hard rock and follows them in their everyday lives, whether that's on the road, onstage, offstage, heartbroken, or in love. I found my home in coastal South Carolina where I live, love, write, and rock with my husband and three big dogs.
