Description

A Single Mom, Rock Star Romance Camden I’ve been in love with my best friend since high school.My biggest regret? Walking away without telling her.I planned to. But then catastrophe struck, making us part ways without a word.She left for Boston with her fiancé, while I left for L.A. with my band–Raging Chaos.For the next five years, I lived and breathed music, trying to forget the beautiful girl who shattered my heart without even knowing it.Until I see her again...I walked away once, and I've learned my lesson.Layla is my forever, not another item in my pile of regrets.And she's about to find that out. Layla The moment I saw Camden on stage, something inside me came to life.His tragic song of unrequited love was a confession that had me questioning everything.Five years might’ve changed who we are—he’s a rock star and I’m a single mom—but my feelings for him are as strong as ever.His lyrics make falling in love seem easy. For him—maybe it is.Only I’ve learned the hard way that real life isn’t as simple as writing a love song. AUTHOR’S NOTE: Like real life, the characters are far from perfect, make morally gray decisions, and deal with subjects that may be sensitive for some readers. If you are looking for a safe romance, this series is not for you. Trigger warnings (which contain spoilers) can be found on my website.
