A tattooed rock star with secrets meets his musical equal — a sheltered English girl who's about to upend his careful wo

Description

Alfie Black has everything he needs to pass scrutiny as a rock star. He's a drop dead gorgeous specimen of a man. Rough around the edges and still flawless to look at. Alfie is a jaw dropping, pantie melting, tattooed bad boy. Add tall and athletically toned with a fabulous face, eyes and smile and it's easy to see he'd be going places. Ticking most of the boxes required as the lead singer in a band, the last part of the equation many not have mattered much. However, Alfie is an incredibly, talented singer and musician. Women want Alfie. Men want to be Alfie. So gifted, Alfie is given opportunities to progress both as an artiste, with his band Crakt Soundzz, but also share to his passion and pass his knowledge on to others at music college. Alfie's journey in life should be going in one direction, but his sole focus is on taking care of his responsibilities. Circumstances in the background dictate what he needs. And what he is willing to accept. This is something he isn't willing to compromise on. Focused and determined, the last thing Alfie needs is a distraction. What Alfie wants and what is happening in his life are poles apart, but he is determined to keep going no matter what. For now, it he thinks it's enough. That is, until he meets Lily, the English girl who arrives at college to study music in Miami. Lily is Alfie's equal in many ways, musically gifted, stunning and in a different league to any girl Alfie has ever known. She is focused and driven. Single minded about her one passion in life. Music. The only thing Lily has ever wanted in life is to play and play well. When Lily's journey crosses Alfie's life path, what ensues for the both of them is a complex ride of emotions and feelings. Neither of them, despite all of their combined attributes are equipped to deal with. Alfie is emotionally locked down, both from past experiences and his current situation. Lily is sexually naive and inexperienced. When their world's collide there are far reaching consequences for the both of them, which neither expected. How can Alfie and Lily be together? Alfie shares his thoughts, feelings and emotional conflict in his story.
