One week to give my heart away. One week to get my heart broken. One week, to change my life forever. Music journalist Dylan Sanders’ childhood was filled with famous musicians aiming for the stars. She grew up on a tour bus following her brother and his band Renegade across the world. Leading a life filled with rock and roll, and broken promises. Ten years later, she’s heading down a different path, and left more than just River Soul, the hot as sin guitar player who broke her heart behind. Waking up naked in her London apartment, sharing her bed with Axton Taylor, the drummer of the world-famous band, Seconds to Midnight, she interviewed the night before, love takes an unexpected turn. Dylan has to make a choice. Will she follow her heart, having promised herself never to take that rock and roll ride again? As Dylan’s dark past catches up with her, two men will fight for her heart, and will play dirty to get her.

I slide my hand over my breast and pinch the hard peak as he presses me roughly against the door. “That’s it, I know you like it rough, my little dirty slut,” he drawls, his hard dick stabbing against my ass.
