Drug-addicted washed up rockstar? Check

Beautiful, struggling woman with severe mommy issues? Check

A match made in heaven or hell? Still undecided…

I’m a shadow of the man I once was. After losing both my wife and my son to my demons, I have only one thing left: my band, Riot.

After the band moves to Las Vegas, I’m shipped off to a tiny, hole-in-the-wall town in the middle of nowhere. I can’t be trusted in sin city, so our manager forces me into a hotel by myself where I can’t get into trouble.

Little does he know, I don’t have to go looking for trouble—it always finds me.

But instead of trouble in the form of my usual drug habit, it comes in the form of a gorgeous, voluptuous, dark-haired beauty I can’t resist. She and her daughter are thrust into my life, for better or worse, and if anything is going to save me at this point, it’s the two of them.

But my new woman has her own demons, and I’m a painful reminder of them.

The only way we’ll ever be able to make it work is if we both confront our issues head on…

But are we willing to tear down our own walls and build something new together? Or will the pain in our past continue to write our future?

There’s one thing I know for sure: Love may end up being the drug that kills me. And if it is, I refuse to go down without giving it a damn good shot.

Because of You is a steamy rockstar, single mom, forced proximity romance. It is the second book in the Part of me series and can be listened to as a standalone.
