About the Author
Author’s Note
This book, Dirty Like Us (Dirty #0.5), is a prequel novella for the Dirty series—a rockstar romance series about the members of the rock band Dirty, and the women and men who love them.
As a prequel, this is a cliffhanger book—Dirty Like Us is Zane and Maggie’s story, but it’s only a slice of their story. These two have a complicated relationship, and there is so much more to their story than could possibly fit into a novella. This is not an easy love, and it’s bound to go so very wrong before it goes right… All of which means that Zane and Maggie’s story won’t be continued and resolved until later in the series, when they get their own full-length novel.
In the meantime, Dirty Like Us gives us a taste of what’s going on between these two.
About the reading order of the series:
Each novel in the Dirty series focuses on the love story of a different couple in the larger world of the series. I consider the books in the series interconnected standalones, meaning you could pick and choose which ones you read, in any order, but you will definitely get the most out of the series, the individual books and the relationships within if you read the books consecutively.
This book, however, is an exception to the above. Because it’s a prequel novella, the events in this book happen in time before the events of Dirty Like Me (Dirty #1), but it features different lead characters, and you do not need to read it first.
If I had to choose, I would actually recommend starting with Dirty Like Me (Dirty #1). It is probably the best entry point to the series, as it gives a broader introduction to the world of the series and the various characters.
Whichever book you choose to read first, I hope you’ll continue on with the rest of the books in the Dirty series as they are released. Along the way, it will be a hot, wild and sometimes crazy ride brimming with passion, angst and humor as we dig into the love lives of the characters who rock the Dirty universe. I hope you’ll stick with us until the breathtaking end.
From beautiful Vancouver,
Jaine

The red carpet was worn beneath our feet. The altar was a single step, also carpeted in red, on which we stood, along with the officiant.
The officiant wore a black leather motorcycle jacket, a faded Steppenwolf T-shirt, ratty jeans and biker boots. A black leather bible decorated with silver studs lay open on his hands.
I wore a pink dress.
The room was small,
