READ WHAT OTHERS HAVE SAID ABOUT
FURY
“A very entertaining book. I could not put it down. The charac-
ters will hook you right in, and you can imagine yourself touring with the band, through Europe. I would recommend this to anyone that's looking for a fun entertaining adventure! Would love
to see more from these authors.”
—Emily Horrell ( Amazon)
“In the mood for snarky, self-sufficient women? Hot rockers and
hot sex? A little mystery and world traveling? Welcome to the
perfect combination of all of these. This is the second book I
have read by these two co-authors, and they don't disappoint.”
—Sarah Griffin ( Amazon)
“Very well written and thought out by two new writers. It has a
touch of mystery, fun, passion, and adventure. The story tends to pull you in and make you part of it. Will definitely read more by these writers.”
—Anonymous ( Barnes & Noble)
“Sex, Drugs & Rock n' Roll. What else could you ask for? This tale was not too steamy and turned out to be a pretty quick and
enjoyable read.”
—Michelle ( Goodreads)

CHAPTER ONE
Phillip flicked a toothpick from one side of his mouth to the
other. His tongue felt like it was made of cotton, and he downed some water in an attempt to feel somewhat normal. He fidgeted
by the car as he watched people shuffling in and out of the en-
trance of St. Mary’s Hospital. Giving up cigarettes was a bitch, but completely worth the effort. The smoke set off his girlfriend Steph’s debilitating migraines, a fact she’d discovered when her chain-smoking roommate Cheyenne moved out. Quitting hadn’t
been quite as painful as he’d feared, but at the moment, his nervous oral fixation demanded appeasement. His meticulous plans
were falling into place, and adrenaline coursed through his veins with such momentum that he was sure he was going to have
some sort of cardiac event. At least he was in the right location for it. That’ll be my luck. I’ll pull out the ring and say “will you marry me, Stephanie?” Then I keel over dead on top of her and crush her with my corpse.
He ran a hand through his long, perfectly mussed blonde
hair, reminding himself he needed to shave his head. His band
mate, Nathan, had flipped him shit about losing an online “Hot-
test Hair” poll to a sparkly vampire. Nathan Clayton, he could
smack in the gob—it certainly wouldn’t affect his ability to play the keyboards. But Steph had chimed in, and he was powerless
against Stephanie’s taunts. She could cut him to the quick with a 1

disapproving glance. He smirked as he imagined her reaction if
he surprised her with a high and tight buzz cut, but the image
brought him back to his present situation, and his smirked melted into a worried frown. Rubbing a hand wearily across his stubble, he tried to shake away all self-doubt. He’d played Madison
Square Fucking Gardens, for the love of Christ. He jumped up
and down, shook out his shoulders, paced, and ran through his
mantras—all tricks for getting “in the zone” before a show. This was way bigger than Madison Square Gardens. He couldn’t remember a time when he’d been so tense, and the slow build of
anticipation had reached a fever pitch. If he had to rearrange his proposal because Steph unknowingly screwed up his timeline,
he’d collapse from exhaustion.
He nervously jingled his key ring, his hand clasping onto
the one to his new home. Nine months ago, before the band
kicked off their American tour, they’d been sequestered during a drug smuggling scandal involving their former manager. With
nothing to do but think about Stephanie, whose father’s maga-
zine broke the story (and whose appearance in his life rocked
him to his core), he’d hunted down the owner and purchased
their cottage. The one they’d sought refuge in when they were stranded by a flat tire. That amazing night was a turning point in their chaotic relationship. He’d known that even if she’d never
spoken to him again, he wanted the abandoned home that had
been their erotic sanctuary in the storm.
He‘d spared no expense, having it lovingly restored. The
carpenters and landscapers had finally finished a couple of
months ago, but he’d kept the purchase to himself, only confid-
ing in the guys in the band. The bassist, Scot, was an obnoxious newlywed and couldn’t keep his mouth shut like the other members of Fury. Scot gabbed to his wife, Cheyenne. Thankfully,
Cheyenne could keep her mouth shut, since she was Stephanie’s best friend. Cheyenne assured him that Steph had gushed about
the cottage
