When Jade, a member of Drake’s band, inserts herself into his life, Logan never expects to fall for her. He’s too broken, too damaged.

When Jade’s band, Breaking the Hunger, hits it big, she vows to go back to her hometown not only to reconnect with her little sister, but also to show her stepfather that she’s not worthless like he said.

I loved Logan's story...my heart broke for him, even though he could frustrate me to no end! He had been dealt a crappy hand...he had the girl of his dreams only to have that life crumble right before his eyes. He didn't know where he went wrong, what Drake had over him other than being a Rock Star. Instead of trying to move on, he covers his pain with alcohol and countless women hoping to numb the pain. In the end, he only feels worse...this isn't who he really is but he just can't seem to shake Chloe from his mind.
But then Jade comes to try and help him put the pieces back together. They had always been friends but he had never seen past that. Now he is noticing her as the kind, beautiful girl she is instead of the hard-as-nails rocker chick she tries to portray to the rest of the world. Jade has had her fair share of hard lessons, coming from a broken home, running away when she was old enough from the abuse she was put through at the hands of her step-father. Together Jade and Logan face their past and must decide if the future can be their HEA like Drake and Chloe or they are destined to walk the tortured path alone.

Please Chose 1 Excerpt
I raised an eyebrow. “Why are you so determined
to make sure that Jade and I end up together?”
“Because I want you both to be happy, and after all of this sorted out, I think you two could be really happy with each other. You both care a lot about each other. I’ve never seen Jade act the way she did when Drake called her. She was really upset. And you’ve been Mopey McMoperpants since you came home. It’s obvious that you’re both miserable without one another.”
“Do you really think that we’d be happy together? Honestly, I’m not so sure. I don’t exactly fit in with the rest of her world.”
“Why do you think that?”
“She’s a rock star, Chloe, and I’m just…I’m not into that scene. I don’t like the same things you guys do. I don’t look like any of the other guys she hangs out with. I’m not pierced or tattooed. I’m not…I don’t know what the fuck I’m trying to say here.”
Chloe started to say something, but Drake cut her off, “Look, Logan, I’ve known Jade for a long time. I’ve watched her get hit on by tons of guys, and she’s never paid attention to any of them. She didn’t care that they were part of our scene. Truthfully, most of the guys we hang out with are womanizing assholes.”
“True story,” Chloe cut in, giving Drake a dirty look.
“Hey, I haven’t been that way in a long time. Don’t glare at me like that. Anyway, my point is, just because she lives a certain way and has a certain profession doesn’t mean that she’s going to want a certain type of guy. She obviously likes you, so just go with it.”
“He’s right. Don’t doubt yourself because you two have different lives. You’re a good-looking guy, Logan. You don’t need tattoos or piercings for girls to notice you. Jade obviously likes you just the way you are.”
“I feel like I should pull the car over, so we can all hug. This is getting awkward,” Drake muttered.
Chloe laughed. “Don’t be jealous, Drake. I think you’re a goodlooking guy, too.”
He rolled his eyes. “Thanks. I feel much more secure about our marriage now that you’ve admitted you’re attracted to me.
