Hayley

I’ve been tasked with ‘babysitting’ a DIRTY ROCKER.

Pierce Fox, heart-throb drummer for British rock gods, ChiMera.

He’s hot, undeniable, and a walking disaster.

Pierce has a vulnerability, a soft side that reels me in.

A man full of darkness but shot through with light.

He sweeps me away in a riptide of emotions. 

And he might even help me recover what I never had.

Pierce

As my stylist, Hayley has seen my worst excesses.

Now her job is to stop me from drinking myself to death.

She’s sweet but sassy… so effing beautiful.

Could she be my new addiction? 

I can’t get enough of her.

And, when I find out her deepest secret, I crave her even more.

Trouble is, she’s not the only one with secrets…

Dark waters of my past are rising.

If I’m not careful, the tsunami will drown us both.

A steamy new standalone romance is full of tender impulse and aching hunger. Author SC Daiko brings readers another emotion-packed novel filled with sexiness, danger, and love. 

Another enjoyable read from this author. We really enjoyed the characters and the story itself as it was fun and flirty and it also had a serious theme to it with issues such as struggling with guilt and battling alcohol  & substance abuse.

We loved Hayley from the moment we met her she was kind and funny and independent and she was the type of person that everyone just loves she also is dealing with some personal issues of her own that have her shying away from any kind of a personal relationship until that dirty rocker bad boy Pierce Fox has her wishing things were different. 

We loved that cocky bad boy rocker Pierce Fox to even though he initially was a bit of a douche he redeemed himself and then some throughout the book. We loved the fact that although Pierce's past was a troubling one he never made excuses for the choices he made and the things he had done in the past he just owned up to them and moved forward creating a better life for himself. We loved how talented he was and through his process of recovery, he was discovering he had some hidden talents as well.

We loved Pierce and Hayley as a couple they had tons of chemistry and they had developed an amazing friendship before becoming lovers which really was quite endearing. As the story unfolds both slowly start to heal and as they start dealing with the secrets of their past things really started heating up and even discovered things that would yet again change their lives once again.

Overall we really loved the story which surprised me as I am not much of a Rock Star romance kind of girl I ended up loving it. The story was heartfelt and emotional and had you laughing out loud at times and smirking at others. This was a really sweet romance full of lots of messy bits some good and others not so good but, through all the trials two people found their soul mate and they're happily ever after.

I trod water in the deep end of the pool, enjoying the sight of Hayley as she made her way across the decking, her tits almost bouncing out of the top of her tankini. 

I’d give anything to cup them and suck them and fucking bite them.

Whoa, mate. Not gonna happen. She’s not the kinda girl who’d be up for a one-night stand and you’re not the kinda bloke who’d offer more than that…

My dick had stiffened and I dove down into the depths, where I quickly adjusted myself. A ripple in the water and I opened my eyes. A pint-sized body was swimming toward me, but the chlorine had started stinging, so I shot upward to resurface and shake the droplets from my long hair. Usually tied back except when I was on stage, it hung annoyingly heavy and wet down the sides of my face.

Yankee Girl popped up like a cork from a bottle. She swam to the shallow end and I joined her. “How are you feeling?” she asked.

“Like I’ve been run over by a steamroller, to be honest. And the fucking meds have turned me into a zombie.” 

I made a face at her like I was one of the walking dead, and she laughed. “You gotta let things take their course. The nurse explained that we need to reduce the pills slowly until you can manage without.” 

“Thought I was gonna die on the plane home.” I grimaced. “I’ve never experienced pain like that. I hope I never have to again.”

She shot me a concerned look. “You’re doing great. Let’s just take this one day at a time.”

“Can’t wait to get back to normal,” I huffed.

Except, what would my new normal be? Sober and clean would be a whole new ball game and I didn’t know if I could hack it.

“Axel and Phoenix are looking forward to hanging out with you, now you’re so much better.” Hayley’s mouth curved into a warm smile.

I stuck out my bottom lip. “Yeah. Whatever.”

Having mates ’round without enjoying booze was about as appealing as an audience with the Pope. 

Golden sparks flashed in Yankee Girl’s amber irises. “They care about you.”

“I know,” I said, but still I wallowed in self-pity. “It will be like partying during prohibition.”

“You don’t need alcohol to have a good time,” she responded. 

“Wine, women, and song, the adage go,” I shrugged. “At least I can still fuck and make music.” 

Her heart-shaped face flushed. “Don’t you have any hobbies or play any sports?”

“I’m a musician. Playing music and rehearsing is my life. I exercise in the gym. Never had time for anything else.” I paused, shot her a look. “How about you?”
