Lincoln
I thought there was only one thing I needed to make me happy. I was so sure becoming a rock star would heal the dark corners inside me. But every time I walk onto the stage, with a roaring crowd screaming my name, all I can think about is the boy I left behind. All I want to do is rewind and make a different choice.
Jace
I thought I hated Lincoln when he ghosted me ten years ago and destroyed my heart. I thought I hated him when he wrote a chart-topping hit about our idyllic young love. But I’ve never hated him as much as I do right now, standing in front of me like he has every right to be in my world again. He’s not the rock god I thought he was…he’s still that same lost boy I used to love. Can I ever trust him with my heart again?
***Face the Music is the first book in the Replay series. Each book in the series will focus on a different band member getting a second chance at love. Each book can be read as a stand-alone. This book contains descriptions of self-harm, suicidal thoughts, and sexy times.
“I was lying back at your house,” Jace admits when he’s halfway through the second pint.
“Oh?” I raise my eyebrows and wait for his confession.
“You didn’t force me to kiss you. I’d wanted to kiss you for ages before that.”
“Yeah, that’s how I remember it too,” I agree with a smirk.
“Why are you so insufferable?” he asks with a glare that lacks any real heat.
“Because you find me charming but you’re trying really hard not to?”
“No, I don’t think that’s it,” Jace deadpans.
“We’ll have to keep thinking about it then,” I suggest. “I played my guitar today,” I segue clumsily.
“Don’t you play your guitar every day?”
“Not anymore. Only when I’m on stage now.”
“Why?”
“Because everything hurts. And when it doesn’t hurt, it feels too numb to bother with anything. I don’t feel good very often,” I admit. I’m not sure why I’m telling him all this; it’s not exactly a ringing endorsement for the ‘date me again’ campaign.
“I’m sorry, Linc.” Jace reaches across the table and puts his hand on mine. I turn my hand over so our palms connect, and I blink away tears at the perfection of his hand in mine.
I buy a few more rounds and we keep away from the heavy topics for a while. Instead, we reminisce about all the schemes we used to come up with to sneak around behind our parent’s backs. I’m sure we weren’t as clever as we thought.
“I’d better slow down with the drinks,” Jace says, smiling and shaking his head, his cheeks pink from the beer.
“Why’s that?” I ask with a smirk, taking a sip of my own drink without releasing his hand.
“I shouldn’t be around you drunk. My common sense is already compromised when you’re here. If I drink too much, I might do something stupid like fall back in love with you.”
“In that case, I’d better get you a refill,”
I’m an author of m/m and new adult romance. I have a strong passion for writing characters with a lot of heart and soul, and a bit of humor as well.

If this is as good as ‘Rescue Me’ it’s going to be amazing!
