Keeping a diary to chronicle his exploits since youth inspires Jory Longstone's music. He finds solace in managing his complicated life through the written word, which he never intended for anyone else to read.
Until one man did, and now that man controls Jory's life.
While his band's star is rising, Jory remains trapped and ashamed—closed off from emotional attachments for fear of discovery.
And then he meets Damian Foyle, manager of a family-owned cinema, a place where Jory loves to hide and relax. Damian, the antithesis of a rockstar, loves martial arts classes, tinkering with motor parts, and the simple life.
Damian's first meeting with Jory is just shy of a disaster, and yeah, the second one isn't all that great either.
Jory is a nuisance, devilishly attractive, temperamental, and a fantastic rock god in snug pants. It's all Damian can do not to burn up in the heat of the man's fiery personality. Reaching his heart, however, is an entirely different matter, and Damian will accept nothing less.

Their first meetings are anything but smooth; a mix of chaos and undeniable attraction creates a fiery chemistry that neither can ignore.
Jory's compelling allure and rockstar bravado challenge Damian's composure, but penetrating the man's emotional armor will require more than mere charm.
