Publisher Marketing: ***This book contains graphic language, explicit sex, and situations that some delicate readers may have trouble with. It is not intended to be read by anyone under the age of 18.*** Cruz Edwards is the talented drummer of Bayou Stix, the most famous rock band in the country. Behind his drum set, he's a god. Playing is his escape from his tormented past. He's a deeply tortured man and the scars of his conception and parentage run deep, so deep his friends worry that eventually he'll sink into the abyss of his own making. Tifanie Jeffries- Bellaforte is a fiercely strong woman. Her upbringing is the polar opposite of Cruz's. She's never wanted for anything and comes from one of the most influential families in Louisiana history. Her privileged upbringing smothered her and she's worked harder than anyone to prove that she is capable of anything she sets her mind to. She is living proof that character and hard work are more important than a family name and wealth. She's shunned her life of luxury and supports herself as a brilliant paramedic. Other than being behind his drums, Cruz is used to hiding from the world and only allows his beloved momma and trusted group of friends a front row seat to his true self. Tifanie is used to getting what she wants, not because she feels entitled, but because she's willing to work for it. What happens when a strong woman who refuses to give up meets a man who's only known despair? What happens when the walls you've built around yourself are pulled down one by one? What happens when the biggest challenge of your life is overcoming yourself? Sometimes the things that prove you're strong come from allowing yourself to surrender. Contributor Bio:  Turner, Skye Elisabeth Reynolds-Underwood is a nurse, wife, and mother. She is from Louisiana and enjoys writing poetry and short stories in her spare time. Contributor Bio:  Ayasha, Kari J. W. Snootz has been writing since elementary school, never learning to print as a child, and having to learn cursive writing inspired me to write a lot as a youth. Writing my first novella at only 10, and staying in the 100 page realm for a long time, finally creating more elaborate stories was possible. Growing up all over the Midwest and traveling extensively you will always find some truth in all the stories I write. I feel the best stories should always include some parts of yourself, even if it is just in your characters or places they visit. Chicago has always been home, and the windy city certainly lends itself to the indoor activity of writing in the winter. In the warmer months you can find me with my family all of us out enjoying the beach along with the great experiences and culture the city offers. I love to write in a variety of different genres and enjoy reading a lot of different story types as well. I also love to hear from and interact with the fans and other authors so always feel free to say hi and share your thoughts. "My motto is, if you don't like the truth then don't make it the truth!"
