Book Title: Changing the Key
Series: A Detrimental Rock Star Romance Book 1
By: April Michelle
A white knight on a… tour bus?
Anna is no delicate damsel. She’s been let down more times than she can count but always comes back stronger.
So when a spontaneous act of kindness lands her a temporary job with the famous rock band, Detrimental, there’s only one hardship: Jaxon, the notoriously heartless lead singer. He’s the kind of devilishly handsome distraction she’s vowed to avoid.
Until she gets to know the man behind the reputation.
And the temptation is too much to resist.
Jaxon has the best job in the world. However, making music and touring with his best friends comes with responsibilities. And he shoulders a lot of them. The worst part? Maintaining the bad boy image his publicist demands. Yet he can’t risk the fallout of not following orders.
Then Anna crashes into his life.
And she’s exactly what he’s been looking for: sweet, beautiful, and available for six weeks.
Their tour fling of sexy fun with no strings quickly develops into more than either of them could have ever imagined. But falling in love comes with complications.
Anna’s dreams await her back home.
Jaxon must continue the tour.
And both have to decide how much they are willing to sacrifice for the one they love.
“It’s no excuse for my behavior.” He exhaled, turned to face me, and loosely took one of my hands. The contact sent a flood of warmth up my arm to fill my chest. “I owe you a huge apology. I was in an epically shitty mood last night and took it out on you. Sometimes it feels like everyone I meet knows who I am and wants something from me. Or they try to use one of my friends to get to me. I assumed you were doing the same thing, and I’m sorry for misjudging you.”
The apology was so unexpected that I didn’t immediately react. This Jaxon was completely different from the guy I’d first met last night, who had said some truly awful things to me. I wasn’t one to hold a grudge, so I gave him the benefit of the doubt. Plus, a sexy, famous rock star, was humbly asking for my forgiveness for being a jerk. Seriously, who could turn that down? Add in the intensely hypnotic eyes and I couldn’t have denied him anything at that moment if I tried.
“I accept your apology.”
“Thank you.” His shoulders relaxed as he released a long sigh.
“So you guys are here for the music festival?”
“Yes,” Jaxon said. “We’re the final act tomorrow night.
“Where do you go next?”
“We leave after the show, driving straight through to Maine to start the next leg of the tour. We’ll spend six weeks covering the northeastern US. You need to get back to Chicago, right?”
I nodded, my earlier exhaustion, combined with the adrenaline crash, settled over me, so I rested my head against the window. Bits of conversation filtered past the food coma I was currently experiencing. Someone at the table spoke of being in Chicago in mid-June and needing some extra help. Several text messages were exchanged, and somebody mentioned a junk bunk, whatever that was. It wasn’t until they got quiet and were looking at me that I realized they had asked me a question.
“What?” I asked, blinking back into consciousness.
Jaxon had an amused smile on his face. “How do you feel about a six-week-long scenic trip to Chicago?”
