Dare to Rock
Release Date: 8/4/2015
Blurb:
Avery Dare lives a quiet life in Miami as an online
fashion/makeup video blogger. She has good friends, a close, large family and
if her love life is lacking, she likes it that way. But when she receives an
invitation to one of her ex's concerts along with an invitation to meet him
back stage, she decides to take the risk... and comes face to face with the
reality of his rock star lifestyle - the press, the crowds, and the half-naked
groupies.
At eighteen, Grey Kingston left everything he knew and loved
behind to seek fame and fortune as a rock star, and he found it as the lead
guitarist and singer for the band, Tangled Royal. Fans adore him, women throw
themselves at him, and he can afford everything he couldn't growing up. Yet at
the height of his career, he's ready to walk away and return home to a simpler
life... and the woman he left behind, if he can convince her to give him
another chance.
Except moving on isn't as easy as Grey would like. When Avery
is threatened by a stalker, it becomes evident Grey's fans not only don't want
him to retire, they don't want Avery in his life either. And Avery isn't sure
she wants the pressures that are part of Grey's life... but she doesn't want to
lose him again, either. Can their recently renewed love survive the fallout?

Excerpt:
Sweat poured off Grey Kingston’s body, and his heart beat a
too-rapid rhythm, the high and adrenaline rush from his performance still
pulsing through his veins as he walked into the lounge backstage. He pulled off
his soaked shirt and tossed it onto the floor, grateful for the stocked room
and waiting pile of towels. He grabbed one and dried his face and hair,
deliberately trying to slow his breathing.
The sound of Tangled Royal fans stomping their feet and
demanding an encore echoed through the walls, but the band had performed their
final set. Even as his pulse still soared.
He glanced toward the door. “Did she pick up the ticket?”
Grey asked Simon Colson, their manager, who was busy texting on his phone.
“What? Who?” Simon, ever the well-dressed Brit, shoved his
phone into his trouser pocket. No jeans for him. “Good show,” he said to Grey
and the rest of the band, ignoring Grey’s question.
Lola Corbin, their lead singer and Grey’s best friend, was
still bouncing in her heels, not yet coming down from their shared high either.
“We did rock it,” she said, tossing her dark hair over her shoulder.
Milo Davis, their bassist, grunted something and fell into a
chair in the corner. Grey narrowed his gaze. Milo barely had the energy for a
full concert these days, and that worried him.
But right now Grey had bigger concerns and turned to Simon.
“I asked you if Avery Dare picked up the VIP tickets I told you to leave at the
box office.”
Simon shrugged. “I couldn’t tell you.”
Grey scowled at his manager’s I don’t give a shit tone. More
and more lately, Simon’s lack of consideration about what the band members
wanted grated on Grey’s nerves. Lola might be considering using him for her
solo career, but anything Grey did going forward wouldn’t be with the man.
At least he’d indicated he had left the tickets. He’d be out
of a job if he screwed with Grey on this. “Fucking find out.”
“What’s so special about this piece of ass?” Simon barely
got the words out because Grey grabbed him by his collared shirt and pinned him
up against the wall.
“Talk about her like that again and you’re done.”
“Whoa.” Lola put her petite body between them, pushing Grey
away from their manager. “Everyone breathe,” she muttered. “You. Go take a walk
and calm down before your company shows up,” she ordered Grey.
He stormed off, missing whatever lecture she gave to Simon
next.
Though the man had done his job well, helping maneuver
Tangled Royal to the elusive top of the charts, he cared about the bottom line
and not much else. Especially not the fact that Tangled Royal was more than a
band, people with real feelings, issues, and lives. No wonder Simon didn’t
believe how serious both Grey and Lola were about changing their futures.
Danny Bills, their drummer, already had a wife and two
daughters who lived in L.A. He was ready for home time, and everyone knew it.
Milo was another story. If he didn’t stop the drugs, he wouldn’t have a future.
As for Grey, he hoped for more than the travel and fame that
had been so important to him way back when. He hoped for her.
His eyes flickered to the door. No sign of Avery. He tipped
his head back, wondering if she’d come backstage or ignore the invitation … and
him. His stomach gripped painfully at the thought of not seeing her again. She
was the one person who not only understood the loner musician he’d been as a
teen but who’d grounded him when he’d threatened to spiral. With her soft
voice, that thick mane of dark hair, and those lavender-like eyes, she’d
burrowed someplace deep inside him. Still, she hadn’t been enough to hold him,
not when fame, fortune, and the need to be something more lived within him.
But it was Avery whose face he saw in the nameless women
he’d fucked over the years. Avery whose belief in him kept him going when times
were hard. Funny how that worked. He wondered if she’d thought of him over the
years and if she was as hyped up about possibly seeing him again now.

About the Dare to Love Series
Dare to Love (Dare to Love #1) – FREE!!!
Blurb:
New York Times Bestselling Author Carly Phillips turns up
the heat in her newest sexy contemporary romance series, and introduces you to
the Dare family… siblings shaped by a father’s secrets and betrayal.
Since finding out his father had another family on the side,
Ian Dare swore to be the upstanding, responsible man his cheating parent had
never been. When it comes to his relatives, he gives his all but in
relationships he offers the bare minimum. But one glimpse of sensual Riley
Taylor arouses his dominant and protective instincts and Ian is entranced. He
will do anything to possess her … and does. But any future with Riley must
include him extending an olive branch to the half-brother who is a constant
reminder of the pain he’d rather forget.
Independent and always in control, Riley Taylor makes no
apologies for choosing men carefully. Relationships have never been a priority
and she believes herself hardened to domineering men – until she meets
charismatic Ian Dare. He manages to turn a simple kiss into an all out assault
on her senses and when he takes control in the bedroom, she’s stunned to
discover she likes it. As their affair heats up, they soon realize they
complete each other in ways neither imagined. But Riley’s past is closer than
she cares to remember, and her struggles with Ian’s dominance might just cost
her everything.
