In her darkest moment, he came willing to burn the world down for her.
During one night of weakness, Adder Rowe gave in to some sweet words, and has a lot of complications in her life to show for it. Now pregnant, she is eking by. But even before that, her ties to CypherSphere Records and Of Ashes To Eternity had left a bad taste in her mouth and an uneasy feeling in her heart.
Renley Titan isn’t anyone’s hero. A chance meeting with his Tether, when she reaches out to his former band, leaves him in a dicey position. Play the game and keep winning the hearts of millions, or break the rules and make the world a better place for everyone by blowing it all up. The volatile keyboardist could go either way.
But when someone comes out of the woodwork looking for a story only Adder can tell, how far will they go to get it?
Please be advised by the content warning inside the book.
It’s recommended that you read the series in order beginning with RAIDEN.
“Yeah, I want to be safe and by his side.” I sigh. “Don’t know if it makes me a basket case, but the co-dependency portion of our relationship has begun.”
Crux lips flatten. “You need a guard.”
“What’s with the guards?” I ask.
“When your mate can’t be with you, at least you have protection,” he clarifies. “They can soothe and care for you, so you aren’t alone.”
Becca snorts. “They can irritate the shit out of you. They can insist they shower with you, so you’re protected.”
I try to hide my smile when Crux licks his lips. I get the impression that he’s got it bad for her. It’s Tobin who responds to her outburst. “You don’t need to be alone.”
She growls in frustration. “You two are tools.” Her head whips my way, “You still want to go down?”
Crux smirks. “That’s literally what she said.”
I nod and stand, but a woozy feeling takes over my sluggish body. It takes a moment to get my head together and nod. Becca, seeing how unsteady I am, addresses the twins. “One of you needs to make yourself useful. If she passes out on the way down to the living room, Renley will fuck you both in the ass with a chair leg.”
Tobin nods. “Probably the whole chair.”
He picks me up in a bridal lift, carrying me down the hall. When we get to the top of the stairs, everyone looks up our way.
Renley is the first to speak. “Why are you carrying Adder?”
Becca sighs. “She was lightheaded but wants to be with you.”
Tobin makes it down the stairs, but Renley’s on his feet waiting there to grab me. His eyes skim across my features before ghosting across my throat and heating. He carries us to a recliner closest to Jazzie, who holds out a bowl of popcorn. I cringe at the smell and shake my head, placing a hand over my stomach.
