Dedicated (Rhythm of Love, #1)

Our greatest hit is a love song I wrote for my bandmate And he has no idea Messy haired, soulful eyed, off kilter lyricist Les Graves holds tight to the hedonist s credo of consumption in every avenue of life He has trouble staying still, trouble staying sober, trouble turning down a good time but put a pen in his hand, and he ll set a page on fire.Music was Evan Porter s ticket out of the backwater mud puddle he was born in, the passion keeping him warm as he busked on street corners, fueling him through a dead end bartending job Every chord, every song, every ounce of sweat has been devoted to making Porter Graves a success He s the level head, the quiet maestro, the seatbelt that keeps Les from flying too far out of control And he s getting pretty tired of playing savior.Their chemistry onstage is electric, but offstage it s another story.Angst, snark, and nuclear levels of unresolved sexual tension combust in this tale of two rockers, a handful of secrets, a bombed album, and a publicity nightmare thrown in a remote cabin with one shot at redemption Can Evan and Les find harmony or will they and their music career go down in flames Dedicated is a 92k standalone bisexual friends to lovers romance that also plays on the fake relationship trope, contains a cockblocking greenhouse, really poor decisions involving social media, and a borderline over the top HEA
