Jessica Walker is on the run from her ex-boyfriend. Again.

A youthful flirtation with a police officer led to a year of mental and physical torment.

For seven months, she lived free of his abuse, and then he found her, and things went dark very fast. The only possible hiding place is with her sister's dear friend Diego Aguilar. But Diego isn't a regular guy. He's a world-famous heavy metal guitarist. A beautifully talented man who has been Jess's Rock and Roll fantasy for years. But after her past with her ex, the last place she wants to be is around any man.

Even Diego.

Diego Aguilar doesn't trust most people save the guys in his band, Metalsome, and his adopted family. But when he first sees Jess, he feels compelled to protect her. He knows from experience the pain of being brutalized, and he'll do anything to keep her safe — even if that means letting her into his heart.
