The Piece That Breaks

The second book in the bestselling Offstage contemporary romance series, features a heart-pounding second chance romance between a tattooed rock star seeking redemption and a single mother determined to rebuild her life, where love has the power to heal their scars or break their hearts.

The greatest love songs are about second chances… Logan Ellis is desperately trying to escape the mistakes of her past while starting a new life with her three-year-old daughter, Violet. After going through rehab, maintaining sobriety, and proving to her parents that she’s a different person than she once was, she’s finally standing on her own two feet, and she’s not going to let anything get in the way of that. Danny Fox has a dark history of his own. Although he is always surrounded by his bandmates of fans, he feels perpetually alone. Searching for a purpose other than his rising fame as the guitarist for his band, A Quiet Peril, he craves someone who sees him as more than the broken and guarded bad boy. Danny is everything Logan should ignore. But when new beginnings start with a new home across the street from the tattooed rock star who likes to practice half-naked on his front porch, she finds herself being pulled into a world she thought she’d outrun long ago. No matter the cost, Danny is determined to make Logan his. But when their guards come down and they find solace in one another, they discover more about their pasts, which could inevitably break their worlds apart.
