Life as rock stars couldn’t be better for Devil’s Lair. Wealth, success, love all make for perfect lives. That is until fate steps in, once again. There are twists and turns that you’ll never see coming. Grab some tissues because you're going to need them.

With my dad’s help, my love became a talented bass player. He was destined to find fame. I wanted that for him. And then it happened. The opportunity to tour with one of the hottest rock stars around. Thirteen weeks wasn’t long to be apart. Not in the grand scheme of things. Except I had no idea who I was without him. He got his wish - and I lost myself. Maybe we weren’t so destined after all.

They say time heals all wounds. And maybe they’re right. But what about wounds no one sees? The kind that open again and again? The kind that have you feeling like you swallowed glass? Those are the wounds I carry. Years of heartbreak have created layer after layer of scar tissue over my whimpering heart. Everywhere I go, I play the part of rock star, shameless with my cocky attitude and salacious smirks. I deserve an award for how well I can fake being happy. But then everything changes in my life - again.

I'm Vaughn Lair. You might have heard of my rock-star cousin, Jack. I'm on the radio for entirely different reasons. My voice may not cause women to swoon through music and lyrics...it's the content of my syndicated radio show that has them desperate to talk to me. I'm a sex therapist who doles out great advice. My doctorate gives me license to hold nothing back. My listeners have crowned me the King of Romance. I change relationships for the better. I'm the sexpert. Except when it comes to my own damn love life. Then one call on the air turns the tables on me.

She's my, gorgeous, older, feisty agent...and I have no business wanting her. Who could have predicted you’d walk into my life? Ruined me in the best and worst of ways...changed me forever? But how can I compete with the frivolous gifts and exotic destinations he dangles in your face? I shouldn’t even have the balls to try. All I can give you are words, notes, and melodies. Like the songs recorded on this album, some of which were created because of you. You already have my heart. Does he have yours?

Hollywood’s hottest actor meets his dream woman: A free spirit who has no idea who he is. After personal heartbreak and professional setbacks, Landon Price is running on empty. If he doesn’t take a break from the public eye soon, he’ll risk becoming another cautionary tale in a town that’s full of them. So in between film projects, Landon asks his agent to clear his schedule and then he simply...vanishes. Landon begins to recharge. And in the process of finding himself, he meets a beautiful, feisty local who challenges everything he thinks he knows.

I’ve always been known as the hopeless romantic...the nice guy...the sweetheart. Everything in my life supported this persona. My students loved my easy personality. My colleagues admired the way I handled myself in the classroom. But something was always missing. Like so many relationships before it, my current attempt at love felt like a dead end. When she gave me an ultimatum, I couldn’t promise to give her what she wanted. So, she ended it.

Helping people is what I do best. I’ve made a career around it and dedicated my adult life to it. So, when my two best friends decided to start a family but weren’t able to conceive, it made total sense for me to become their surrogate. Once I pleaded my case, and they finally agreed, I moved from New Jersey to Florida, excited for a much-needed change. But no one could’ve predicted crossing paths with the love of my life, the one who’d left years earlier, the one man I never got over.
