God help the woman I take home tonight.
Band manager James Brandon never expected to find the elusive satisfaction he’d been chasing, let alone stumble upon it in some sleezy Hollywood meat market. Yet the girl’s quiet pride spoke to him from across the bar, louder than a shout. Troubled, hungry and homeless, she’d placed her trust in him. But after losing the grip on his dark desires that one fateful night, James has spent the last four years atoning for letting her down.
This time I’ll finally crack him.
Rock band drummer Lita Regina has had enough of James’s guilt. She wants the explosive man she met that night in Hollywood. The man who held nothing back and took no prisoners—save Lita. And she’ll stop at nothing to revive him. Even if it means throwing herself into peril at every turn, just to get a reaction from her stoic manager. But when Lita takes her quest one step too far, James disappears from her life, thinking his absence will keep her safe.
Now it’s up to Lita to bring James back…and ignite an inferno of passion in the process.

MICHELLE’S REVIEW
This book was sinfully dirty and I loved it. James and Lita will set your Kindle on fire!!

There is a trigger warning in the beginning so beware of that- some nonconsensual play. Only Tessa Bailey can take something so taboo and make it so hot.
I loved this largely because I read the first book in the MADE IN JERSEY series and was dying to know more about James and Lita. There was such an obvious history there but I needed to know what went wrong.
One thing I love about this book is Lita is very much the hero to me here. She saves James. She makes him be ok with who he is. She has to sacrifice so much to get through to him but in that process- she also finds herself. I love that in a book where I’m pretty much horny the whole time- there’s still a really solid plot line. I tell you- Tessa is a genius.
We don’t give out stars but even if we did, stars wouldn’t do this book justice. I would have to rate it 5 thigh clenches!!
It was the perfect novella and I’m fully prepared for more arousal at the hands of Tessa Bailey.

Thank you for your interest in my books! I’m Tessa and I live in the crazy, loud, overcrowded borough of Brooklyn, New York. I love it here. This city is a constant source of inspiration, which is why I’ve decided to set my most recent books in the Line of Duty Series here.
I moved to New York when I was eighteen, the day after I graduated high school. Threw my suitcase in the back of a Chevrolet Cavalier and drove across the country to find my adventure. I’m still finding it, little by little.
Thank you for being a part of it.
