Trouble-that's what her sister calls him. But she can't resist, not even when his past threatens her world.
Nineteen-year-old never-been-kissed keyboardist Paisley Kim has gotten good at hiding things, including the panic attacks she experiences before she steps on stage with her high-profile band, The Painted Daisies.
To her bandmates, she's still the baby, the one who needs protecting. But to troubled bad boy Jonas Riccoli she's the hope for a future he never thought possible, and he's much more than a boy she befriends at the studio. But their long-awaited reunion and the ensuing sparks are destroyed when Paisley's sister is found murdered.
When signs point to Jonas's past catching up with him, the heartbroken Paisley can't forgive him, leaving her no choice but to walk away from her first love.
But he's not giving up without a second chance. So when Paisley braves her fears to bait a killer, Jonas is at her side. He'll keep her safe even if it means his own destruction.
Author's Note: Troubled bad boy, anxiety-ridden musician, first love, new adult, romantic suspense.
