What’s a keyboard player to do when his band’s world tour is finally over? Go home and watch other people make music for a change. What Brandon Delucca doesn’t count on is the utter vision of beauty singing and playing rhythm guitar at the club he stumbles into. Or the attraction so immediate and so intense between them he can’t seem to let it go. Neither he nor the lady are in a position to be acting on it. But what most fans don’t know about the Lightning Bolts’ reclusive man of mystery is that more than anything, he’s a world-class rule breaker.
KNIGHT OF SWORDS, the third book in the Can’t Help It series, is a modern-day deconstruction of the classical Guinevere-Lancelot-Arthur arc. Read on for more!
Vee King’s marriage to her guitarist husband might be falling apart, but their band is finally attracting label attention. However, the rep from a small-time indie label isn’t the only one showing interest in the band. It’s impossible for Vee’s fangirl heart not to beat triple-time when Brandon Delucca from the impossibly popular Lightning Bolts becomes a regular at their gigs.
Brandon, home after years on tour, has two things in mind: stop thinking about his ex and the way she betrayed him, and finally use the gap between tours as a reason to finish the home remodel he started ages ago. Flirting shamelessly with a married woman isn’t on his checklist, but he can’t keep himself from rushing to her rescue when Vee finds herself in need. All he wants is for Vee to be happy.
Right or wrong, Vee and Brandon fall desperately in love. It’s messy, inconvenient, terrifying…and inevitably, the decisions they make have consequences. Everything about both their lives needs to be uprooted in order to be replanted. Whether or not they’re both ready and willing to take that leap of faith becomes the question.
