RIVERS: TATTOOS & HEARTBREAK IS NOW FREE!

https://books2read.com/u/bxy98o

Rivers

Look, I hear what they're saying. I'm the hottest singer and guitarist around, and everyone knows it.

The worst-kept secret in the industry is that I'm nothing but trouble. And for that, I'm on the edge of losing my contract with my agent and the record label.

When my agent comes up with the crazy idea of me dating some sunshine good girl to rehab my image, I consider it. The plan: woo Lila Potter. Take her around. Let her golden glow rub some of the black marks off my reputation. And in doing so, secure my contract and career.

It seems like a fool-proof plan.

Until I realize I'm falling in love with her.

Because falling in love was never part of the deal.

It will just lead to me breaking her heart.

Rivers: Tattoos and Heartbreak, the first in the Rock & Roll Nights series, features a damaged hero, a sunshine girl, a fake relationship, and a connection they never saw coming. This is the first in the Rivers and Lila duo, continued in Rivers: Guitars and Mistakes. Spice, angst, and heartbreak abounds in this HFN start to the series!

*originally published as Tattoos and Heartbreak of the Trouble Next Door series, this book now includes a new edit, new cover, and bonus chapters.

The truth no one tells you after heartbreak…
You don’t just lose them— you lose the version of you that loved them. And healing isn’t just about moving on… it’s about finding yourself again. Learning what you deserve. Letting go of what hurt you. And choosing peace… even when it’s unfamiliar. This version of you? She’s stronger.

The first time I experienced heartbreak, I cried every single day for 2 weeks straight. The same time next year, I remembered feeling sad but I didn’t know why. Your body remembers your pain even when you don’t realize. But time heals and it will go away eventually. Happy healing <3

For anyone dealing with heartbreak…
It’s so sad when you realized someone you gave everything to was playing the whole time. It makes it so hard to be genuine and open to the next person entering your life. Take your time getting to know someone. Understand who they really are before you get invested. You’re worth the wait.
