Strings - Nadine Court was a hot mess. After crashing and burning in spectacular fashion during her debut tour with her band Court’n Jacks, Nadine had gone to rehab. Now she was ready to try again and hopefully, this time, they might actually finish the tour without ending up in hospital and on the front page of every country music website in the world.

Sticks - A chance meeting between Vanessa Court and Carson Giles had them losing themselves in the physical pleasure of being with someone who didn’t expect more. A ‘friends with benefits’ relationship was what they both needed to blow off steam and reduce the stress in their lives. It was fun. It was secret. And best of all…there were no strings attached. Symphony - The last thing Maeve needed in her life was drama that came in the shape of a six-foot, grumpy musician with control issues. Unfortunately, she needed the job. It was just too bad that six-foot, grumpy musicians were her catnip. So what if it had been a long time since she’d had any adult cuddling…she could keep her hands, and lips, and tongue, to herself, couldn’t she?

The vacuum that Sita felt when she had to take the test of fire; no matter that her husband had vanquished the mightiest, but that test, a moment of truth, threw light on that glaring, missing bit.
