Cake (Cake #1)

Jake McKallister was famous for more than just being a rockstar. When he was thirteen-years-old, he would survive a crime so brutal and so harrowing that his name would forever be linked to tragedy. And, although he had managed to put the horrors of his youth behind him in order to find success as a musician, the memories of his past still haunted him.

When spirited college student, Casey Caldwell, was paired at a friend’s wedding with brooding rockstar, Jake McKallister, she was prepared for the worst. It wasn’t just that Jake was a famous, gorgeous rockstar that freaked her out. It was that they had absolutely nothing in common. She was a bubbly talker. He was a reserved loner. His life was filled with music. She couldn’t even carry a tune. She lived a happy childhood. His was a well-publicized nightmare.

Yet, despite their differences, sparks flew. Casey was surprised to discover that the notoriously private rockstar was actually a charming, supercool guy. She was instantly smitten.

Jake never thought he had the capacity to fall in love, so he never bothered trying. Quick, impersonal romps were the extent of his love life. Then he met Casey and, unexpectedly, he wanted more. But Jake had secrets…ones that threatened to bury their budding relationship under layers of debris.
Would their love be strong enough to survive the weight of his tragic past?
