Texas Muses Series by CeaJae McBride

Booker moved to Abilene to give his daughter a better life. A better life than he’d been able to offer when he worked security/roadie for one of the biggest names in heavy metal. Their lives in Abilene were nearly perfect until someone started stalking his co-worker/best friend/object of his dirty mind. He’s determined to keep Maggie safe even as he feels more and more for her... moreBooker moved to Abilene to give his daughter a better life. A better life than he’d been able to offer when he worked security/roadie for one of the biggest names in heavy metal. Their lives in Abilene were nearly perfect until someone started stalking his co-worker/best friend/object of his dirty mind. He’s determined to keep Maggie safe even as he feels more and more for her. The biggest problem with his feelings changing is that their boss doesn’t allow employees to date at risk of termination. Maggie’s a hard working single mother that refuses to dwell on the dark side of life. When strange deliveries start showing up she just does what she does best and rolls with it. She has more important things on her mind. Like her daughter. And Booker. Booker’s been in town and part of her life for two years and she’s had him firmly in the friendzone the entire time. But something’s changing. Every day she wants a little more of what Booker has to offer. Too bad their boss won’t let employees date…not that he even has to know what’s going on… Is their friendship worth the risk? Are their mutual careers worth taking a chance? less

It all started with a false accusation and arrest. Then there was the bet. Winter has been desperately seeking a family since her own fell apart when she was a teenager. The closest thing she has to family is the crew she's part of, the crew that takes care of heavy metal band Hatchet's Nest while they're on the road. She loves her friends but she wants more. Paul doesn't want an old lady or a happily ever after... moreIt all started with a false accusation and arrest. Then there was the bet. Winter has been desperately seeking a family since her own fell apart when she was a teenager. The closest thing she has to family is the crew she's part of, the crew that takes care of heavy metal band Hatchet's Nest while they're on the road. She loves her friends but she wants more. Paul doesn't want an old lady or a happily ever after. He's perfectly happy hooking up with groupies from time to time and doesn't want, nor need, a woman around all the time. After everything he's lived through the thought of an old lady makes his skin crawl. Just give him his guitar and let him get up on stage with his band. No long term relationships necessary. When he gets her arrested for something she didn't do he finds himself desperate to get her forgiveness. Terms of the bet? One good date, start to finish and she'll forgive him and be his date to a mutual friends wedding. He's sure he can get her forgiveness, she's sure she can stay mad as long as she wants to. Oh, and her secret weapon? She never loses a bet and she isn't planning on losing this one. What starts as an attempt to gain forgiveness becomes so much more to the man that never wanted more. less
