Full Tilt

From USA Today bestselling author Emma Scott comes a poignant, angsty friends to lovers romance about love, loss and the moments of searing passion between. *** "I would love you forever if I only had the chance..." Kacey Dawson has always lived life on the edge – impulsively, sometimes recklessly. And now, as lead guitarist for a hot up-and-coming band, she is poised at the brink of fame and fortune. But behind the scenes, Kacey is torn between wanting to be a serious musician and the demons that lure her down the glittering – albeit alcohol-soaked – path of rock stardom. A wrecked concert in Las Vegas threatens to ruin her career entirely. She wakes up with a hangover from hell and no memory of the night before, or how she ended up on her limo driver’s couch... Jonah Fletcher is running out of time. He knows his situation is hopeless, and he's vowed to make the most of the handful of months he has left to him. His plans include seeing the opening of his glass installation at a prestigious art gallery – they do not include falling in love with a wild, tempestuous rock musician who winds up passed out on his couch. Jonah sees that Kacey is on a path to self-destruction. He lets her crash with him for a few days to dry out and get her head straight. But neither of them expected the deep connection they feel, or how that connection could grow so fast from friendship into something more. Something deep and pure and life-changing…something as fragile as glass, that they both know will shatter in the end – no matter how hard they try to hold on to it. A beautiful and heartbreaking contemporary romance story about what it means to love with your whole heart, to sacrifice, to experience terrible grief and soaring joy…and in the end, to smile through tears and know you wouldn’t have changed a thing.

Once bitten, twice shy ... The mantra I live by so no one can hurt me in the same way my parents did. I'm Tommy Schneider, the most feared player in the NHL with a last name to match my bad boy reputation. Only, I'm the better, stronger, faster version of my estranged dad. Everything in my life I control with expert precision-from the hits I land in fights to the tattoos covering my body. Nothing and no one can get the better of me. I'm impermeable, a wall of steel that's as cold as it is opaque. So when my trade to the New York Blades is met with controversy, it's fair to say I'm unbothered. The recently appointed General Manager expects a brutal enforcer, and that's exactly what he'll get. But what I didn't expect when I landed in Brooklyn? Jenna Miller. And the way she unceremoniously turned me down. I shouldn't let her rejection weave it's way under my skin, and I definitely shouldn't have punched her brother when he tried to defend Jenna's honor. Instead, I should heed my mantra and walk away from the girl who hates my guts and grates on me with her bratty smile and backtalking mouth. If I don't, I know someone will eventually get hurt. But each time I back off, I wind up standing outside her apartment door again. I'm in the fight of my life, with so much more at risk than just broken bones and bruises ... This time, it's my heart on the line.
