When you’re lucky enough to have everything you’ve ever wanted, you might just lose out on what matters the most. Ambitious college student Isabella Rodriguez wants to be a journalist more than anything.

Unfortunately, those misogynistic jerks at her school newspaper refuse to sit up and take her seriously. Never in a million years would she have thought that writing about a metal band would be her foot in the door to achieving her dreams.

Of course, it helps when there’s a super sexy drummer in that band willing to give her the inside scoop—even if all they can ever be is friends. After getting signed to a record label and moving his band to San Francisco, Dave Noblar has finally made it—sort of.

Now that he’s here, things aren’t going exactly the way he’d hoped, and he’s not about to let himself be distracted by the beautiful, smart journalism student who’s writing about his band. Especially when his bandmate forbids him from becoming involved with her.

Besides, he learned his lesson about love five years ago, and he’s more determined than ever to close off his heart and keep his eyes on the prize. When Isabella is tasked with tagging along to cover the band’s first national tour, this is the big break both of them need.

But her internship stresses staying professional at all times, and their growing feelings for each other could jeopardize everything. So, they need to keep their distance.

Or maybe they’ll find their own rhythm. A Duet of Darkness and Dreams is a steamy, off-limits friends to lovers romance.

It’s a story about letting go of the past, chasing your dreams, and learning to trust your heart. This rockin’ 80s rockstar romance features two dreamers, who despite thinking they have to do everything on their own, just might be the light in each other’s darkness.
