Beautiful Deceit’s playboy drummer, Brett Donovan, has been waiting a long time to get his hands on Bri Vorossi. Forced to play concert after concert with her half-naked body twirling above him, he’s more than ready to hit the sheets the second their restrictive U.

S. tour contract ends and the European tour kicks off.

With both parties allergic to long-term relationships, their on-tour hook-ups seem like the perfect pressure release valve. Until Brett opens his mouth after too many drinks and hints at the secret he swore to take to his grave.

The secret that’s been killing him slower than the alcohol he consumes to numb the pain. When Bri offers to help, despite her own distaste for commitment, she struggles to keep her emotions at bay.

Spooked by the feel of a relationship and the darkness that surrounds Brett, Bri brings their trysts to an end. Angry at Bri and the world around him, Brett goes off the rails, pushing away everyone who cares about him.

Recognizing his outbursts as an outlet for his pain, Bri gets pulled back in and becomes determined to help him heal. But as it turns out, trying to relieve Brett of whatever plagues him may ultimately kill Bri, and when her life is on the line, it’s up to Brett to save them both.

Can he be trusted to do the right thing? Or will he succumb to the darkness of the burdens he bears?. .
