He was the substitute bass player for the band; I was the lead guitar player's girlfriend's best friend. In that weird sort of social circle thing where Venn diagrams get laid over different groups, Tyler and I were bound to be in the crossover once in a while.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe looked so hot. Short brown hair. A few days of beard. Bright green eyes that were more guarded than a Russian mobster's. He was sleeved, the colorful tattoos a tapestry, but every time I met him I couldn't quite see them. We only saw each other in dark concert halls, or tonight, under the stars.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe gave Sam a rare smile and a hearty handshake, forearm muscles bulging. I wondered what it would be like to have those hands on me. My fingers tracing those tats. Listening to him tell me the story of his body while he forgave mine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eForgave it for failing me.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI shook my head fast to banish the thoughts that drew me into places so dark they became black holes of the soul. The gravity of trauma had a way of sucking all the good into it, and tonight I wasn't going to let that happen. The opposite, in fact.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTonight I was going to sleep with Tyler.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe didn't know it yet, but that was okay. He would. Soon.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e* * *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRandom on Tour: Los Angeles is the 7th book in the New York Times bestselling Random series, the ongoing story of the up-and-coming rock band, Random Acts of Crazy. When the band's bass player, Joe Ross, gets injured in an unfortunate sex act that gains nationwide coverage, it's tatted-up Tyler (aka \"Frown\") to the rescue for their first big concert. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere's only one problem: the morning of his flight to L.A. he wakes up to find someone's stolen all his money, his bass, his ID, and his pride. When he shows up at Maggie's doorstep to ask her to drive him from their hometown of St. Louis all the way to L.A., these two damaged people learn quickly that being independent doesn't always mean being free...\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWarning: This book deals with the very difficult topic of sexual assault and rape, and I've taken great care to address this with the sensitivity and respect it deserves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNone of the scenes in the book contain sexual violence, though the characters do tell their stories of past sexual violence. None of those descriptions is graphic or gratuitous. This book is about hope and healing, but the characters do have past trauma that they discuss.","brand":"Julia Kent","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47102461706480,"sku":"2940151114158","price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940151114158_p0.jpg?v=1769891651","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940151114158","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
