What’s better than having your rock idol, Dagger Drummond, be the mentor for your band? Having your band selected as one of the performing acts at the iconic music festival Rocktoberfest.

My band is about to step onto our first professional stage. We’ve more than earned our spot in the lineup. We have the talent, and Dagger groomed our stage swagger. All that's left is to wow the socks off of the audience.

It should be easy, except I have major anxiety issues and it’s frowned upon when lead singers collapse on stage from panic attacks. Another detail adding to my anxiety level: I recently fell in love with a man. Imagine that, a straight guy falling for a dude. It’s the stuff stories are made of – and yet it’s my life.

Rocktoberfest was supposed to be fun, but our trip turned sour when my guy went AWOL. Now my concentration is shot and my heart is heavy from thinking his absence might have more to do with him not wanting to be with me than missing the bus. One way or another, I have to give the performance of my career – regardless of what is going on inside my head or my heart.

Strung Tight is the first book in the multi-author Road to Rocktoberfest series. Each book can be listened to as a stand-alone, but why not stay and enjoy the whole show? If you like scorching tales of hot rock stars and the men who love them, then you’ll adore the untamed musicians of Rocktoberfest!
