Synopsis:
His life consists of his best friend,
Jack Daniels, his favorite drug and women who give him what he wants
and leave. Rook Tyler lives for performing at night and wasting the
rest of his days washing away the pain from his childhood so he
doesn’t have to feel anything...ever. The only people he trusts are
his band mates from Shattered Souls and he wants to keep it that way.
His life was completely under control and simple until he heard the
voice of Maisy Madison filter through The Tavern speakers.
Growing up in the foster care system
with her two other band mates from Twisted Perfection, Maisy finds
herself doing pretty much anything to get her and her band noticed
but nothing seems to be working. One lucky night, Shattered Souls,
the most popular band in the country, decides to show up at their
little concert and luckily signs them on the spot and books them for
their tour but the arena venues and massive amount of fans isn’t
what has Maisy shaking in her heels. It’s the deep baritone voice
of Rook Tyler that haunted her dreams for years that has her
wondering if she can actually go through with the tour.
The force is almost too strong. He can
feel her everywhere he goes and no matter how much he tries to resist
her, he finds himself gravitating towards Maisy, wanting to hold her,
kiss her and fuck her. He knows he shouldn’t get involved. He
knows no matter what, he will end up hurting her but he can’t help
it, his soul is connected to hers and the pull is too strong for him
to resist.
Rook warned her time and time again but
she didn’t listen, she didn’t want to listen. She needed him and
she didn’t care that she knew deep down in her heart that their
relationship was going to end in disaster. She didn’t care that
their jealousies, stubbornness and baggage were getting in the way of
their relationship. She didn’t care that they constantly hurt each
other and that no matter what they did, their love was toxic.
Toxic, book one of The Addiction
Series, tells the story of Rook and Maisy’s relationship, how it
develops into an undeniable love and then crumbles apart every chance
it gets. Follow their twisted relationship as they fight off lies,
temptations, addictions, users and try to overcome the toxic love
they share.
Excerpt
Rook watched Cruz walk away and then
turned and smiled at Maisy. She didn’t think she could handle the
new Rook. She liked it better when she was considered a piece of mold
on a garden gnome’s ass to Rook, it was much easier to handle her
feelings. Now that he was being sweet, she didn’t know how to hide
her infatuation that he so blatantly pointed out a while ago.
“Did you have fun?”
“What?” Maisy said trying to think
about what the hell he was talking about because the only thing she
could focus on was the way his Adam’s apple bobbed up and down as
he swallowed. When did a damn’s Adam’s apple become sexy?
She loathed
herself.
He chuckled at her inability to focus.
“The photo shoot, how did it go?”
“Oh, good.” She felt herself
flush.
“Care to elaborate.”
“Not really.”
He nodded his head as he looked
around.
Damn this was awkward.
“Maisy, come on.” Pete said while
waving her toward a room in the back. Kaid and Willow were already
walking away.
“Ok.” She said while getting off
her chair and walking past Rook. He grabbed her arm and turned her
around so quickly she lost her balance and had to catch herself on
his chest. She stood up quickly and brushed off her skirt which she
had no clue why, it just seemed like the right thing to do at the
moment.
“Go out with me tonight.”
“Excuse me?” If it was lady like,
Maisy would have cleaned her ear out with her finger, cupped her ear
and tilted her head toward Rook so she could hear him better, but she
refrained herself.
“We have an off night and I want to
take you out.”
“I don’t think that’s a good
idea. The media…”
“Won’t be involved.” Rook
finished for her. “I don’t plan on going very far. Say yes.”
His soulful blue eyes pleaded with her and she knew there was no way
in hell she would be able to deny him tonight.
