Gus

"A compelling, emotional story about finding hope after loss. Once again, Kim Holden packs all the feels!" -Vilma Iris Blog

From the international bestselling author of Bright Side, comes a soul repairing story about the intense grief that follows unimaginable loss and the intense hope and love that heals it.

Book 2 of 3 in the Bright Side Series

The journey that began in Bright Side, continues ...

Grief fresh and emotions raw, Gus Hawthorne is forced to return to life long before he's ready or willing. His up-and-coming band, Rook, is set to commence a postponed European tour, their debut album is blowing up worldwide, and all he wants to do is hide.

Though hiding may not be an option, numbing the pain via self-destruction is. Drink, drugs, and sex become a coping mechanism, debauchery a crutch.

With his bandmates and management at their wits' end, the decision is made to bring in a personal assistant to keep Gus in line. Though reluctant to take the job, Scout MacKenzie is desperate for an escape from her own life in New York City. She's solitary, headstrong, organized, efficient, but most importantly unfazed by the glamour of fame, making her the perfect candidate.

Personalities clash immediately.

Gus sees a rigid, cold babysitter he nicknames Impatient.

Scout sees an out of control, stereotypical rock star she calls a jacka$$.

Neither sees the others' baggage-until proximity forces eyes to open, gained perspective forces hearts to thaw, and an unlikely friendship hesitantly threatens to emerge.

Let the healing begin.

Note from the author: Due to strong language and sexual content, this book is recommended for mature audiences.
