AxelLast year, my band, Grindstone, hit the stage at Rocktoberfest, our big break at last. But in the middle of that triumph, my love life crashed into disaster. I've been in love with Hugo Threadgold for years, but he was once my high school music teacher, so I figured he was off-limits. Then, in Black Rock, I discovered he was aware of me too, and for a moment I thought I'd get it all. I came clean about my feelings, but my heart cracked when Hugo turned and walked away. I'm not giving up, though. I'm ready to lose my straight-guy image for him, if only I can make him believe in us.HugoTen years ago, Axel and his best friend, Ed, were my most promising students. I taught them everything I could about music, and watched them struggle to become the musicians they are today. But boys become men, and last October in Nevada, Axel told me he'd developed romantic feelings for me. I was rattled. I'd never let myself look at him that way. Now that he's put the idea in my head, I can't get him out of my mind. The man he's become is someone strong and talented, determined and attractive. Someone I could fall for. But isn't it my duty to keep things professional and walk away from the man who tempts me as no one else ever has?Grindstone's Edge is a book in the multi-author Road to Rocktoberfest 2024 series. Each book can be read as a standalone, but why not read them all and see what antics our bands get into next? Hot rockstars and the men who love them, what more could you ask for. Kick back, load up your e-reader and enjoy the men of Rocktoberfest!
