Inversion

Every member of the metalcore band, Winter's Wrath, needs therapy.

In Balthazar 'Ballz' Bornstein's professional opinion, anyway.

After years as an army psychologist, the security guard has the training, but treating soldiers was much different from managing men under the spotlight. Still, he's made progress.

Except for with Connor Phelan.

Connor acts like a carefree jock, but his hidden pain causes a growing isolation from his bandmates. His lust for life, his playfulness, and his mischievous smile bring out the Dom in Balthazar, who struggles to keep his job and his desires separate.

A fight he can't win.

More so when competition shows up—Annette Paige, the wild, headstrong backup vocalist of another band.

When a key member's injuries force the two bands to work together, clashing egos, animosity, and passions jeopardize the entire European tour. The best way to keep the steady rhythm is to get the band members to behave professionally.

Maybe a few leashes would work, but the man Balthazar most wants to collar has already been caged by Annette.

One word could bring them together. Or tear them apart. A word none of them can ever say…

Mine.
