Across the Miles (The Not So Bad Boys of Rock #1)

Sebastian Miles was twenty-three years old and living a charmed life. Loving family, beautiful girlfriend, and lead singer of the rock band, Paradox. Their debut album shot to number one on the charts, and they had just come off a worldwide tour, performing in venues filled to capacity. Then, one night, a tragedy rocked his world in a whole new way, turning him into someone he no longer recognized. Now, two years later, and on the other side of his own private hell, he learns to stop taking everything and everyone for granted. Yet, he is still alone. Then, one day he meets her, and suddenly, his darkened world is once again filled with hope. Brooke Caldwell is a twenty-four-year-old prodigy in the culinary world. After a lifetime filled with heartache, she decides to pursue the opportunity of a lifetime by interviewing for a world famous chef in Los Angeles. While visiting the city, she is reminded how cold and calculated the world can be. Until she meets him, and he shows her a world filled with the love and support that she never knew growing up. Two wounded souls. Two hearts that continue to beat, in spite of all the damage that has been done. What happens when their damaged hearts collide? And, could they possibly be the half that finally makes the other whole?About the AuthorRhonda James has dreamed of this moment for more than thirty years. She wrote her first novella at the age of fifteen, but never published it, instead setting it aside for safe keeping. She has written two novels since then that haven’t been submitted for publishing. Across the Miles was her first work that she felt compelled to share with the rest of the book loving world. While her first two novels were adult romance, this is her first attempt at reaching out to the New Adult genre. Rhonda lives in Dexter, Michigan, with Dan, her husband of twenty-two years, and her two adult children, Taylor and David. They share their home with dog, Baily, two cats named Molly and Walter, a rabbit named Charlie, a crested gecko named Izzy, and a yard full of chickens. When she’s not writing or reading, you will find her in the kitchen, where she loves to prepare homemade soups, marinara sauce, and meatballs, just to name a few. Her love of bacon is unnatural, and her obsession with technology borders on the insane. She is a natural-born hugger, and if you meet her you will most likely be the latest recipient of a bone crushing hug (don’t worry, no bones are actually crushed during this process).
