Rome and Cami
5 years before Jules and Augie, there was Rome and Cami.
Rome
As the lead singer and guitarist for a rising rock band, he never had to go looking for a good time. Then, a ray of sunshine appeared at one of his concerts and he found himself making the first move. As an heiress she’s way out of his league, but it won’t slow him down.
When danger begins to circle not only his sister, but Cami – his self-proclaimed future wife – will he be able to keep them both safe while also rising to stardom? Or could he lose it all.
Cami
Raised in the high society of the South, going to a dive bar was never something she would find herself doing. When she did, however, she found out why no one ever caught her eye at the boring society soirées. The man on stage was hotter than hot and had his eyes firmly on her.
As strange accidents begin happening at the resort, she’s determined to stand her ground. Things heat up in both her personal and professional lives and soon she’s fighting to keep a life she never thought she’d have. When trouble climbs out of the shadows, will she survive or become just another gossip article?
Each book can be read as a standalone story and are guaranteed HEA. Reading the series in order is best for character interaction, but not necessary for the books individually. No cliffhangers.

Excerpt:
“What brings you ladies out tonight?”
“You.” When Kate choked on air, Cami realized how that sounded. “I mean, the band. UTRM. I’m the General Manager at Magnolia Estate Resort and we’re having a Beach Bash next weekend. We were looking for a live band to perform and Kate, my event coordinator, suggested you. Um… UTRM, that is.” She couldn’t believe how flustered she was over this man, but what a beautiful man he was.
“Well, thank you, Kate,” Rome replied, finally glancing her way. She was a beauty in her own right, but something about Cami called to him on a totally different level. “Have you heard us before, or is this your first time?”
“I have,” Kate answered. “But she’s a virgin.”
“Kate?” Cami sputtered, her eyes widening as she looked at her.
“Sorry! Wrong um… I just meant-”
“I don’t see how that… not to say that… it wouldn’t be a problem if… Oh my God.” Cami clamped her hands over her mouth to stop the incoherent rambling that was spilling from her lips.
Rome couldn’t help but laugh at her reaction. It was so real and unfiltered, and if he wasn’t mistaken, out of character for her. The blush spreading over her cheeks highlighted the dusting of freckles hidden there, drawing his gaze. Every moment spent with her had him wanting to know her more. He wanted to break through the facade she portrayed to the world and know the woman underneath. It was a completely new experience for him and totally unexpected.
“She just meant this was your first time hearing us,” he explained through his laughter. “Where did your mind go, princess?”
Cami almost melted into a puddle then and there. Normally, when people called her a princess, it was meaning she was spoiled or brought up her upbringing, but coupled with his wink, it felt completely different. It was swoon worthy, and she was 99% positive he would catch her.
“I blame this,” Cami admitted looking at the empty glass before her.
“What’s your poison tonight?” Rome asked, loving that she didn’t deny her thoughts.
“Sex on the Beach,” Kate supplied, knowing Cami would never say the words.
“Oh, that’s good”, Rome cooed. “I always enjoy that. Will there be any of that at the Beach Bash?”
Her breath caught in her throat at his words. Was he flirting? Was his voice actually lower suddenly or was it just her? Were they still talking about drinks or? “The-the drink?” she squeaked. “There goes that mind again, princess,”
