He’s the biggest rockstar in the world. I’m just the guy who tunes his guitars. And two years ago, I walked away from the best night of my life. Finn Hale knows his place. At twenty-nine, the thick-bodied, tattooed Boston-Irish roadie is a career guitar tech, keeping his head down and his hands busy making sure the band Eclipse sounds perfect every night. He’s the ultimate caretaker—patient, protective, and built to handle the grueling reality of a worldwide arena tour. But keeping his head down is impossible when the man he’s teching for is Jax Blackwood. Jax is everything a frontman should be: a pale, ice-blue-eyed god of the stage, carrying enough deep-seated trauma and reckless bravado to burn down everything he touches. Two years ago in Portland, they shared one explosive, secret night that ended with Finn ghosting him to save his own heart. Now, they're trapped on the same tour bus. Forced proximity is pushing them both to the breaking point, and the tension between them is pulling tighter than a high E string. Jax is terrifyingly vulnerable, heavily reliant on Finn to stay grounded amidst an embezzling manager, unhinged stalker letters, and his own destructive demons. Finn demands honesty. Jax demands everything else. As the tour heats up, the lines between professional and intimately personal completely blur. Hiding their intense, high-heat connection in cramped bus bunks and VIP suites becomes a dangerous game. But loving a rockstar means living in the spotlight, and Jax’s demons are ready for an encore. Can Finn be the anchor Jax needs, or will the vicious reality of the music industry tear them apart for good? Rockstar & Roadie is a high-heat, explicit MM romance featuring forced proximity, intense hurt/comfort dynamics, and a guaranteed happily ever after.
