Playboy drummer, Cole Tanner, is hit with a life-altering bombshell-he's a father to a three-year-old girl, left in his custody after her mother's tragic death.

Thrust into parenthood, Cole is forced to confront the secrets and nightmares he'd kept hidden for years.

The last thing Cole needs is his new, no-nonsense bodyguard, Ava Matthews, telling him what to do, though Ava seems hell-bent on keeping Cole in line during his band's tour.

Ava won't fall for his wicked smile or seductive charm. And when sparks fly between them, Cole discovers she has custody battles of her own. If they succumb to the unrelenting blaze burning between them, she could lose not only her career but also her son.

When the demands of touring take their toll on Cole and security threats escalate, how far will he and Ava go to protect the people they care about? Or will Cole's tortured past destroy the lives of everyone he loves yet again?

Brace yourself for another emotional installment in The Flintlocks Series.

TORTURED TONES is full of single dad, bodyguard, forbidden romance, and steamy sizzle where everything is at stake... and may cause the odd tear.
