About
ABANDON:
From New York Times and USA Today bestselling
author Rachel Van Dyken comes a new story in her Seaside Pictures
series…
It’s not every day you're slapped on stage by two different women
you've been dating for the last year.
I know what you're thinking. What sort of ballsy woman gets on
stage and slaps a rockstar? Does nobody have self-control anymore? It may have
been the talk of the Grammy's.
Oh, yeah, forgot to mention that. I, Ty Cuban, was taken down by
two psychotic women in front of the entire world. Lucky for us the audience
thought it was part of the breakup song my band and I had just finished
performing. I was thirty-three, hardly ready to settle down.
Except now it's getting forced on me. Seaside, Oregon. My band
mates were more than happy to settle down, dig their roots into the sand, and
start popping out kids. Meanwhile I was still enjoying life.
Until now. Until my forced hiatus teaching freaking guitar
lessons at the local studio for the next two months. Part of my punishment, do
something for the community while I think deep thoughts about all my life
choices.
Sixty days of hell.
It doesn't help that the other volunteer is a past flame that
literally looks at me as if I've sold my soul to the devil. She has the voice
of an angel and looks to kill—I would know, because she looks ready to kill me
every second of every day. I broke her heart when we were on tour together a
decade ago.
I'm ready to put the past behind us. She's ready to run me over
with her car then stand on top of it and strum her guitar with glee.
Sixty days. I can do anything for sixty days. Including making
the sexy Von Abigail fall for me all over again. This time for good.
Damn, maybe there’s something in the water.
**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new
readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus
book in the author’s series. We hope you'll enjoy each one as much as we do.**

Excerpt:
“You ready?” I gripped my drumsticks tightly in my
right hand as the screaming from the crowd pierced my ears, causing an
onslaught of adrenaline to pulse beneath my skin.
Drew, one of the leading frontmen for our band,
Adrenaline, rolled his eyes and shot me a middle finger. Then he straight-up
tugged his leather pants down below his hips to show off his legendary V.
We get it, bro, you’ve got an eight-pack where
there’s usually only six.
With a flourish, I pulled off my simple white tee and
shrugged. “What? Two can play that game.”
“Seriously, guys?” Will gave me a shove. “They already
gave us shit last time about you two comparing dicks. It’s the Grammys, not the
Super Bowl. We have to be clothed.”
I
eyed him up and down. “Question. Was it your plan to go out there looking like
the dad of the group, or was it just a happy accident?” He was in skinny jeans
and a simple vintage tee and wore his typical thick black glasses that somehow
still got him action from his wife, actress Angelica Greene. It was confusing
when Will got action and I didn’t.
Not that I wasn’t getting any.
I
inwardly smirked. I was dating one of our background dancers, while at the same
time hooking up with one of Zane’s—both of which were performing with us
tonight. Hey, it wasn’t like I planned for them to ever meet! And before you
get your panties in a twist and start calling me a whore while chanting things
like “I pray your dick
falls off,” let me
explain.
I
have a solid reason for dating both women.
The truth bomb of the century?
I
don’t actually have a heart. You see, a long time ago in a land where my
innocence thrived—you know, before the mistakes with the drugs, alcohol, and
the time I carried a live chicken on stage and kissed it—I was in love.
Not the kind where you say it just because you want to
have sex with someone so badly, you’re willing to sell your soul to the devil.
Twice.
Real, honest to God love.
Her current status? Breaker of souls and spawn of
Satan.
