The Balefire Series Book 5
by Tam Derudder Jackson
Genre: Contemporary Rockstar Romance
Garrett
I’ve made a few mistakes over the last decade, but the one I regret most was letting Olivia Carter go. When I see her again, the past crashes over me, reminding me of everything I ever wanted and gave up when I let our dreams separate us.
Managing Balefire into the world’s biggest rock band came at a personal cost—walking away from my only love. When fate brings her back into my life, I’m determined not to screw up again. After Balefire hires her studio to produce their next music video, I have a second chance to rewrite our song—if I can convince her I’m a changed man.
Olivia
Ten years ago, Garrett Phillips chose to go with “his boys” and leave me in the dust of a ratty old tour bus. Now I’m working my ass off to make a name for myself as a Hollywood music video director. Unfortunately, my fledgling studio is bleeding money, and my only hope of saving it is to make a video with the biggest rock band on the planet. Too bad that means working with the man who tore my heart out of my chest when he chose his rock ’n’ roll dream over me.
He says he’s grown up. He says we can make things work. But can I truly trust that this time he will stay for me?

Reaching out, he pried my hand from my body, tugging it toward him. It was only as he massaged it that I noticed how cramped I was. “Making this video with you is a gift.”
My brows furrowed even as the tension ebbed from my hand at his gentle touch.
“It gives a us a chance to remember what we had.” His attention strayed to our joined hands. “We have a chance to reconnect, maybe think about what we could have now.”
2.
“Garrett.” I blew out a breath. “I admit our chemistry is as off the charts now as when we first met. The thing is, like our chemistry, our dreams haven’t changed either. You still want to manage the band. I still want to build this studio.”
“Those dreams aren’t mutually exclusive, and you know it.”
My attention returned to the screen. “I thought you said you were going to help me with this.”
3.
All I could think about was how close those fingers were to my thigh and how much I’d loved it when he’d used them to play rhythms over my bare skin. With my attention not where it belonged, no doubt I would have driven right past the diner if not for th timely placement of a red light.
The diner was quiet with only a few occupied tables. We found one beside the windows looking out onto the street and perused our menus.
“What are you gonna have?” we said simultaneously.
“Waffles.” Again at the same time.
Our eyes met and held and smiles broke over our faces.
4.
From the second I heard his voice on the phone the day we set this project in motion, Garrett Phillips was dangerous. This moment proved exactly how dangerous. Another forkful of stupidly good chocolate waffle appeared in front of my mouth, and helpless to deny him, I accepted it, sealing my fate.
“You know what this is, Olivia.” His voice was low, commanding.
“It’s never going to work,” I countered.
“You don’t know that. And you can’t find out if you don’t take a chance.” His gaze flicked to my lips and back to my eyes.
5.
A valet stood outside my driver’s side window, waiting for me to exit the car. Gripping the steering wheel tight, I closed my eyes, my body and mind in a tug-o-war over my next move.
Garrett kissed my jaw again and let his pinky ghost over my center, and that was it. I unbuckled my seatbelt and when he sat up to unbuckle his, I reached into the back seat for my bag. Once again, he clasped my hand in his as he led me into the hotel—and back to the past—or possibly the future.
An avid fan of rock music, Tam never misses a chance to see a live show, especially if it’s Shinedown, one of her favorite bands. Her love of rock music inspired her contemporary rock star Balefire Series, a sexy fun ride following the lives and loves of the members of a fictional mega-band. Readers of this series consistently give the books five-star reviews.
Tam earned her BA in English from Montana State University and her M.Ed. in literacy from Lesley University. After a short teaching stint in Bath, England, she settled in the wilds of Wyoming where she taught adolescents all about the Celts and a bit about writing before she stepped out of the classroom to pursue her writing career full time.
When she’s not writing, you can find her working her way through her mountainous TBR piles, alpine skiing, or traveling to some new place on her ever-expanding bucket list.

This book sounds like a great read! The tension between Olivia and Garrett is palpable just in the synopsis, and I love a good second-chance romance. Can you tell us more about how you developed the characters and their story?
