Fix Me

Cal Dorian hears the crack before he feels the break—the roar of a sold-out arena fading into the dull hum of a life he can’t keep faking.

Onstage, he’s the lead guitarist of Thick as Thieves, the biggest rock band on the planet. Offstage, he’s a tangle of bad choices, empty hotel rooms, and love stories that end in wreckage. He knows how to burn it all down. He’s already done it once—with the only girl who ever really knew him.

Years ago, Jenny Pope was the soft spot in his hard-edged world, the one person who saw past the swagger and the spotlight. He left her behind when fame came calling, made her mistakes and addictions the easy villain in a story he didn’t have the courage to finish.

Now Jen walks back into his life with clear eyes, steady hands, and a spine made of all the nights she got through on her own. She’s sober. She’s solid. And she’s the one holding him up when the world he built starts to fall apart.

Being near him again means standing in the glare of everything he was—the selfishness, the cruelty, the damage he never looked at too closely. It also means facing the parts of herself she’d rather keep buried: the lies, the relapses, the way they once fit together a little too well in the dark.

When the truth about their shared past finally claws its way out, Cal and Jen have to decide what gets to survive: the band, the image, the safety of old stories—or the messy, painful chance at something real between two people who broke each other first.
