Feudes And Interludes Cover

Road to Rocktoberfest 2024

From the award-winning author of Hurricane Reese, Summer of Hush, and You Can Do Magic comes a new rock star romance series inspired by legendary rock ‘n’ roll love affairs. Feuds and Interludes is a rivals-to-lovers, hurt/comfort love story complete with adorable septuagenarian lovebirds and beloved characters from Merrill’s previous rock-inspired series.

Boone Collins and Shane Butler are two of rock music’s brightest stars today. Their grandfathers founded a powerhouse rock supergroup that ruled the airwaves in the late 1970s, and the grandsons grew up in their shadows to become frontmen of their own successful bands. The epic rivalry between Boone and Shane is notorious, and it’s about to blow up.

When Shane’s grandfather Bruce inducts his deceased bandmate into the Rock Music Hall of Fame, he admits to the world that he wrote the band’s biggest hit about his best friend’s widow—Boone’s grandmother Vera Jean. The two want to rekindle their relationship, and their grandsons are determined to keep them apart. Only, working together for a common goal reveals surprising similarities between the rock stars as well as a chemistry they cannot ignore. Shane sees behind Boone’s glittery facade to the secrets he hides from his bandmates, and Boone is there to pick up the pieces when Shane’s professional world implodes. Together, they plot a musical collaboration to celebrate their grandfathers’ accomplishments instead of fighting—a star-studded tribute at the storied Rocktoberfest event in the Nevada desert—but will being in the spotlight prove to be too much for their fledgling romance to handle?

Feuds and Interludes is part of the multi-author Road to Rocktoberfest 2024 series. Each book can be read as a standalone, but why not read them all and see what antics our bands get into next? Hot rockstars and the men who love them, what more could you ask for. Kick back, load up your kindle, and enjoy the men of Rocktoberfest!

Exclusive Excerpt:

He seemed small as he stood there taking shallow breaths. It reminded me of when we were kids, thrown together only because our grandparents knew each other, not because we chose to be playmates. He would follow me and my friends around, laughing at our jokes even when my friends told him to get lost. He was a persistent little fucker even back then.

“Ouch,” he said, and he started to back up, but I reached for his arm. He flinched, like I was going to hurt him.

“Boone, hey,” I said, jumping to my feet. I reached for his arms again, but then thought better of it. I shouldn’t touch him without permission…again. Even after what he’d said earlier. “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have, I’m—”

He smiled, and I forgot that I shouldn’t be talking to him like this, so close to him. This time the smile wasn’t that fake shit he did for everyone else. This one reminded me of our chat in my van, which was the first time we’d really talked…maybe ever. And dammit, it was that interaction that cemented my obsession with this guy. Who was he if he wasn’t the asshole I’d always thought?

“I told you, Shane, I want you to.”

“Why? I mean, why me? Why now?”

He shrugged one shoulder and lowered his chin, looking up at me with those fucking deep blue eyes, and my heart raced like I’d just had five shots of espresso.

“Maybe if you touch me, it’ll mean you don’t hate me.”

His perfect voice cracked when he said that, and he followed it up with a pained expression.

He was so perfect. All of him. And I’d been awful to him because I couldn’t stand that he was so perfect. Why, though? Why had I held on to these feelings for so long? Why hadn’t I just reached out and touched him before?

“Shane?” His nervous laugh jarred me from my internal battle. “Do you want…me?”

Of course I did, that’s why I’d been such an asshole. Didn’t he see that? Did he really think I hated him?

If I touched him, though—

“Goddammit, Collins,” I whispered. I grabbed his biceps and pulled him close, probably a little too forcefully, but any second my resolve was going to snap like a rubber band and the sting when it hit was going to fucking suck. I knew this was going to hurt, and I did it anyway.
