Encore by Candice Blake

It’s been six years since I’ve been home.
Adam Black left his hometown six years ago to pursue his music career. Now, as the lead singer and frontman of the band Kingdom 4, Adam has gained worldwide success—soaring to the top of the charts and selling out shows across the globe. But the rock & roll lifestyle is far from easy. Plagued by the pressures of fame and addiction, Adam is unhappy.

It took me six years to let you go.
Pacey Rivers is the youngest musician to ever play in the Symphony Orchestra. On his way home after a performance, Pacey is shocked to find Adam passed out in an alleyway. In Pacey’s eyes, Adam isn’t just the handsome and rugged rock God that everyone is swooning over. They were best friends in high school—almost inseparable, until that fateful day six years ago when Adam left.

Is six weeks enough for a second chance?
Adam is spending the holidays in his hometown before heading back to Los Angeles. Adam is straight and has never questioned his sexuality—but will he finally realize that his connection with Pacey is deeper than the ocean and thicker than blood? And it took Pacey six long years to finally get Adam out of his head—what’s stopping Adam from leaving again?

Encore is a stand-alone, angsty, slow-burn M/M romance with no cheating and a guaranteed HEA.
