Trusted Tempo by Gwen Parks

Sometimes love requires a little bit of trust.

Theo:

For the longest time I was the shadow.
I wasn’t my own person. First, I was my brother’s right-hand man. Then, I became my sister’s other half—not that I minded.
Eventually, I found my path and became a DJ. I’m all about taking charge of my destiny and never playing second fiddle. If only I knew what that meant. I still hadn’t found my true purpose. All that truly mattered was my family and music.
Until her.
She caught my eye immediately and arrested my heart.
Suddenly being a duo has never looked more appealing.
Rule number one of our dynamic duo was always be honest.
But was she ready to hear my truth?

Stella:

Identity is everything. Without it, there’s nothing.
And that’s exactly where I am now. Lost and left without an anchor. Everything as I knew it has vanished and left me untethered.
A thousand little white lies are nothing.
But one giant lie is everything.
I don’t know who to trust or where to go. The people I used to turn to, I can no longer confide in.
Then there’s Theo.
He’s all good times and charm. I have a feeling there’s more to this charming DJ than what he’s allowed me to see. He takes my mind off the betrayal in my life, and my once guarded heart surrenders its walls.
I’m left defenseless against his heartthrob appeal. Our rhythm is in sync and the realest thing I know.
But can I trust him with my heart, or should I have kept him out?
