Getting rescued in a dark alley should’ve been the end of the story. Instead, it was the beginning of everything I never saw coming.

Silas
Music is my escape. My control. The one thing in my life that still makes sense.
After everything—the shooting, the guilt, the mistakes I can’t outrun—I keep my world tight. Controlled. Safe.
Then I meet Cash.
He’s loud where I’m quiet. Bright where I’m… not.
A walking contradiction in glitter and chaos who hands money to a guy who tried to rob him and smiles like the world hasn’t broken him.
He shouldn’t get under my skin.
Shouldn’t make me feel things I’ve spent months trying to bury.
But every look, every touch, every kiss pulls me closer to something I don’t know how to handle.
Because wanting him?
That means risking everything I’ve barely managed to hold together.
And I don’t know if I can survive falling apart again.

Cash
I’ve spent my whole life choosing joy. Fighting for it.
Because I know what it’s like to have nothing. No safety. No love. No light.
Then Silas crashes into my world like a storm I can’t look away from.
He’s guarded. Sharp-edged. Carrying pain so deep it bleeds through everything he does.
But underneath it?
He’s good. So damn good it hurts to see how little he believes it.
And I want him.
Not just for one night. Not just for the heat between us.
I want all of him.
Even the broken parts he tries to hide.
But loving Silas means walking straight into his darkness,
And hoping I don’t lose myself trying to light him up.

Light Me Up is book 4 of the Rock U series and is a steamy, emotional MM romance featuring a guarded guitarist with survivor’s guilt, a sunshine-soft survivor who refuses to dim, opposites-attract tension, bi awakening, found family, healing from trauma, and a love that burns bright enough to chase away the dark.

Buy now and fall for the boy who hides in the shadows—and the one determined to light him up anyway.
