Bleeding Denial

He said he didn't want her. He said it wasn't his problem. He was wrong.J.D. Warren, the volatile frontman of August Bleeding, lives by one rule: no attachments. Women are a convenience, and Cassie Paxton is just his favorite repeat escape-a groupie he claims on stage and discards in the dressing room. But when Cassie shows up pregnant, J.D.'s carefully controlled world detonates. He tries to buy her off, scream her away, pretend she doesn't matter. Then the truths he's ignored start cutting through his denial.Cassie isn't the desperate groupie he painted her as. She has a life, secrets, and strength he never bothered to see, and those revelations crack open everything he thought he knew. When a medical crisis forces J.D. into the role of her reluctant caretaker, he finds himself trapped in the last place he wants to be: close. Too close. Every moment with her dismantles another layer of armor, and every thundering beat of their unborn daughter's heart forces him to face the one choice he's never had the guts to make-become a better man, or lose them both.
