Their paths collided and chaos exploded.

Trick, the Jacks’ Road Captain and chief mechanic thrives in the gritty world of his motorcycle club. Loyal to his brothers, loves his work, lives for speed. A trail of failed romances defines him, but who needs love? Not Trick. Not anymore.

Until the night his reckless charm ignites a fire he can’t extinguish.

At the one place he shouldn’t be, Trick does the one thing he shouldn’t do–at a rival club’s party he flirts with a forbidden woman.

The second he lays eyes on the stunning blue-eyed blonde with the feisty attitude, he knows she doesn’t belong at this wild and sordid biker blowout.

Nicole is a sheltered rich girl from the opposite side of the tracks, whose attempt at a good deed got her captured by the ruthless biker president.

Impulsive Trick can’t help himself, and he cuts her loose, erupting a firestorm of chaos.

Together this unlikely duo escapes and is forced into a fake relationship to keep themselves, the Jacks, and their allies out of danger.

Yet in the shadow of this danger, their smoldering attraction blazes.

Trick's icy control melts against Nicole's fierce spirit, and suddenly the line between fake and real blurs in a whirlwind of emotions and desire.

But another unexpected disaster lurks in the startling secrets Nicole keeps hidden.

Secrets that could shatter their fragile alliance and set off another firestorm that could blast through their club family and their small town of Meager, South Dakota, changing them all forever.

For both Trick and Nicole love is a treacherous gamble. Bold and reckless risks required.

The Wind & the Roar Duet

Author: Cat Porter

Genre: Rockstar Romance

WHIRLWIND

Beck

On the final night of my band's sold-out world tour, my high life comes crashing down on me.

Girlfriend. Band. Best friend. All of it. Blindsided, humiliated, pissed off, I take off and slam right into Violet.

Years have gone by since we shared a life-changing conversation in the dark where an unexpected and fierce connection ignited between us.

Now our high voltage attraction explodes.

Between us, it’s soul-searing and wild. And in an impressive twist of fate, she and I are connected in more ways than we know.

The paparazzi are after me for one screw-up after the other, crazy rumors are swirling about me, about the band. But all I care about is Violet, and I’ll do anything to make her mine.

Violet

Am I living the thrill of a lifetime with my one and only man-crush, or am I just deluding myself and ruining a friendship?

I’ve known Beck Lanier for years, but now he's a famous rockstar, living a totally different life. He dares me to take off with him on an extravagant trip. You bet I do—and not once, but twice. The perfect escape from reality for both of us when we need it the most.

This started out as no strings attached fun, and suddenly it isn’t. The fire between me and this gorgeous, talented, and soulful guitarist keeps burning brighter and hotter, obliterating all my musts and all my shoulds. And there are plenty.

And now, working together only brings us closer.

The one thing I do know for sure is that waiting for me back home in South Dakota is harsh, demanding reality from which there is no escape.

EXCERPT

“Why is she sexting you? Is that what we’re doing here? Are you sleeping with other people?” My insides tightened. “Are you—”

“No, baby. There’s only you.”

“But isn’t that what you’re into? An open-to-all-the-possibilities-and-all-the-people way of life like you had with Mae?”

“When she broke it off with me, it was a real knife to the artery. It made me look in the mirror, and I was surprised by what I saw. I didn’t like it. Hollow, tired, disconnected. Hungry for something. Didn’t know what. And I had nowhere to land. No one to trust. I didn’t realize how much I craved that. With you, I found all that and more. So much more.”

My lungs burned. “She still wants you.”

“I don’t want her. I don’t want anybody else. I want you. There’s only you, Violet.” His hard gaze met mine. “And how about you? Is there only me or are you…” He swallowed hard. He couldn’t say the words. “I guess we should have had this conversation before we had unprotected sex—”

“There’s only you.”

His chest expanded on a deep inhale, his eyes softening. “We’re together. I need to hear you say it, baby.”

I grinned. “Capital fucking T, baby.”

“Violet.”

“We’re together.”

A noise escaped his throat, and a smirk slashed his lips as he brought his attention to his phone, tapping and typing. He gave me his phone, and I read his text back to Mae.

“Not interested. Not at all. I’m in a committed monogamous relationship and very happy.”

I bit my lip. This was for real. We were for real.

Me and Beck Lanier.

BLURB

On the final night of my band's sold out world tour my high life comes crashing down on me.

Girlfriend. Band. Best friend. All of it. Blindsided, humiliated, pissed off, I take off and slam right into Violet.

Years have gone by since that unexpected and fierce connection ignited between us. Now it explodes. Between us it’s soul-searing and wild. I can’t get enough of her. And in an impressive twist of fate, she and I are connected in more ways than we know.

The paparazzi are after me for one screw up after the other, crazy rumors are swirling, the gossip hounds are circling. But all I care about is Violet. I’ll do anything to make her mine.

Beck obliterates all my musts, all my shoulds. And there are plenty. In his arms my haunted past fades away and suddenly anything is possible.

Now he’s a huge rockstar, living the celebrity life. Both of us need an escape, and Beck dares me to take off with him. You bet I do. And not once, but twice.

Only I didn’t expect this wild, decadent, indulgence or an amazing professional challenge that he makes possible for me. The fire between us keeps burning brighter and hotter.

Now I feel things I've never let myself feel and so does Beck. But our lives are so different, it could never work. This started out as no strings attached fun, and suddenly it isn’t.

How can I let go?

Because the one thing I do know for sure is that waiting for me back home in South Dakota is harsh, demanding reality.

Whirlwind is the second book of The Wind & the Roar Trilogy and should be read following the novella, Freefall. The Wind & the Roar Trilogy concludes in Whisperwind.

EXCERPT

“I’m sorry I ruined your night out with Wes.”

Beck licked his full lips. “You saved me, Violet. I didn’t really want to go out, let alone to a strip club. But I haven’t seen him since I got here a few days ago, and he’s been worried about me.”

“That’s Wes.”

“Yep. I figured I’d try, but it wasn’t in me. I’ll make it up to him tomorrow.”

He drained his bourbon. “Why were you at a strip joint drinking alone?”

“I got there early. I was waiting for Wes.”

“Violet. Why were you at a strip joint drinking alone?”

“Guess.” My tongue swiped at the corner of my mouth and his gaze darted to the movement. “Take a stab.”

“Bored?”

“Very..”

His eyes narrowed at me, his head tilting. “Wild girl.”

“I was hoping.” I lifted my cup to my lips and drank.

“Hmm. Wants to live on the wild side real bad, even if it’s only for one night—tonight.”

I drained my cup and put it on the counter with a thunk. Our gazes locked, and it was as if he could see me, see right through the noise to the real me like he had that night at Pete’s. I tore my gaze away—I’d touched a hot stove. No matter how mesmerizing Beck Lanier still was, I was in no mood for true confessions, not tonight.

Oh Violet, are you ever?

I shot him a grin. “So, why is a rock and roller who just finished a highly successful world tour in Meager-fucking-South-Dakota?”

He let loose a low, dark laugh. “For the bourbon.” His warm, low voice drilled straight to my insides, filling them with liquid heat. He didn’t want true confessions either. My oh my, how the years had changed us.

I passed him the bottle, and he poured himself a tiny bit and he poured more for me, still not answering my question.

I knew why he was in Meager.

The whole world’s looking for you, Beck Lanier. That’s why you’re here. You’re on the run, hiding out under the radar for as long as you can while you lick your wounds.

It had been all over social media this past week. What a shit move by his girlfriend. What a piece of work. I still remember when I’d first heard that he and Mae were an item. I’d figured it made perfect sense. Both of them serious and successful musicians, both in the limelight, both so very attractive. They seemed really into each other, happy together.

They made a stunning contrast as a couple. Mae was vivacious and outgoing and wore brightly colored funky outfits, while Beck was more introverted and quiet and always wore dark clothing by European designers and those now famous boots of his that were made for him. He’d even appeared in a fashion magazine editorial for the shoe designer’s recent collection. What a spread that was. I’d saved the stunning photos, of course. Beck Lanier was no garage grunge rocker. He and Mae’s relationship intrigued fans, excited them.

Beck drank and passed the bottle back to me. “Let’s see, did you break up with someone?”

I poured myself more. “Aren’t you smart?”

“But you’re not bleeding over it. Over him.”

I raised my cup at him. “Bravo.”

His eyes lit up, and he pointed at me. “You were out celebrating tonight.”

“I was trying.”

“Trying. Hmm. Then something happened at the Tingle to make you charge out of there. Some jerk came onto you? Or maybe you saw someone?”

I swirled the bourbon in my cup. I needed to stop. Martinis and bourbon could get ugly later. I tightened the top back on the bottle and slid it to the side. “What made you take off with me and not go party with Wes?”

“I’d rather be anywhere with you than in a nightclub with naked women on parade and crazed men acting like they’re thirteen year old boys on a class trip.”

The wind knocked out of me, my face heated, and I let out a laugh. “You did miss out on a lot of naked women in there. But I’m sure a parade of naked babes must be a dull, boring spectacle to you after all these years of touring, huh, rockstar?”

“Pretty much.” His lips twisted.

“Here’s to honesty.” I took my final swig of the drops left in my cup. “How’s the ice pack?”

“Numbing.”

“Perfect. Is your management team going to sue me now?”

“I won’t say it was you. I’ll blame it on that bouncer. Think of it—‘Beck Lanier brawls with outlaw biker in front of strip club in South Dakota.’

“Hell, yes. Fucking hot and super macho.”

He lifted his chiseled chin at me, his fingers touching his bruises. “You did me a favor.”

My insides charged at the rough in his voice, the bright gleam in his eyes, the sly grin, and I crossed my legs, tightly. Tonight was turning out way better than I ever could have imagined earlier when I downed that first martini. Way better.

But I have to. I’m in the middle of a tour, success is finally happening now for my band. And she’s making a change for the better.

Damn, moments like this only happen once in a lifetime.

EXCERPT

Beck had no airs of “I’m a star,” no egotistical pretensions. Would they set in soon as he and his band kept on getting bigger and bigger?

Probably. Inevitably.

I cleared my throat. “I can’t imagine the kind of pressure you’re under on tour.”

He slowly slid a hand down his middle. “It’s like a time warp in a vacuum, where every little thing is magnified, and every little thing revolves around us.”

“Not bad if you can get it.” I let out a soft laugh.

“It’s fun, but it’s a long haul. This tour is so unlike any tour we’ve ever done before. It’s a big, structured machine with lots of moving parts, lots of people who keep it functioning, and lots of people that depend on it. As the opening act, we have our role in the machine, and we need to deliver.”

“I’ve never thought of it that way, but it’s a business at the end of the day with super high stakes.”

“Then the other side of that is the way people react to you, talk to you. They don’t know you, but they think they do, and they want more of that person they think they know. They’re in your face, they want your attention, and then they do crazy shit. You do crazy shit.”

“I’ll bet.”

I could only imagine the “crazy shit” that went on. There had to be major groupie action on his ass show after show—for all the guys in Freefall. They were all hot boys. And The Heave had a party reputation like a good ol’ hard rock band from the eighties.

Beck caught my smirk and let out a throaty chuckle. Yep, real crazy, real dirty.

He dug his hands into his jeans, his wavy hair falling in his eyes. “When you step off of that nuclear powered express train that is a tour, like I did coming here, it’s a mind fuck. Part of me feels that real life is the alternate universe, not the tour.”

I giggled. “That is a mind fuck.”

He planted a boot against the wall behind him. “The hard nut to break is that real life has moved on without you, and suddenly you’re scrambling to catch up, and you have to because—”

“Because it’s real life.”

That muscle along his sculpted jaw flexed again. “I guess I’ll get used to all this one day—the train, the on and off the train.”

“Get used to it, Beck Lanier. This is just the beginning. I see loads of tours in your future.”

“I hope so.” The lines of his face relaxed as his voice gentled, and my skin heated at the sound. That sincerity that came through when he sang was in his speaking voice—it wasn’t some artificial frosting for his performance. I could listen to that voice speak and sing forever.

Here in this dark shadowy hallway, just the two of us.

Anywhere in the dark, just the two of us.

We stared at each other in the shadows, his eyes gleaming, my pulse beating harder, louder.
