More Than Scars
Music was Bowie’s everything. From the moment his father placed a guitar in his hands until a motorcycle wreck nearly stole his ability to play,
When his backstabbing bandmates cast him out rather than wait for him to heal, they left him drifting with bitterness and scars. Now, he plays in the shadows, a lost star who never had the chance to shine.
Freshly hired to the Masterson Management family to manage their latest band endeavor, Imminent Danger. Though he feared what this may do to his employment he couldn’t walk away. Everything about Bowie called to him on levels he couldn’t fathom. The haunting look in Bowie’s eyes awoke a calling deep inside Pressley Darren. The urge to nurture and protect, to keep him safe from the harsh, cruel world.
Will the broken guitarist open up to Pressley and thus thrust himself into the limelight where he belongs? Or will he succumb to the darkness inside and continue to hide away from the rest of the world.
The boys are back in the multi-author Road to Rocktoberfest 2025 series. Each book can be read as a standalone, but why not read them all and see if some of your past favorites poke their heads in. Err…voices. Hot rockstars, stolen kisses, drywall repairs and the men who drive them over the edge. What more could you ask for? Kick back, load up your ereaders and enjoy the men of Rocktoberfest!

About the author
Layla Dorine
107 books208 followersLAYLA DORINE lives among the sprawling prairies of Midwestern America, in a house with more cats than people. She loves hiking, fishing, swimming, martial arts, camping out, photography, cooking, and dabbling with several artistic mediums. In addition, she loves to travel and visit museums, historic, and haunted places.
Layla got hooked on writing as a child, starting with poetry and then branching out, and she hasn’t stopped writing since. Hard times, troubled times, the lives of her characters are never easy, but then what life is? The story is in the struggle, the journey, the triumphs and the falls. She writes about artists, musicians, loners, drifters, dreamers, hippies, bikers, truckers, hunters and all the other folks that she’s met and fallen in love with over the years. Sometimes she writes urban romance and sometimes its aliens crash landing near a roadside bar. When she isn’t writing, or wandering somewhere outdoors, she can often be found curled up with a good book and a kitty on her lap.

IMMINENT DANGER IS COMING
THE ROAD TO ROCKTOBERFEST 2025 Is Absolutely AMAZING!!! TL TRAVIS and LAYLA DORINE teamed up to find Imminent Danger. This Band picked from obscurity had prominent Masterson idols to mentor them but their talent brought them to the party. This is a show you don't want to miss. Bowie Lead Guitarist, Tony Lead Singer, Tibby on Bass and Claude on Drums are Imminent Danger. Pressley is their Manager. These guys carved out their spot and rocked. This Series is once again filled with standalone Books from Multiple Award Winning Authors. It's a FANTABULOUS line up where you can pick your favorites or read them all. I HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK AND THE ROAD TO ROCKTOBERFEST 2025. THE BOOKS ARE LOADED, JUMP ON THE ADVENTURE!!!!!!!!!!

I can never get enough of TL Travis and her amazing rock stars. This was my first Layla Dorine book, and I'll definitely be reading more. I loved seeing some familiar faces from TL's previous books.
I received an advanced copy and voluntarily gave my honest review.
