Fated

As a music journalist, I've interviewed rock stars from all over the globe, using my special "intuitions" to pen some of the most in-depth and personal interviews in the business. Meeting Maggie's Bones---and especially their intense bass player, Mage---proved to be a life-changing experience. I was immediately drawn to this strange but intriguing man, and we spent an amazing night bonding over our similar experiences growing up "freaks". We had a fantastic connection, unlike anything I'd ever experienced...

Until Mage started talking about dreams, about destiny and fate, and it brought up too many painful memories...ones I'd buried long ago in a desperate bid to function as a normal human being. That didn't quite work out as planned. Now I'm spiraling down a depressing, anxiety-filled hole, and while I want so desperately to believe that I can heal from my past and love again, love Mage, I'm afraid I may be Fated to be alone...

Take another wild ride with the hard-rocking members of Maggie's Bones, and see if love can once again cure the haunted.

Author Note: While Fated is a stand-alone story, readers will get greater enjoyment (and more hot, emotional rockers) by first reading Haunted.



R.L. Merrill's Bio

Award-winning author and Bay Area native R.L. "Ro" Merrill (she/her) is an advocate for social justice, a sucker for rescue pets, and a spinner of compelling stories. A veteran public school educator, parent of two brilliant young adults, and wife of a patient collector and fellow bookworm, she was raised on a steady diet of eclectic music and campy horror. She writes quirky and relatable queer and heterosexual characters that know how to use their words and are willing to work hard for their happily ever afters. Readers who dig swoony contemporary romance or shivery supernatural suspense will find themselves right at home in her extensive catalog. Her books contain killer soundtracks, generous amounts of spice, and enough laughs to get readers out of their heads and into their feels. When she's not writing, you can find her cruising in her Bronco, adding to her vinyl and skull collections, or head-banging at a rock show. Stay Tuned for More...
