The Luckiest (Lucky Moon)
by Piper Vaughn M. J. O'Shea2nd EditionLucky Moon: Book TwoRock star Nick Ventura has finally hit rock bottom. Jealous of his brother's new love, he overindulges in his usual vices and winds up crashing his car into a department store in a drunken haze.

Nutritionist Luka Novak is flamboyant, effeminate, and the type of gay man bisexual Nick would normally sneer at. But his sunny nature hides a deep hurt caused by an unfaithful ex-boyfriend. As much as Luka knows he should be wary of Nick's reputation, he's drawn to Nick despite himself. Their tentative friendship turns into romance, but Luka soon comes to realize Nick's fear of losing his bad boy reputation means he'll probably never go public with their relationship. Nick never needed anyone until Luka came into his life. Now he has to reconcile his carefree past with the future he suddenly wants more than anything. And the first lesson he must learn is how to become the man both he and Luka need him to be, rather than stay the boy he always was. Alone.1st Edition published by Loose Id LLC, March 2012
