Amy Be Mine: DarkHeaven Rock Band Series
()
About this ebook
Craig Stenhorn has it all.
He's the guitarist for the best-selling rock band Dark Heaven. He has money, fame, and a beautiful girlfriend he's crazy about. When all his inner circle finds love and commitment, it opens Craig's eyes to making things with Amy permanent.
That is until Fate steps in and threatens his position in Dark Heaven and quite possibly his life. To make matters even worse, Amy is offered a once-in-a-lifetime job as a photojournalist for Rock and Royal Magazine, which is based in London.
With so much uncertainty in his future, Craig considers that it might be best for him and Amy if he encourages her to take the job in London. He reasons that eventually Amy will get so involved in her new life she will forget him.
But can true love really be denied?

Chapter 1
Chapter SeparatorCraig
Amy, I just don’t know how I’m going to book a flight and get to Miami by sundown. It’s not possible. If it’s so important, I’ll fly in tomorrow morning.
Tomorrow is too late.
I can hear the irritation in her voice.
The last thing I want is to make her angry.
I love the girl.
She is my Amy Be Mine. It comes from her name -Amy Bridget Minor.
And she is my girl.
I even sign off at the end of every concert I perform at and every public appearance always ends with Amy Be Mine. It’s my public admission of love for her, and our private little joke of her name, Amy Bridget Minor.
But right now, I have a lot on my mind.
None of it is good.
Craig, you didn’t make it for the tribute concert last night. Now you’re telling me you can’t fly in for a surprise?
A surprise.
I hate surprises.
In my life, very few surprises have ever been a good thing. Sure, it might start off good, and then it goes to hell real quick.
Do you know what this surprise is?
I ask.
There’s a hesitation on the line.
I think that she knows exactly what the surprise is.
It has to be something to do with the Kit Denton tribute concert she attended last night.
I don’t want to lie to you.
Then please don’t!
I immediately regret my tone. My Amy is a bit of a soft flower who doesn’t react well to raised voices or conflict. I do my best not to upset her. My heart can’t handle seeing her upset or in pain.
I’ve been sworn to secrecy, Craig. Just know that it would be a good thing for you to be here.
She then adds for a dramatic effect in her most solemn tone,
Remember the funeral.
How can I forget the funeral, Amy? No one will forget the funeral or the aftermath.
I pause and consider that this surprise in Miami is actually something terrible.
This isn’t bad…this surprise. Is it?
My voice comes out in a squeak and I clear my throat.
No, it isn’t anything bad. It’s the opposite. It’s something very, very good, and you should be here with me to witness it. But if you can’t make it, well, then you can’t make it.
I hate disappointing Amy, but there are things I haven’t told her. Potentially bad things that I need to confront. Until I know exactly what my own situation is, I won’t upset her.
I have an appointment that I can’t put off any longer, Amy. I’ll try to fly into Miami this evening, or I’ll be there tomorrow morning. I promise.
I know this isn’t what she wants to hear.
I wish she was here right now and I could unburden myself to her face-to-face.
But after so much soul searching, researching, and asking myself what if? I’ve decided it’s best for both of us that I not say anything to Amy until I know the facts.
"If you can’t fly in tonight, there’s really no
