Busted String by Brina Brady

Jace Adams, a rebellious rock singer, commands the stage with a raw energy that denies his past. At sixteen, he chose the uncertainty of the streets over the constraints imposed by his strict religious upbringing. A decision leads him to Nico, a drummer with a rhythm as mysterious as his mafia heritage. Together, they form the band, Sacred Fire, blending their gritty street style into a symphony of success.
Nico Greco, the drummer with a legacy as complex as his beats, navigates the treacherous waters of his family’s mafia ties while drumming up a storm on stage. Despite the sparks flying between him and Jace, he keeps his heart guarded, adhering to his father’s stern warning: love is a luxury that could cost him his life.
As they rise from the ashes of their former lives, Jace harbors a secret passion for Nico, a love so intense he would forsake all others. But his vices—drinking, smoking, and a revolving door of romances—keep Nico at arm’s length. Unbeknownst to Nico, Jace is ready to sacrifice it all for a chance at true harmony with him.
