Violent Mercy is an emotionally intense rockstar romance series about found family, brutal fame, and the kind of love that survives when the spotlight burns everything else away.
They didn’t grow up with families worth keeping—so they built one out of music, loyalty, and survival forged on tour buses, in green rooms, and under stage lights that never stop watching. Violent Mercy isn’t just a band. It’s a lifeline.
Each book follows one member of the band as a single high-pressure tour forces them to confront old wounds, impossible choices, and the terrifying truth that vulnerability—the very thing that fuels their music—might also be what costs them everything. From cramped buses and late-night studios in Austin to sold-out arenas, industry power plays, and public scandals, this series explores love under pressure, trust earned the hard way, and intimacy that doesn’t come without consequences.
High heat. Deep emotional stakes. Messy, complicated characters who don’t always choose right—but choose honestly.
Every book delivers a complete love story with a hard-earned happily-ever-after. Together, they build toward an unforgettable series finale about loyalty, redemption, and the family you choose when the world is watching.

She built her career exposing lies.
He built his life surviving the truth.
Missy Thomas has made a name for herself by tearing down carefully constructed public personas—especially men who sell vulnerability for profit. A former child star turned feared music journalist, she doesn’t believe in authenticity. She believes in control.
Declan Hale is the frontman of Violent Mercy—and everything Missy thinks she despises. A rock star praised for emotional honesty, fiercely loyal to his band, and already fighting to keep control of a career everyone else feels entitled to own. When his label demands a career-saving profile, Declan agrees to full access… even if it means inviting the one journalist known for destroying her subjects straight into his world.
Embedded on tour, Missy expects ego, chaos, and cracks she can exploit.
What she finds instead is discipline. Devotion. A found family built from broken people who chose each other anyway.
And Declan sees her for exactly who she is.
As attraction ignites amid sold-out shows, sleepless nights, and escalating industry pressure, Missy faces an impossible choice: protect the story that could save her career—or protect the people who trusted her with their truth.
When she makes a choice she can’t undo, the fallout is public, brutal, and impossible to outrun.
Loving Declan could cost her everything.
Trusting Missy could destroy everything he’s built.
Violent Mercy is a slow-burn, high-heat rockstar romance about earned trust, betrayal, and falling in love when walking away would be safer. Emotionally raw and deeply intimate, this is a story where accountability matters, forgiveness isn’t guaranteed, and the happily-ever-after only comes after consequences—and choosing each other when it would be easier not to.
This is Book 1 in the Violent Mercy series. Each book follows a different band member and delivers a complete, hard-earned happily-ever-after.

Playboy Rockstar • Fake Relationship • Found Family • He Falls First • Angst with Consequences
Theo Evans has a reputation that follows him into every green room—and straight onto every gossip site. Charming. Reckless. Untouchable. As Violent Mercy’s bassist, he’s mastered the art of smiling, flirting, and disappearing before anyone gets close enough to see the damage underneath.
Samara Davi makes things meant to last. A jewelry designer known for turning raw metal into meaning, Samara joins the tour after being commissioned to create custom rings, necklaces, and fan pieces for Violent Mercy’s next era. She wants nothing to do with the band’s resident heartbreaker—especially not the man who ghosted her best friend two years ago and never looked back. In Samara’s world, symbols matter, and charm without accountability is just another way men avoid consequences.
Theo doesn’t argue. He knows he earned her contempt.
When he’s caught in public with a group of models, the fallout is instant. Headlines explode. Sponsors threaten to walk. The band’s carefully rebuilt image cracks overnight. Theo grumbles that the legends of the ’80s trashed hotel rooms and got away with everything—but in this era, image is currency, and he’s suddenly overdrawn.
The solution? A controlled, public-facing relationship.
Theo agrees without hesitation. Pretending has always been easy.
Samara agrees with conditions. Strict ones. No lies. No manipulation. And no pretending that meaning exists where it hasn’t been earned.
Except it does.
As staged affection turns into late-night conversations, shared silences, and a closeness Theo never learned how to survive, he finds himself falling first—and falling hard—for a woman who refuses to separate chemistry from character. For Samara, trusting Theo means risking the careful life she’s built by believing that people can change… and stay changed.
When the tour ends and the cameras disappear, Theo must prove he’s more than his worst choices—and that growth isn’t temporary when the spotlight fades.
Because some bridges are burned for a reason.
And some are worth rebuilding, even if it means getting hurt again.
Bridge & Burn is a high-heat, emotionally driven rockstar romance about accountability, redemption, and learning that real love isn’t about who you pretend to be—it’s about who you choose to become when it matters.
This is Book 2 in the Violent Mercy series. Each book follows a different band member and delivers a complete, hard-earned happily-ever-after.
