Shaft on Tour Series
Escaping
ME – Book One
Daisy Shayne has a plan for everything. She has a list, a real list. Her life has been planned out on a simple piece of paper that she carries in her purse. Stick to the list, her daily reminder since she was sixteen years old. Her list, now nearly complete, she decides to have a summer of fun with her fiancé Landon. Her new job arranged to start in the fall; she’s off to spend the next six months with Landon on tour with his brother, Grayson’s band, Shaft.
Things aren’t always what they seem. Landon has been hired as an assistant to the band and their manager, Tad. Daisy is now stuck on the road with six men as Landon pushes her further and further away with each passing mile.
Grayson Cole has spent his entire life shielding himself from letting people get too close. You can’t be hurt if you keep everyone at arm’s length. Traveling the country on a tour bus with his band left no desire to get to know anyone for longer than it takes to play a show. Everything changes when he sees Daisy.
The attraction and pull is one that both Daisy and Grayson are unable to resist. Grayson sees her as his Wildflower. Regardless of her status as his soon to be sister-in-law, he finds himself desperate to be near her.
Temptations, betrayal, and lies are all mixed with booze, tattoos, sex, laughs, and love as the Shaft takes stage after stage. Making friends along the way, Daisy must stop escaping herself. She must stop hiding behind a list and come to terms with what she really wants in life. Emotions and secrets unravel all around as Daisy learns to live the rough and rowdy life of taking Shaft on tour.

First of all, I could never thank everyone who makes this entire process special for me. It is truly a dream come true to have the words I write and the characters I love so much be loved by others as well. They exist in my head, but it’s you who truly give them life and I could never thank you enough.
Asli, thank you for always fixing my grammatical blunders. Sometimes it’s not as easy as it looks to do so either. You deserve a medal. Or at least a man in a book of your own.
Mel, you have applied polish and made my words look beautiful all wrapped up in a steamy cover. You kick ass!
Chelsea and Jenn, there are no words. The rollercoaster that the last year has been is mindblowing and I can’t begin to describe my gratitude. Love and Shenanigans! I can proudly say that no cars were hurt in the writing of this book, not even the interior. LOL.
Oh Kat, my crazy hilarious partner in crime. Whether it’s dancing on the treadmill, screaming things at people out the window of our cars, or any other crazy thing we come up with… You keep me from getting too serious and remind me that I should live life for what it is and not get pissed with what I don’t have or who I’m not. It’s far too short for that shit. What in the hell did I do before you topped me? LMAO!!!!
To Lynsey and Kelly, thanks for taking death and all that came along with your piece of the story so well. Dawn, Leanne, Rich (Big Dick), and all the other people that I placed in parts of this book… I hope you enjoyed being Pricked. You may be the first ones, but you won’t be the last.
Leah, thank you for everything you have helped add into this series. You have so much more of a story to tell and I can’t thank you enough for letting me have that privilege.
Wendi, Leanne, Kat, Lynsey, Leah, Cybill, for reading the pieces I needed and helping me get out of my head when I was literally bashing it against the wall at times. You found teasers and beauty in things I was ready to delete and for that I can’t thank you enough. Also, Cybill. Not only has she become a good friend; she is one kick ass assistant and no one gets her. She’s mine! She has an epic hubs who gives great Starbucks. He’s a keeper. Thanks so much for coming to RARAE and hanging out, can’t wait until Nashville! We will rock it!
To all the groups that I am in on Facebook that have become like family to me, the ladies I chat with daily, thank you because some of those conversations and comments come just when I need them most.
My family, for not freaking out when I do. (Yeah it happens) I go into a state where I don’t call anyone or keep up with things. I forget to do things as simple as cook dinner until it’s far past dark out and get very little complaints. My husband and kids have stood beside me throughout this process as I grow and release more books and all I can say is thank you. Th
e words are simply inadequate.
This is just a handful of people and I know I am missing so many that I want to put here, but my gratitude cup runs over in spades. I could fill book after book of names and reasons why I am grateful for having them in my life.
So to every reader, every blogger, every fellow author who inspires me and promotes me…just wow. I have met so many amazing people in the last year, whether in person or online, your imprints no matter how big are small, are here in these pages and in my heart. Never think that I don’t have fangirl moments and giggle like a kid on Christmas every single time I see a post, tag, or message from you. Hell, a lot of those messages are the reasons for the Pricks series and the extensions of Shaft on Tour. Those are all things that brighten my day and I hope they never stop.
