He’s more Captain America than Hulk and suddenly having a bodyguard doesn’t seem like such a bad idea.

Dash hits the ground running for a crash course in the music industry and celebrity life, at the same time stuffing his inconvenient attraction to Rylee in a box to deal with later. Then the stalker shows up again on the cruise ship where Rylee’s doing a special performance and kidnaps her, forcing Dash to stalk the stalker on the high seas in the middle of a hurricane, and face losing his one possible chance at true love.

His new album hangs in the balance when his muse abandons him, so he decides to step back from the rock star life to get his shit together, starting by swearing off women. When his manager suggests a retreat at a country estate outside Houston, it sounds like just the remedy Jaxon needs.
