Atlanta, Georgia – Present Day

As the sound engineer of her family’s recording studio, Teagan Woodson is proud and dedicated to her work. A big artist has scheduled time to record an album and needs some studio musicians. One of the musicians trying out is guitarist Maxton McCoy. The moment they meet, there is an instantaneous attraction. But Teagan is prickly about getting involved with those she works with, so it takes a bit of time before Maxton finally thaws her out. First comes friendship, then comes romance. But once all the sessions have been recorded, will they go their separate ways?

Maxton is still mourning the death of his sister, who died in a tragic accident months ago. As such, he moved temporarily to Atlanta, and getting a job as a session musician is a great opportunity to earn some money while he mulls his future. He likes Teagan, and she intrigues him, but he’s only looking for a temporary fling. Maxton still feels deeply about the loss of his sister, and it has left him unsure if he wants to get involved with someone for fear of losing them. Teagan is agreeable to the fling but after a potential family crisis looms, it’s Maxton who she turns to. Their relationship turns deeper into an emotional one when they exchange personal information. Is there a chance for a future together or are they playing with fire?

Teagan is pressured by her family to always put the family business first. She feels restricted at times because her parents rule the company with an iron fist, and she is treated just as an employee at times. Being with Maxton gives her a chance to spread her wings. But behind the scenes is her family, reminding her how much they need to protect her—and that she must protect them. Getting involved with an artist isn’t the easiest thing as Maxton will soon be back on road performing in concerts, while Teagan’s job remains in Atlanta. Will a crisis bring them together and make them realize that they belong together?

An emotional tale right from the start, AFTER HOURS TEMPTATION will have readers rooting for Maxton and Teagan. Part of the 404 Sound series revolving around the Woodson family, this can easily be read as a standalone. Grab a copy today.
