Key Change: The Road to Rocktoberfest 2023
As front man for supergroup Queen Anne’s Revenge, Devon Bailey has a string of hit songs, has traveled the world, and has everything he could possibly want–or so the rest of the world thinks. Behind the scenes, however, Devon’s life is far emptier than anyone could imagine.
With his band scheduled as headliners at Rocktoberfest to kick off their latest world tour, Devon tries to maintain the illusion of perfection. But he’s deep in the closet, QAR’s drummer is battling addiction, and his bandmates seem to think Devon should have all the answers. When the unthinkable happens, Devon’s life is plunged into chaos, and all he wants is to escape the pressure.
Michael Ford has had a crush on Devon ever since he was hired as a bodyguard, but professional integrity demands he keep his feelings in check. However, Michael doesn’t hesitate to offer respite when Devon is overwhelmed by tragedy. Between the paparazzi on the prowl, grieving family hurling accusations, and Devon’s battle with his own demons, will the attraction between them have the chance to develop into something more?
High Strung: The Road to Rocktoberfest 2024
Life hasn’t always been easy for Luka, but music has gotten him through the hard times. Now his heavy metal cello-rock band, the F-Holes, have scored the gig of a lifetime, launching their first major tour and taking the stage at Rocktoberfest with some of the biggest names in music. But after one of his bandmates has an accident that leaves the future of their tour in doubt, Luka is asked to accept the unacceptable.
Bassist Kit Davies is riding high. His band, Sultana, has just finished a record-setting European tour, and now he has six months off before they are due back in the studio again. Rich and successful, he doesn’t have many regrets in his life, but those he does have center around Luka Petrov and the disastrous circumstances under which Luka left Sultana, the band he’d co-founded. Every apology Kit has made to Luka has been met with rejection, but Kit’s determined to earn Luka’s forgiveness someday.
When Kit learns the F-Holes’ bassist has suffered an injury at the first show of their tour, he pulls strings to be given the position as the fill-in. Unfortunately, Luka seems to view this as a power play rather than a means of atonement. With the F-Holes now poised to make it as big as Sultana, can Kit convince Luka to let go of the past, or will Luka once again walk away from fame rather than forgive Kit for breaking his heart?
Second String: The Road to Rocktoberfest 2025
Dmitri has been second cello in the F-Holes since the beginning of the band, but he’s never been made to feel second best – or at least not musically. He’s mostly drifted through life, happy enough at any given moment, but lately he’s begun to wonder if there’s ever going to be anything more. With most of his bandmates in committed relationships, he’s starting to feel like the odd man out; especially since the man he wants seems to have put him firmly in the friend zone.
As the F-Holes gain momentum from their tour and the sensational romance of their lead cellist, Luka, and superstar bass player Kit, drummer Andre finds himself for the first time truly in the public eye: and it’s not a place he’s comfortable being. It’s hard enough nursing an unacknowledged attraction to his bandmate Dmitri, but Andre has secrets he’d rather not be brought out into the light. Faced with a choice of doing what his family wants, or what his heart wants, will he be able to cast off the bonds he took on far too young and find happiness at last?
