A great many of you may be working at home due to the global pandemic. I hope sharing the benefit of my 20 years of experience will help you work through this challenge. Nearly every time I tell someone that I work from home, they say that they could never do that. They would not get any work done. Yet there is a way to do it. You must change your perspective by separating your work life and home life while you do both in the place that you live. You will do your job and be content in your home, if you adopt the method I am going lay out in this audiobook.

When I met Tyler Cook, it was the end of a past I didn’t want to look back on and the beginning of a future I couldn’t wait to start. One lick of Tyler, and that’s all it took. I was addicted. To him, to his wild, raucous life as a rock star on the road with the band Trouble, and eventually, to most of the drugs I discovered he was taking to make that life - and the secrets he was being forced to keep - a little more bearable. But I couldn’t quit him, no matter how much it hurt. If you met Tyler, you’d understand why I think he’s so worth it.

While Bree - my best friend since forever - couldn’t get enough of “Trouble” and their lead singer, Rob Burns, I set my sights a little lower - and to the left. Rob’s immediate left, that is, at least on stage. Tyler Cook was Trouble’s lead guitarist, a tall, glorious, dark blonde, beautiful specimen of a man who could make ovaries explode and panties drop with just one twist of that smirky smile of his. Of course, it was all just in good fun, two girls going to Trouble concerts and screaming ourselves hoarse along with the rest of the fans.
