Helplessly Hoping

He's a 70s rock legend. She's his efficient, distant assistant. One night changes everything.
I've spent years riding the rollercoaster of the music industry—from the wild days of my 70s rock band to carving out a solo career in the 80s. Chaos? I've lived it, and I've lost count of how many personal assistants I've burned through. Then Nicki walked in.
Efficient. Beautiful.
Completely off-limits.
The more we worked together, the harder it was to ignore the tension simmering beneath the surface. I tried to keep it professional, but months of keeping my distance couldn't stop what happened that one drunken night on tour.
Lines blurred.
Boundaries crossed.
Now my old bandmate wants to reunite the band, and just as things between Nicki and I start to make sense, she hits me with life-changing news—she's pregnant. But it's not just us anymore. Between an ex hell-bent on making my life miserable and Nicki's past creeping in, everything feels like it's slipping through my fingers.
Nicki's battling postpartum depression, and I'm falling back into old, destructive habits. With our relationship hanging by a thread, we're forced to confront the choices we've made and face the ultimate test of love, loyalty, and redemption.
Our harmony has fallen out of tune—can we find a way to get back on key?
Perfect for fans of emotional rockstar romance, Helplessly Hoping is a raw and gripping story of passion, heartbreak, and second chances.
