A Metal Mayhem Festival Romance

By: J.L. Birchwood

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Delilah can’t catch a break.
Two months after her fiancé dumped her for another woman, she’s looking forward to kicking back at the Metal Mayhem Festival, a four-day celebration of heavy music at a soccer stadium within walking distance of her house. To her, there’s no better cure for a broken heart than thrash music, blistering sunshine, and deep-fried festival food. But Delilah’s hopes for relief are crushed when her best friend is called to work at the last minute, forcing her to choose between spending another weekend wallowing or going to the festival alone.
Bryce is just along for the ride.
When Bryce and his buddies arrive at the festival for a thirtieth birthday celebration weekend, he’d rather be literally anywhere else. It’s hot. The beer’s too expensive. He doesn’t know the music. And this is definitely not his crowd. Try as he might, he’s never felt so out of place, and it shows.
When Bryce and Delilah meet, the curvy woman wearing a red tartan skirt steals his heart with just the touch of her hand. But as he pursues his newfound crush, a streak of malignant jealousy rips through Bryce’s friendships, destroying everything in its path, including the innocent bystander, Delilah.
Will Bryce and Delilah overcome their wounded hearts and find their way back to each other?
Or will they be nothing more than a one-hit wonder?
