Love Hold

A bodyguard with boundaries. A rockstar with regrets. One last chance at forever.
Casey Reynolds is the charismatic lead guitarist of Destroyer-a man adored by millions, addicted to attention, and dangerously good at convincing himself that love can survive neglect.
Jay Holloway is the bodyguard who loved him anyway.
For years.
What starts as a passionate, secret relationship between an aging rockstar and the steady, protective man guarding his life slowly becomes something deeper... and far more fragile. Because Jay wants more than stolen weekends and empty promises. He wants consistency. Partnership. A future.
And Casey?
Casey keeps breaking his heart.
After one final betrayal shatters what's left of their relationship, Jay walks away determined to move on. But months later, an anonymous soulmate matching app begins connecting two strangers who seem to understand each other a little too well.
What follows is a deeply emotional journey about grief, accountability, healing, and learning that love alone isn't enough-unless you're willing to change for it.
