Full Tilt

Full Tilt is the first book in Emma Scott's Full Tilt duet. Kacey Dawson has always lived close to the edge — as lead guitarist for a band on the cusp of real fame, she's torn between the discipline serious musicianship demands and the alcohol-soaked chaos threatening to derail her. A disastrous, career-jeopardizing show in Las Vegas leaves her with no memory of the night before and no idea how she ended up passed out on a stranger's couch.

That stranger is Jonah Fletcher, a glass artist counting down the months he has left after a terminal diagnosis. His plans for his remaining time are focused and modest — finishing a gallery installation, making peace with what's coming — and don't include falling for a volatile rock musician he just met.

What starts as an unlikely rescue becomes a fast, deeply felt connection neither of them saw coming, one both know is built on borrowed time. Full Tilt is a character-driven new adult romance about intimacy under a deadline, more interested in emotional honesty than plot twists.
