Bio:
When Kate Evangelista was told
she had a knack for writing stories, she did the next best thing: entered
medical school. After realizing she wasn't going to be the next Doogie Howser,
M.D., Kate wandered into the Literature department and never looked back.
Today, she is a graduate of De La Salle University - Manila with a Bachelor of
Arts in Literature. She taught high school English for three years and was an
essay consultant for two. Currently she writes full-time and is based in the Philippines.

I left Lunar Manor broken,
seeking comfort in the hands of Laurel “the Dragon” Hardy, the editor-in-chief
of the Daily Gossip. Okay, I may have used him to ease the pain He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named
caused by his confession of loving someone else. On New Year’s Eve! Granted, he
was drunk off his ass, but still! I stay with Larry mainly because the dreams
are getting worse. Worse enough to wake me in the middle of the night needing
the touch of another to save me from losing my mind.
Unfortunately, the handsome
bassist of the uber successful indie rock band, Vicious, is never far from my
mind. I thought I was rid of him once and for all only to have him show up at
my hotel in London. Luka Visraya’s power over me is intense. No matter how far
I run, I always end up circling back to him.
If you think my story is just
some romance about two lovers getting back together, think again. Little did I
know that returning to Luka meant I’d be plunging myself into a world more
familiar than I ever thought possible. Trust me when I say I didn’t believe it
either when the truth finally came out.

I studied the red light on the
coffeemaker until it turned green and the robustness of the Sumatran blend the
guy in my bed preferred woke me up further. I forced myself not to think about
the special brew they served at Lunar Manor. That coffee tasted like money. The
best beans, the best roast. My mouth watered, along with my eye. I blinked
repeatedly. I had promised myself before I left Mom’s that I wouldn’t bring my
depression back to Crescent City.
What
good the promise did me.
Steaming cup in hand, I sat in
front of my computer, one leg up, and clicked on the YouTube link that brought
me directly to the Poison music video. Since its release in January, the video
had been viewed thirty million times. Nothing new for Vicious. Their first
single is well over ninety million now. The only difference? About half a
million of those Poison views came from my incessant need to torture my heart.
By now I had the entire sequence memorized.
The video began with a shot of
the band in front of a snow-covered fountain. Vicious in all their leather-kilt
wearing glory; except for Phoenix—she wore the tightest leather pants known to
mankind. My heart melted at the sight of Dray pounding away on the drums, his
eyes closed. Demitri stood to the left of the screen, plucking at the all-white
bass in his hands—shirtless and showing off his tattoos. A pinch in my chest
stole my breath when my gaze landed on Phoenix again. She’d taken the place of
lead guitarist while the guy who’d broken my heart sang one of the saddest
songs in existence.
As
the video switched to scenes of me in a gorgeous dress made of leather and
black feathers traipsing around in the snow-covered woods, I freely admitted to
myself that I carried around a broken heart. I didn’t realize I had feelings
for the blond-haired, blue-eyed, multi-pierced bassist of Vicious until he
crushed it under his boot during the New Year’s Eve party.
