[ID: A book cover. The background is blue and green. A man is in the centre. He has long black hair, a tattoo on his right shoulder, and is playing a dark guitar. The cover is designed to look like there are four spotlights pointing at his head. Below him, at the bottom of the cover, a large crowd of people, cheering as if at a concert. In the lower half of the book, in the centre, the title “counterpoint” is in large, plain yellow capitals. Below this, in larger, stylised capitals, the author’s name “Anna Zabo”. In the bottom right corner of the cover, small yellow capitals read “Twisted Wishes”. Below them, “book two” written in smaller, white capitals. /end]

Summary:

Twisted Wishes lead guitarist Dominic “Domino” Bradley is an animal onstage. But behind his tight leather pants and skull-crusher boots lies a different man entirely, one who needs his stage persona not only to perform, but to have the anonymity he craves. A self-imposed exile makes it impossible to get close to anyone outside the band, so he’s forced to get his sexual fix through a few hot nights with a stranger.

When computer programmer Adrian Doran meets Dominic, he’s drawn to the other man’s quiet voice and shy smile. But after a few dirty, demanding nights exploring Dominic’s need to be dominated, Adrian wants more than a casual distraction. He has no idea he’s fallen for Domino Grinder—the outlandish, larger-than-life rock god.

Dominic is reluctant to trust Adrian with his true identity. But when the truth is revealed prematurely, Dominic is forced to reevaluate both his need for Adrian and everything he believes about himself.

Notes:

Archivist Comments:

I have seen references to an age gap romance in this book- I think of about 9 years- and BDSM, specifically bondage. Someone referenced imposter syndrome when talking about one of the MCs. Someone else also tagged this as “food porn” and after looking into it, I believe there’s a scene of one of the MCs being fed dessert while being tied up. I thought I’d mention it in case anyone is uncomfortable with it.
