Lily Writes

Today is release day, and I am so excited to finally share LOVE HOLD , an 🌈 MM romance with you.

This book has lived in my heart for a long time.

If you’ve been following the my series, you’ve already met Casey Reynolds—the charming, larger-than-life lead guitarist of Destroyer. Casey has always been the guy who could light up a room, make everyone laugh, and somehow escape the consequences of his own chaos.

Until he couldn’t.

LOVE HOLD is Casey’s story.

It’s also Jay Holloway’s story.

Jay is a bodyguard, a former Marine, and the man who loved Casey for years despite every reason not to. While Casey chased applause, attention, and the next adventure, Jay was the steady one. The dependable one. The man who kept showing up.

Until one day he stopped.

Because sometimes loving someone isn’t enough.

Sometimes you have to love yourself too.

This book is full of some of my favorite things to write:

❤️ Second chances
❤️ Soulmate-level connection
❤️ Emotional healing
❤️ Found family
❤️ Longing and devotion
❤️ A hero who has to earn forgiveness
❤️ A love story that refuses to stay dead

What surprised me most while writing LOVE HOLD was Casey himself.

He begins this story convinced that love should simply survive because it exists. He believes grand gestures can fix anything. He believes people will keep waiting for him.

And then he loses the one person who truly mattered.

Watching Casey slowly learn what partnership means—what accountability means—became one of the most emotional character journeys I’ve ever written.

This is not a story about perfect people.

It’s a story about growth.

About choosing better.

About learning that love isn’t just something you feel.

It’s something you do.

And because this is Pink Match, fate has a few surprises waiting for both of them.

If you love:
🎸 Rockstar romances
🛡️ Protective bodyguards
💫 Soulmate matches
❤️ Second chance romance
🔥 Emotional angst with a satisfying payoff
🏡 Found family
🌈 MM romance

…then I think you’re going to love LOVE HOLD.

Thank you to every reader who has supported this series, fallen in love with Pinkerton Falls, and trusted me with these characters. I never take that support for granted.

Now excuse me while I go celebrate the fact that Casey Reynolds finally got the happily-ever-after he almost threw away.

LOVE HOLD is available now in Kindle Unlimited and ebook!

Happy reading,
