"I believe that all roads lead to the same place-and that is wherever all roads lead to." ~Willie Nelson

The last couple of months hadn't gone as Rachel had planned including drug rehab for one of her roommates, a move, and a job promotion-not in that order. Her roommate Ivy had gotten into drugs while working at a bar, and she had spiraled downhill quickly. Everyone rallied and got her into rehab, but when she checked herself out early, Rachel realized she had to move. Since she'd got a job promotion, she had the money to move into a different place with a new roommate.

Needless to say, time for herself was nonexistent. As Rachel looked back at her life, she realized she still needed to make a few changes. That's why she'd texted MasterMixer the other day. She didn't want to live scared and wanted to do something for herself. Getting in touch with the guy from the dating site seemed to be a good start. She wasn't sure it would go anywhere, but she remembered she enjoyed talking to h

    Rules for Online Dating: Don't Share Anything Too Personal at First On a rare day off, Wil was going to live it up the best he could. And "day off" meant they were driving down the road in the tour bus from one destination to another with no shows that day. They'd get to their next destination in plenty of time, but they needed a break, and so did their voices.Unfortunately, a day off also meant long hours on the road. The Dive Bar Tour was a huge success, and fans in all the cities were loving it. Hell, he and the guys enjoyed it too. It was what they all needed-to slow down and to go back to their roots.The time in the bus bothered Wil. The rest of the guys took it and ran with it. They found things to keep them busy, but Wil always had trouble sitting as they traveled down the highway. Part of it was that he suffered from motion sickness. It didn't always hit him, but when it did, he was miserable. The other reason he didn't like the long days on the bus was because it gave him

    The Dive Bar Tour is wrapping up, and if you didn't get out to a show, you really missed out. A couple of stops are still left. Grab your tickets and see the boys while you can. You won't be sorry. "Happy birthday!" Rachel said as she held the cake out for her roommate. She hated how awkward it all seemed, but she was trying something new. She'd never wanted to make an effort for her last roommates. They were just around so they were all able to afford to live in an expensive city for cheap.Paige was different. Ever since they became roommates, they had grown closer. Rachel didn't have many friends in her life, but Paige was the closest she had ever had to one. So making the effort for her birthday seemed important."Rach, what have you done?" Paige asked with a smile."I baked you a cake. It might not be edible, though, so I might owe you dinner out with a trip to that pastry shop we both like downtown.""This is awesome! I love cake. I'm sure it's great. Let me get changed, and we

    Rules for Online Dating: Be 100 Percent Honest Wil woke slowly and stretched in his bed. It wasn't his bed, but any time he was in Nebraska, he was in one of two places-Laura King's place or in the apartment above the studio at Austin's place. Nine times out of ten he was at the apartment. He'd told KT that he and Megan should take it so they'd have little privacy, but KT liked being at Laura's house and said he enjoyed helping her out and being mothered. Wil didn't blame the guy since he didn't get to experience that growing up and all. KT and his mom were working on their relationship, but they still had a long way to go.The tour had wrapped, and the guys were all back in Nebraska for a couple of weeks tying up the loose ends. Once they finished, the plan was to take a break. Austin wanted time with Shelby, KT and Megan were headed to Texas to work on a new nonprofit project they'd started, and Nate, well, he had a family now.

    Nate Larson was spotted at Disneyland with his wife and stepdaughter. News of Nate and Dani King tying the knot shook the music world. Their wedding happened behind the scenes in a small, private ceremony and no one seemed to know it happened. Fans immediately wondered what brother Austin King had to say about their union. Could trouble be brewing in paradise? "Why are you texting my girlfriend?" KT asked before Wil even made it up to the porch of Laura King's house."Be nice," Megan said behind him."I told you to let me handle this," he told her.Wil laughed at the whole thing. KT had read him the riot act after he and Megan got serious, warning him not to take his woman. It hurt Wil that his friend somehow felt it was necessary, but he wouldn't fault him for wanting to protect the good in his life."Hey," Wil said, holding up his hands like he was turning himself in, "it's nothing big. Honest. You can even hang around if you want. Make sure everything stays cool.""There's no nee

That has us questioning what will Wil do now that he's alone? Will the parties he's so famous for throwing start up or will he find another way to fill his time? "Thanks." Wil looked around the outside of his apartment building and wasn't sure of the place."You're welcome, sir."He'd tell the guy not to call him sir, but it wouldn't do him any good. Just like it wouldn't do any good for him to ask the man not to get his luggage. Sure, he paid for the car service, but that didn't mean someone had to wait on him hand and foot. Wil was fine doing things like a regular guy.As soon as they stopped, the driver was out getting the bags, so Wil took the opportunity to get out of the car.

If he doesn't see that, he's a fool.""I'm not sure I want to give up what we have yet. Why rock the boat? It's not like he's asking for pictures or wanting to meet up someplace.""Do you ever stop and wonder why that is?" Paige asked."Sometimes. At times I wonder if it's because he's worried about what I'll think, which is stupid since he's obviously amazing. You saw his picture. I guess we all have our hang-ups, though.""Does it mean something that I've seen his pictures, and he's never asked for mine?"Paige made a face, and Rachel had her answer.

Most of the stuff in those are.""But I know it's not. I expected it from my mom but never my dad. Why would he do that after everything he did?""Greed makes people do terrible things."Rachel tensed when the buzzer sounded. "If that's Wil, I'm not here.""He knows that's a lie.

    Wil Harris wrapped up shooting in Spain and headed back to LA. Usually when he traveled around he was known to party, but Wil stuck close to set and his hotel, not even opting for wild parties in. Watch out, ladies. It might be serious. A new rush of energy hit Wil as his plane landed in LA. He'd worked the private flight into his contract, and knowing he didn't have to worry about fans in the airport made it the smartest move on his part. All he wanted to do was get home to Rachel. The months apart, while exciting, hadn't been what he expected. The old Wil would've enjoyed the hell out of it, partied every night and not had a care in the world. With Rachel in the picture, he spent his free time thinking about her and wishing she was with him. He'd already planned a trip for them to Spain. The area was breathtaking, and he knew she'd love it."The car service called, and they're waiting for you as soon as the captain gives the all clear.""Thanks, Rana.""It should only be a few mo

She'd been out with the dog and she looked rather ordinary."Why's your camera turned off?" Wil asked when the call connected."I look like crap.""It's not possible. I've been missing you like crazy. Now let me see your face?"Rachel turned on the camera. She hadn't done her hair so the wavy strands sat untamed around her face. "See, not good.""I do see. You're beautiful."Her nose wrinkled. "You always say that, but I think you're biased.""Others think it too, but it doesn't matter because you're mine."Hearing

    Austin King is a dad! Pictures surfaced on his IG of him holding a newborn with the caption, "Today my heart grew to love more than yesterday. I've won a lot of things in life, but getting to be this one's dad beats them all." "You ready to go?" Wil asked from the doorway of Rachel's room.She looked up, surprised to see him. They'd been sleeping in the same room since the night she trusted him not only with her heart but with her body too. Wil had a surprise for her, though, and he needed her to finish packing or they'd be late."It'd be easier if you told me where we were going," she said sticking out her lip and pouting.He laughed because she looked cute and crossed to her, letting his lips linger on hers. He intended it to be a quick, simple kiss, but like everything with Rachel, it wasn't. Instead it swelled into something more, something deeper.Slowly she pulled back. "Thought we were in a hurry.""You distracted me. Now get a move on, beautiful. We have places to go, things

When Wil had told her how he saw her, it broke the piece of her that kept her heart guarded. There had been a reason she never told people about her past. Everyone felt bad for her or about her situation. Hearing Wil say he didn't view her as those things went a long way.Only part of what she'd said was true. She didn't think she'd fallen for Wil. She knew it, and it scared the shit out of her.A quiet knock came at the door. When she didn't answer, she heard Wil's voice."Rach, you okay?"Was she? No, the emotions running through her wreaked havoc, causing her to wrap her arms around herself.The door opened, but she barely noticed as she tried not to think about what Wil might have to say."Hey," he said next to her, pulling her into his arms.

I can't help if I don't know, and this opportunity is too good to mess up."Wil ran a hand through his hair. "It's not like that. I met someone.""You... met?""Someone," Wil filled in for him. "A woman.""Listen," Paul started, a look of concern on his face, "You've got a great family, but it's important for me to say this to you. Guard yourself."Wil's laugh echoed through the room."This isn't a laughing matter.

    Rules for Online Dating: Don't Rush It. Things between Rachel and Wil had been almost effortless. She'd worried life in LA would come with challenges-both with Wil and everything else. While Chicago was a big city, California seemed scarier to her."Morning, beautiful. What's going on for you today?" Wil asked as he walked into the living room fresh from a shower. "Did you just pinch yourself?""I had to make sure all of this was real," she explained. "There's no way this is meant for me. The place, this life, you."Before she realized it, Wil's lips pressed against hers. There'd been a lot of kissing since she'd shown up, and she wanted more. Wil seemed hesitant to take it further. Besides, the moment they shared where breakfast burned, they hadn't done anything other than heavy making out. Now that she realized how great an orgasm could be with Wil, she craved more. Rachel wanted to make him feel good too.The kiss was over well before she cared for it to be. Wil had more willpower

"Hold on, bud," Wil mumbled as Cooper licked him on the face. Wil had stayed up way too late the night before talking to Rachel. Their conversation had been effortless, just like when they'd been texting. He'd often wondered if they met, how things would be between them. Wil knew he still had a lot to make up for, but Rachel opened the door for it to be possible.Cooper barked. Wil stretched and patted him on the head. "I hear ya. Let's go."Wil reached for his shorts and shirt and slipped them on before making his way out to the living room where he'd left Cooper's leash. His pup danced around his feet, excited to be going out. The poor guy left the small yard at his folks' place and now had to make do in his high-rise.

Now his dog, who'd been a champ on the trip, was licking him all over, excited to see him."Who's there?" Wil asked. Rachel forgot she'd started the joke."Theodore."His brows knitted together. "Theodore who?""Theodore wasn't open so I knocked."Wil's mouth tipped up in a grin. "How'd you get here?""Figured that was pretty obvious. I mean, I guess unless you're asking if I drove or not, then the answer is no. I don't even own a car. After getting here from the airport, I see that might be an issue. But since I have no driver's license..." She was rambling, but with Wil staring at her, she wasn't sure what else to do."Hey, my man. Good to see you again. I didn't realize you were back in town. Oh, cute dog."The pair of them turned to look at the guy who'd joined them."Dereck," Wil said, holding out a fist for a bump. "What's up?
