These are the songs that inspired me when Tessa first meets Link & Pax
- Wicked Game by Chris Isaak
I was thinking about this one when they’re at the Rusty Nail and Link first notices Tessa. He’s intrigued by her attitude despite the fact she’s nervous. (And honestly, this is a song I listen to a lot when I’m working
on stories. There’s something so haunting about it.) - Unchained Melody by The Righteous Brothers
Tessa doesn’t realize it yet, but Link and Pax are about to change everything for her. - Hurt by Johnny Cash
When Tessa learns about the full betrayal of her brother and the awful things that he’s planning for her.
These speak to me of protection and possession when Link and Pax take her home and claim her as theirs
- Can’t Help Falling in Love by Elvis Presley
Even though they aren’t ready to admit it, Link and Pax are already becoming obsessed with Tessa. - Into My Arms by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
Tessa is struggling to trust Link and Pax, but deep down, she wants to believe she’s finally safe. - Come Away With Me by Norah Jones
When the boys offer her a choice to stay under their protection, or risk everything by running again. - Feeling Good by Nina Simone
Link’s confidence that he will win, no matter what it takes. (He’s one determined man!)
When Axels’s men come after her
Eyes on Fire by Blue FoundationLink and Pax realize Axel will never stop, and they take matters into their own hands.
- Kiss From a Rose by Seal
I always find this song so haunting. For me it reflects the growing tension between Tessa, Pax, and Link, the danger, the desire.
When the push and pull with Link and Pax becomes overwhelming for her
- Strange by Celeste
Why does Tessa so desperately crave their control? - Love Me Like You Do by Ellie Goulding
What’s not to love about this song? And Tessa finally stops resisting her desire. - Take My Breath by the Weeknd

Keeping her safe
- Dancing With a Stranger by Sam Smith & Normani
There’s no turning back. She’s already in too deep with these two men. - Save Your Love For Me by Nancy Wilson

Their wedding
- I’ve Got You Under My Skin by Frank Sinatra
The music that’s playing while Link and Pax are waiting for her. - A Thousand Years (instrumental violin and piano) by Christina Perri
This is the song that’s playing as she walks down the aisle to Link and Pax.
walking down the aisle to. - Something by the Beatles
Their first dance.
Their commitment
