BLURB:
A childhood promise has Chance Walker picking up a
guitar once again. Sure, he's been busy growing up, finishing college, and even
law school. He made a promise to his dying mother and he’s determined to keep
it. While his guitar playing dreams were big when he was a kid, his skill is
rusty and he hires Erin Michaelson to bring music back into his life. Not only
is she incredibly talented, she's one of the sexiest women he’s ever met. It's
hard to focus on correct finger position when her sweet scent threatens to
drive him out of his mind.
Less
than twenty-four hours after his first lesson he sees her again, but this time
she’s on stage using another name and seducing an entire audience of men. He
played the gentleman card once, and it got him nowhere. This time, all bets are
off and he’ll do whatever it takes to keep her. A single, sizzling backstage
kiss will change both of their lives forever, because Chance soon realizes that
Erin is not just an itch, she’s an obsession that he refuses to live without.
Erin
Michaelson spends her days teaching guitar and her nights on stage as her sexy
alter-ego, Eva James. Music is her dream, her passion. All she wants is to say
goodbye to a lifetime of scraping by, working two jobs, and paying for past
mistakes. When a major record label exec hears her band play, she gets her big
break. But life can be a real bitch, and meeting Chance now is just bad timing.
Problem
#1: The record label wants her to dump her band and move to L.A. Problem #2:
She hadn’t counted on Chance Walker and the scorching heat of that first kiss.
And last but not least is Problem #3: Is Chance really falling in love with the
dull guitar teacher, or is he really just lusting after the sexy Eva James?
Will
success make all of Erin's dreams come true? Or will falling in love make them
both crash and burn?

EXCERPT
“Do you want to kiss me?”
Erin licked her lips. He was
asking her. Giving her control and being a gentleman about it. And that,
combined with the fact that she hadn’t been able to stop thinking about him
since he’d walked out of the shop yesterday, had her nodding her head before
she’d even answered his question.
“Yes.” Erin dropped her head back
with a soft moan as Chance’s lips traced heated patterns across her cheek. He
shifted slightly, holding her face still with gentle hands as he took his sweet
time lowering his mouth to hers.
She could hardly breathe. Her
whispered admission had sent her over the edge and into the dark abyss where
common sense and reason ceased to exist. He leaned forward and the kiss started
as a gentle exploration, as if he needed to coax a wild animal, like he was
afraid she’d run.
He didn’t taste her, he plundered
and explored. His kiss branded her with the faint taste of whiskey and heat. He
owned her mind and her body in that moment. He left her nowhere to hide and no
room to retreat. She was on fire and her world narrowed to the exotic taste of
his mouth, the strong arms that circled her waist, the aggressive heat of his
body pressed to hers, and the soft glide of his hair in her fists as she pulled
him closer, demanded he give her more.
She whimpered and the needy sound
barely registered. In some far away, logical place in her mind, she knew she’d
never made that sound before. It should have served as a warning, instead it
pushed her further into madness. She never wanted to stop…
