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…
