The seasoned journalist finds himself thrust back into the dangerous world he thought he’d left behind when an old flame reaches out in desperate need. Ellie’s trapped in a nightmare, her daughter Jenny is in danger, and her ruthless husband holds the keys to both their fates.

The clock is ticking, and with cold-blooded enemies closing in, Cole must outwit the con-men and untangle a twisted plot where no one can be trusted. Amidst the chaos, passion simmers, old wounds are reopened, and danger lurks in every shadow. With the aid of new allies, Cole presses on.

I never intended to pick up a naked hitchhiker wearing nothing but a guitar.

A guitar.

Really.

I don’t collect guys like that (don’t ask what kind of guys I do collect), but when you spot a blonde, tanned, sculpted man with a gorgeous smile and his thumb poking up and practically begging you to stop—you stop.

And I definitely never thought I’d be staring into the bright blue eyes of Trevor Connor, the lead singer for Random Acts of Crazy, an indie rock star I followed like the slobbering fileshare fangirl I am.

How he came to be in his birthday suit and lost six hundred miles from home is quite the tale, but how we fell in love is even more unreal.

Why do I hate Will Darcy? How much time do you have?

There was that day he basically insulted my acting. And then there’s the way he… exists. Plus, he’s infuriatingly arrogant, wholly unbearable, and drop-dead gorgeous.

I mean, the magazines think he’s gorgeous. Not me. Definitely not me. I hate his pretty face, his action hero arms, and his annoying kisses.

Oh. Did I forget to mention that? Don’t get too hot and bothered, it’s just for the stage. He’s cast as The Pirate King and I’m the unlucky maiden who he flings over his muscular shoulder.

It’s a tough job.

But even through Will hates my guts, his eyes tell another story. The way he looks at me sends a warm flutter down my belly. And since I swore to loathe him for all eternity, falling for him would be an extreme inconvenience.
