âDid you want some help?â
His eyes glued themselves to the patch of skin above her panties, where her hand toyed with the shirt hem.
Damn. Her.
How could Shannon play games like this when their split had nearly killed him?
âNo, thanks,â he said, turning back to the makeshift shelter he was setting up. Seeing Shannon undressed had the power to make him stupid.
âThen Iâll just take my pilfered hotel soap and find someplace private to put this rainfall to work.â She waved a tiny white bar she must have picked up at the resort.
âShannon?â he called as she started to walk away.
She turned, her wet hair sliding against her shoulder as she looked at him expectantly.
âYou know youâre killing me, donât you?â
Her sole response was a smile, before she and her pink panties disappeared into the darknessâ¦.
Dear Reader,
Thereâs something sexy about a rock ân roll hero. I think we love our musicians because they are a new incarnation of the poet/troubadour. Their lyrics touch our hearts and speak to our experiences, setting our lives to song. And at the most basic level, what woman doesnât approve of the man who can move her hips?
For this book I decided to look beyond that cool rocker facade to the man beneath and see what it might be like to fall in love with a guy who is in the public eye. A guy women around the globe vie for. Of course, the story got a little more complicated when I gave my rocker a heroine who was every bit as in demand as him.
I hope you enjoy Shannon and Romeroâs journey. And the next time your own life journey takes an unexpected turn, keep in mind that sometimes being lost is the only way to find yourself.
Happy reading,
Joanne Rock

âEVERY SINGLE PERSON in this hotel is getting it on right now except me.â Shannon Leigh cradled her cell phone against one shoulder as she packed her suitcase in the exclusive Mexican seaside resort, her emotions in more disarray than her stale career. âItâs like the Cupid wedding theme ran wild and infected every employee and guest in the place. I just went to hunt down more towels, and even the maid is getting busy in the supply closet.â
âEeeww.â Shannonâs agent, Ceily, was back home in L.A. She started her day at 6:00 a.m. so Shannon hadnât felt terribly guilty about waking her at five to share the trauma of this Valentine weekend wedding from hell.
Shannonâs best friend had gotten married in a romantic private ceremony in La Paz on the Baja Peninsula and Shannon had been the maid of honor. Too bad sheâd agreed to the Cupid fest before the best manâher rock-star boyfriend of almost a yearâhad broken up with her. Sheâd been stuck watching him charm his way through the wedding, with adoring female guests throwing themselves at his feet wherever he went. Sheâd been due to finally escape the night beforeâuntil her charter flight had been canceled because of engine trouble. A situation Romero had heard about during the reception, promptly and publicly offering to drive her back to L.A. the following morning.
Now technically today.
How could she have refused gracefully without drawing more attention to a breakup that still had the tabloids buzzing three months after the fact?
Shannon had no idea how she would survive the long trip ensconced in a small sports car with one of the sexiest men in the known universe. And that wasnât just her opinion. Look up any poll on hot rockers and Romero Jinks topped the charts. She just wanted to get the hell out of the sex-drenched hotel and back to real life. Back to salvaging her imperiled career.
