For Abby Renard, the plan was supposed to be simple—join her brothers’ band on the last leg of their summer tour and decide if she’s finally ready for the limelight by becoming its fourth member.

When he mistakes her for one of his groupie’s, Abby quickly lets him know she sure as hell isn't in his bed on purpose. Jake Slater never imagined the angel who fell into his bed would resist his charms by promptly kneeing him in the balls. Of course, the fact she seems like a prissy choir girl makes her anything but his type. So he is more than surprised when after betting Abby she wouldn’t last a week on their tour bus, she is more than willing to prove him wrong. But as Jake’s personal life begins to implode around him, he finds an unlikely ally in Abby. He’s never met a woman he can talk to, joke with, or most importantly make music with. As the week comes to a close, neither Abby nor Jake is ready to let go. Can a sweetheart Country songstress and a bad boy of Rock N Roll actually have a future together?

Mature Content Warning Recommended for ages 17+ due to language and sexual content. Not all men with a six-pack and a killer smile are man whores...

I wanted him-all of him, but when I got him, it wasn't at all what I expected. Novels describe men like Jesse to be dripping with sex. He was supposed to know where to put his hands, his mouth his tongue and...everything else. It was then I realized my life wasn't a novel, sadly, not every hero was good in bed... To be good in bed you need to practice. After all, Rome wasn't built in a day. To get the happy ending I needed (pun intended) Jesse O'Ryan was about to become my naughtiest little project.

And so the stage is set for a major showdown—which, along with a devastating, unexpected crisis and, perhaps, a miracle or two, just might change Grace's outlook on love, family, and her new life in the new South.
