Synopsis
There's no such
thing as too much fun…
Wrong.
Incredibly,
immeasurably, categorically false.
Try: It's all
fun and games until someone ends up in the tabloids.
Again.
Kade Edenfield
was rock royalty. If every rock god in history gathered for dinner, his seat
would be at the head of the table. He was that good. His band was elevated to a
level few ever reached, and he was having the time of his life.
Until one
misstep too many landed him on the front page of every gossip rag around the
globe, and the band's label decided to saddle them with a PR priss whose sole
mission in life was to suck the fun right out of his.
He wanted her
gone.
Until he
realized he just plain wanted her.
Aubrey Taylor
didn’t ask to be assigned to babysit a band full of troublemakers, but she
wasn’t given a choice. Wanted or not, she intended to fix the mess they’d made.
She’d do it quickly, efficiently, and then she’d get the hell out of there.
Unfortunately, after meeting their openly hostile singer—the one with the
notoriously menacing stare—it was clear she was in over her head. When Kade
made a point to challenge her at every turn, unafraid of using intimidation to
get her to back down, she found herself in even deeper trouble.
While she
‘officially’ resented and feared him, their power struggle secretly turned her
on.
She desperately
wanted to win their little standoff, but what was she supposed to do when she
realized she wanted him even more?
Excerpt
I turned back to
the table, not wanting to look at Kade. "Are you aware of how many groups
have formed strictly for the two of you?" I asked Kane, navigating away
from the hoo-ha pic as quickly as possible and looking up the largest group I'd
found. "This one is dedicated strictly to the pursuit of 'doubling down'
with the Edenfield twins. It's scary how many thousands—thousands—of members
are in this group. All looking to hook up with the two of you. I only found it
because the recent pics of Kade have been photoshopped so many times by this
group. They're using a mirror image of Kade, shifting it until it looks like
both of you are there, then adding themselves to the pic so they appear to be
sandwiched between the two of you. And some of them look startlingly real.
That's how I discovered the group to begin with, I was half-convinced the pics
were genuine when I first saw them."
My fingers flew
over the keys, navigating the discussion boards. "They even have 'elite'
and 'platinum' members who all swear they have hooked up with at least one of
you—those are platinum—and sometimes both of you—that would be the
highly-coveted elite status." I rolled my eyes, scrolling the list. It was
suspiciously long, which made it even less believable than it already was.
Kane leaned
over, eyeing the list. "I'd like to think I'd remember all of those."
"Yeah, but
a few might be legit." This from Kade.
Kane and I both
spun to look at him.
"The fuck,
dude?" Kane cut his eyes to me. "That's on the 'need to know' list
and she didn't need to know."
I sat there for
a minute trying to school my expression so that they couldn't see the shock on
my face. My mind was trying to formulate a response but I couldn't conjure a
single appropriate reaction.
"Oh, I'm
sure she already knows all of our dirty little secrets. How else can she be
expected to fix us if she doesn't know exactly how fucked up we really
are?" He glared at me. "Bet that's why she's so afraid. She's seen
all the skeletons in the closet."
"She didn't
know, dumbass. Look at her.” Kane sounded concerned enough that I was
momentarily convinced he’d start snapping his fingers in my face to try and
check my response. “She's… I don't know what to call it… stunned?
Appalled?"
"Intrigued?" Kade hungrily dragged his gaze along my face and neck.

Broken Pieces, as well as the Thrill of the Chase series. The first TotC

rural town in North Carolina where the only activity is the rhythmic color
change of the solitary stoplight and a very real threat of being carried away
by mosquitoes. The only alternative to terminal boredom is writing, making life
interesting if only on the page.

writing, she’s trying to make a dent in her TBR pile. Given that she’s
constantly adding new titles to the list, the chances of her ever finishing are
slim.
