I was seventeen when I met him by chance and our connection was made. Now here I am, twenty-three, and I'm one of the two actresses in the video for his band's latest single. Jesse Kingston is a tall, dark, and gorgeous temptation I'm finding hard to resist. It ends up not being as simple as doing a job and going home. It can't be when he continually makes his presence known with his not-so-innocent touches and sexy words. There is no avoiding him and after spending so much time with him, I'm not sure I want to. So, when he proposes a weekend together, knowing I should say no, I throw caution to the wind and instead I say yes. I'm going to ignore the warning signs and do what I normally wouldn't--I'm going to give in to my desire. I'm going to indulge my fantasies and give this sexy rocker what he wants and something he won't forget--me. The only question is: Is one weekend going to be enough? Will our time end up changing this bad boy? Or will it end up changing me? Disclaimer: This book contains remnants of a teenage crush. A straight-laced Hollywood actress. A sexy bad boy rockstar. Rockers who live and breathe sarcasm and sexual innuendos. Explicit wild monkey sex and dirty talk. Graphic language, frequent dropping of the F bomb, career changes, bossy parents, panty ripping, and rock n' roll. Not for the faint of heart. Heat level: white hot. This is a stand-alone novel with a HEA. No cliffhanger. less

You know how people say they woke up in Vegas married and you're like, how the hell could that possibly happen? Who does that? Well, us apparently… and the press is having a field day. Let's not even get started on the topic of my mother. Then there's my grandpa wanting to meet my new husband--that's not scary at all. On top of that, we're heading out on tour and I'm a nervous wreck--factor in the fact that Jesse's newly changed marital status doesn't seem to be an issue for the groupies... moreYou know how people say they woke up in Vegas married and you're like, how the hell could that possibly happen?

But the women who are ruining my current mood of "happy", well, they've got another thing coming. It's time to put these women in their place because nobody messes with my happily ever after. Disclaimer: This is not a dark romance. There will be minimal angst or drama. There will be lots of laughs, frequent dropping of the F-bomb, and crazy monkey sex. less

Should I risk it all or play it safe? CAGE: She’s my light, my saving grace. The night we came together I knew I could never live without her... moreSERA: He’s my protector, my confidante.

Ben She walked on the bus and my heart stopped beating. When she looked my way with that sassy smile, it came back to life. Looking at her, getting to know her, I know she's the one for me—but she's so young. Her life is just starting and I've already done my fair share of living. I want her to be mine but is it right for me to ask her to settle down before she's really had a chance to live? Nicole He keeps watching me. I can't help but look back... moreBen She walked on the bus and my heart stopped beating. When she looked my way with that sassy smile, it came back to life.

I want her to be mine but is it right for me to ask her to settle down before she's really had a chance to live? Nicole He keeps watching me. I can't help but look back. He's gorgeous: tall, messy dark hair, and those intensely blue eyes captivating me. My life hasn't been easy by any means. Because of that I've had to grow up much faster than normal women do. I think that's why our age difference doesn't bother me at all. I wish it didn't bother him because this attraction isn't going away anytime soon and, in truth, I don't want it to. He could very possibly be my happily-ever-after and no matter how much he tries, I'm not going to let him talk me out of it until we give this a fighting chance. less

It's time for the Kingston triplets to be born. I've heard stories of how women have their water break or go into labor in their home. That's not how it happened with Lucy and our babies. As long as Lucy and the babies are okay, I'll be okay--even if we are surrounded by the Russo Famiglia. But nothing has been normal for us from the day we met. So why would it start now? ***BONUS: A Very Xander Christmas 2, Rockstar #6.5 *** This is not a standalone... moreIt's time for the Kingston triplets to be born.

We met at the age of eight. That day on the playground was a turning point in my life. She stole my heart with just a glance as she sang off key. But nothing’s perfect. I figured out pretty quickly she was too good for me, so I let her go. 
I thought I was doing the right thing--until I realized I wasn’t. 
She was my everything and without her I was nothing. When we reunited, my heart became whole. My life had meaning. We loved fiercely and completely. Life was perfect... moreWe met at the age of eight. That day on the playground was a turning point in my life. She stole my heart with just a glance as she sang off key. But nothing’s perfect.

I thought I was doing the right thing--until I realized I wasn’t. 
She was my everything and without her I was nothing. When we reunited, my heart became whole. My life had meaning. We loved fiercely and completely. Life was perfect. The more success I gain with Falling Down, the further away I’m pulled from Tera. But she gains success of her own, and the distance grows immeasurably. She wants me to live my dreams and I want the same for her. We both know our love is strong enough to survive time and distance. Then the unthinkable happens and nothing will ever be the same again. less

As a child, I trusted no one. Then I found my best friends. They gave me a family and saved me from a life of abuse that still has me messed up. Then one of those best friends captured my heart. Lincoln, tough yet tender, a walking contradiction. He loves me too—flaws and all. He’s the most patient man on the earth and understands my PTSD. What he doesn’t understand is why our being intimate makes me feel “dirty”. He’s not one of the men who abused me, and he’d never hurt me... moreAs a child, I trusted no one.

Lincoln, tough yet tender, a walking contradiction. He loves me too—flaws and all. He’s the most patient man on the earth and understands my PTSD. What he doesn’t understand is why our being intimate makes me feel “dirty”. He’s not one of the men who abused me, and he’d never hurt me. I know this. I believe it. Still, the “dirty” creeps in even though I know what we do together is anything but. He’s here now and he’s going to stay. It’s time for me to talk to someone professionally. I need to shed my unhealthy past in order to have a healthy future with the man I love. If I don’t, I just might lose the best thing that’s ever happened to me—and there’s not enough therapy in the world to get me through that. less

The Rockstar life isn’t always rainbows and roses. Throw in the Russo Famiglia and you get darkness where light should be.Sometimes the darkness turns to betrayal.Sometimes people aren’t who you thought they were.Sometimes people do things you never thought them capable of.Sometimes it’s better to walk away.But sometimes it’s not that easy.Sometimes people don’t take ‘no’ for an answer.Sometimes it’s make or break.For Meggie and Trace, it’s time to decide: is it all... or nothing?

It's eleven years later, and we're still living separate lives. While I know she isn't comfortable with my lifestyle after everything she’s been through, I can't be without her anymore.

She's my heartbeat.
 She's my every breath.

I want to know every detail of her life. I want to be part of it all. I want to work as hard to get there as she did to get here. 

She's always been my girl—even at the age of eight... moreIt's eleven years later, and we're still living separate lives. While I know she isn't comfortable with my lifestyle after everything she’s been through, I can't be without her anymore.
