Tyrone Diamond doesn’t trust the media. Too often, reporters fabricated full-blown scandals out of nothing more than a single scrap of information or a complete rumor, and he intends to stay as far from them as his profession will allow. But when a journalist arrives to travel with KWESTT for a series of in-depth articles on the group, Tyrone realizes he’ll have to keep an eye on the attractive, nosy woman to ensure none of his friends become the next victim of the tabloids. Sam Michaels is not happy to be assigned to a fluff entertainment feature. She’s on the trail of another big story and KWESTT is not it. But to keep her boss happy—and her job—she’ll have to shadow the popular music group to write the articles. She likes the assignment even less than she likes music, but if she digs deep enough, she might uncover the real stories behind the entertainers’ wholesome, family-friendly façades. Everybody has secrets, and she won’t let Tyrone’s handsome face distract her from finding them. Can a mistrustful musician and a jaded journalist discover that although some secrets are better kept, some are better shared? Or will past experiences and old prejudices keep them from discovering the best secret of all? Love. less
