Crash and Burn
BY: Michele Callahan
BLURB:
A
childhood promise has Chance Walker picking up a guitar once again. Sure, he's
been busy growing up, finishing college, and even law school. He made a promise
to his dying mother and he’s determined to keep it. While his guitar playing
dreams were big when he was a kid, his skill is rusty and he hires Erin
Michaelson to bring music back into his life. Not only is she incredibly
talented, she's one of the sexiest women he’s ever met. It's hard to focus on
correct finger position when her sweet scent threatens to drive him out of his
mind.
Less than twenty-four
hours after his first lesson he sees her again, but this time she’s on stage
using another name and seducing an entire audience of men. He played the
gentleman card once, and it got him nowhere. This time, all bets are off and
he’ll do whatever it takes to keep her. A single, sizzling backstage kiss will
change both of their lives forever, because Chance soon realizes that Erin is
not just an itch, she’s an obsession that he refuses to live without.
Erin Michaelson
spends her days teaching guitar and her nights on stage as her sexy alter-ego,
Eva James. Music is her dream, her passion. All she wants is to say goodbye to
a lifetime of scraping by, working two jobs, and paying for past mistakes. When
a major record label exec hears her band play, she gets her big break. But life
can be a real bitch, and meeting Chance now is just bad timing.
Problem #1: The
record label wants her to dump her band and move to L.A. Problem #2: She hadn’t
counted on Chance Walker and the scorching heat of that first kiss. And last
but not least is Problem #3: Is Chance really falling in love with the dull
guitar teacher, or is he really just lusting after the sexy Eva James?
Will success make all
of Erin's dreams come true? Or will falling in love make them both crash and
burn?
Excerpt:
Eva James, or Erin, or whatever name she wanted to call
herself, was a wild card. She burned bright, took chances, and followed her
heart. And he wanted to taste that wild side with her.
When Eva James disappeared down the hallway that led to the
restrooms, he got up off his barstool. He took one step before Mitchell’s hand
landed on his right arm and Jake’s on his left.
“Whoa. Where do you think you’re going?” Jake’s shit-eating
grin said he already knew the answer to that question.
“I’m going to get her.”
Derek burst out laughing. “Let him go. I gotta see this
train wreck.”
“Screw you, Derek.”
Even Mitchell was grinning now, but he let go of Chance’s
arm. “Go for it, brother. She’s going to love you, bad boy. Just so you know,
that tie of yours can be used for all kinds of things besides wearing it in
court.”
Derek was still chuckling. “We’ll have to pry her off your
rebel ass with a crowbar.”
Chance flipped them all off and headed for the side of the
stage to wait for her. He didn’t give a damn what any of his brothers said. So
what if she wasn’t his normal type? Forget normal. He wanted her. He looked,
and he wanted. End of story.
He was tired of playing it safe. Tired of taking care of
other people’s problems. He needed a damn break. He wanted her to rattle his
cage.
He wanted to talk to her, to touch her. And if she didn’t
run scared? He damn sure was going to get her into his bed.
