At seventeen, Hannah Montgomery tripped down the stairs into the arms of her favorite rock god, Nathaniel Fox. So she kissed him, of course. But Nate reluctantly said she was too young. Hannah swore that one day, she'd have him, just once. Nine years later, when his career hits rock bottom, Nate needs Hannah's PR talents and passion to get him back on top of the music world. Their vow of "just once" to get the lust out of their systems spills over into explosive sexual encounters hotter than anything Hannah ever fantasized about. But Hannah's job of making Nate a superstar again clashes with the image of a working girl on his arm-and worse, without Hannah by his side, the temptations of the road might send Nate back into a downward spiral. Will their final song be a ballad of heartbreak or a chart-topping rocker about the power of true love?
