It’ll be anything but a headache dealing with the entitled, washed-up rock star she used to worship before she knew better.

From award-winning and international best-selling author Melanie A. Smith comes a standalone steamy contemporary romance about a rock star, a former fan, and the real meaning of redemption.

Kristoffer “West” Westberg is just out of rehab and ready to reclaim his rock-god status. But when his return to fame is threatened by a former fan turned rock magazine writer — and huge critic of him and his band — West is forced to reckon with the reality that he’ll need to prove himself before earning his redemption.

Max Marshall is feisty, a little too honest for her own good, and so not here to babysit a fallen rock star. And nobody has fallen farther in her mind that Kristoffer Westberg. So when she’s forced to catalog his so-called “apology tour,” she has little hope that it’ll be anything but a headache dealing with the entitled, washed-up rock star she used to worship before she knew better.

If West hopes to have a snowball’s chance in hell of changing Max’s — and his fans’ — minds, he’s got some serious groveling to do. Will he manage to fake it till he makes it, or will he be exposed as the lost cause everyone is convinced he is? And will he learn the real meaning of redemption in time to win Max’s trust and her heart?

Finding His Redemption

Excerpt

A few days later, I find myself back in the conference room discussing the apology tour project with Alexsis while we wait for West and the production company guy to show.

“So, like, what’s your deal with West?” Alexsis asks, veering abruptly off the topic of who will research what.

“We don’t have a deal,” I reply defensively.

She tilts an eyebrow. “You so have a deal.”

I shrug. “I was just a fan of the band for a long time, and then he broke them up. Kinda pissed me off and I don’t pay attention to them anymore. End of story.”

“Cute. But I meant now, not then.”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“I’m talking about the sexual tension I could practically smell across the office both times he was here.”

I wrinkle my nose in disgust. “Then sexual tension must smell a lot like hostility because there’s a lot of that going in both directions,” I reply firmly.

“Oh please,” Alexsis scoffs. “It’s schoolyard basics. Boys only tease you when they like you.”

I look her straight in the eye. “That’s bullshit. Boys tease you to get a reaction out of you so they can fulfill their own need to feel in control. West is angry because I’m a female who doesn’t want to jump his bones. So he teases me to feel like he has some control over me. Same reason he wants me to do this whole ‘apology tour’ crap.”

“Well, that’s an interesting theory,” comes a voice from the door.

I look up to find West smirking at us.

For a moment, I’m tempted to be embarrassed. But you know what? Fuck that.
