Social media consultant, Eve Everett, is less than thrilled when
her business partner hooks them up with a job covering celebrity rock band
Arsenal. Their new lead singer, Devon Quinn, is the man who broke her
heart five years ago. But there’s no way
Eve can turn down the assignment. It’s the big break their fledgling company
needs.
To boost Arsenal’s social
media presence the band’s manager wants intimate coverage, especially of
Devon, which means traveling with the
band in their tour bus while they promote
their new album. It’s not long before
Devon tries to rehash the past but Eve would rather leave it buried where it
is.
When Eve is asked to be
part of a music video, she decides it’s a great opportunity to reap some
revenge by showing Devon what he’s missing. But soon she’s the one losing
control. Will Devon once again claim her heart as well as her body?
Excerpt:
“It’s
good to see you again, Eve,” he said softly so the others wouldn’t pick up on
it. He knew she wouldn’t want to hear
it. It couldn’t be helped, but it just
had to be said.
Her head snapped up, eyes wide.
“That’s what I wanted to say the
other night, but you didn’t give me a chance.”
Big mistake.
Her eyes narrowed. “I didn’t give you a chance? Then I’d say we’re even.”
“Look, Eve, things didn’t happen
the way you’re thinking. It wasn’t like
that.” He set the bottom of Tommy’s
guitar on the floor, his hand on the neck, and leaned closer in to talk to her.
“The way I’m thinking?” she
repeated. Standing up straight, she stuck
one foot out to the side and said in a low hiss, “Look, Devon, the facts are
the facts. You left and I never heard
from you again. Not once. It has nothing to do with the way I’m thinking.”
He tensed. It was happening again. She was misunderstanding him. “No, look, that’s not what I mean, okay?”
“Oh, then what do you mean?” She cocked her head at him and waited.
“It’s…it was hard on the road, to
keep in touch with anyone, for a lot of reasons. You don’t know what it was like. I mean we were bouncing around from place to
place, driving for long periods of time and then having to work until really
late at night. It was pretty much
impossible to communicate. Besides, you
had no answering machine back then, remember?”
She visibly puffed up. “I see, so it’s my fault you couldn’t
communicate with me?”
“I’m not saying it was anyone’s
fault, Eve. Just that there was no way
to call.” He felt relieved. He had finally been able to tell her, to
explain. Maybe now she would
understand. Well, when she calmed down
at least.
“And you couldn’t write a
letter?” She spoke quietly but the
words dripped acid.
She had him there. Even though she was several inches shorter he
suddenly felt very small. He looked down
and stuck a hand in his pocket, not knowing what to say. That was an even more complicated topic.
Her
cold eyes were on him. The silence
stretched on for another moment. Before
he could gather any other words to try to explain she turned and headed back up
front, her ponytail slapping him in the face as she went.
