Never look back…unless that’s where your heart belongs.
Love and Friendship, Book 2
Julia
Maxwell was a seize-the-moment party girl until the night she spent
with up-and-coming rocker Ryan Callander. From that moment, she was a
one-man woman. Pity he hasn’t kept with the program.
Tired
of the secrets that have kept her out of the press and Ryan’s fans
happy, angry with mounting evidence of infidelity, Julia is older,
wiser, and determined to divorce his cheatin’ ass.
Ryan’s
long European tour had more than its share of hard knocks—one of which
landed on his head when he was mugged. Divorce papers waiting for him at
home are a shock that fills in some of the holes in his sketchy memory.
But it could be too late to salvage his marriage.
If
Ryan thinks flirtatious smiles, seductive touches, and hot-and-heavy
kisses are going to smooth things over, Julia’s got a hammer with his
name on it. To her surprise, he picks it up, determined to rebuild a
bright future for both of them. But the past is lurking with some
missing pieces that could bring their hearts crashing down.
Warning:
Contains a pissed ex-stripper turned burlesque dancer, a bunch of nosy
friends and a smooth-talking rocker with one thing on his mind. Stripper
poles and skimpy costumes may be involved.

“You
went to your family christening over Anniversary weekend. Julia and I
went to Fiji for a four day break and married while we were there.”
“Congratulations.”
“She’s
served divorce papers on me,” Ryan said with a snarl, anger warring
with the jagged knife slicing into his brain. He loved her, damn it.
“I’m not letting her go without a fight.”
Caleb’s
grin lit up his face. “And I worried I’d be bored taking a three-month
break.” He rubbed his hands together. “This should be fun.”
“There’s nothing funny about a divorce.”
The
amusement quit Caleb. “I know that, man, but I know you. Julia won’t
stand a chance. She’ll be putty in your hands again in days. I’ll be
your wingman.”
Ryan’s
hackles rose and his fingers balled to fists. “You won’t be putting
your hands on my wife again. That was a one-time thing.”
Caleb
raised his hands in surrender, his gaze steady, reassuring, and some of
the tension seeped from Ryan. Caleb was his friend, not the enemy.
“Why
don’t we go back to the apartment, grab a few hours’ sleep then stake
out her place. You can confront her when we run her to ground.”
It
was a sensible solution, despite his need for immediate action. He
hesitated before admitting to his exhaustion. The damn headache had
taken hold, and his skull thumped like the crazy beat of Neil’s drums
during a solo spot. “Yeah, okay. Sounds like a plan.”
Down but not out. Julia was his wife. His woman, and soon no one would doubt it, least of all her.
