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.
