Addison Wade co-owns Seduction, Portland's newest restaurant success story. She decides live music will draw more customers, but when Jake Keller walks in to audition for the weekend slot, her careful plans wobble. Addison recognizes him immediately from the posters that covered her high school bedroom walls. He's the bad boy type she's always fallen for and exactly the complication she can't afford right now. Jake left his rock star career five years ago and wants to focus on what matters most to him: making music. Working for this sharp-tongued, brilliant woman seems like the perfect setup. Convincing Adddie to hire him proves simple compared to showing her he wants a real relationship, not just a casual fling. When Addison finally starts trusting him, Jake's past resurfaces to threaten everything they've built. Addison must decide whether to protect herself by walking away or trust Jake enough to follow her heart despite the risks.
