Part of Stage Dive, book 2
First published 2014
Mal Ericson pounds the drums for Stage Dive, a rock band known worldwide. His wild reputation threatens to derail his career, so he decides a wholesome girlfriend will fix his image problems. He offers to pay Anne Rollins to pretend they're dating. Anne grew up with Mal's posters covering her bedroom walls, never imagining she'd meet him in person. She desperately needs money to solve her financial crisis. The arrangement seems straightforward: she acts like his girlfriend, he pays her bills, and both get what they need. But Anne worries about getting involved with a party-loving rock star, even temporarily. Mal assumes he can keep things simple and professional. Neither expects their fake relationship to stir up real feelings. Anne must decide if she can handle dating her teenage crush when the cameras aren't rolling. Mal faces a choice between his carefully constructed image and the woman who might actually understand him.
