Troubles are piling up for Molly MacBain. Between navigating the moods of an increasingly sassy teenage daughter, grappling with money problems, and dealing with her daughter’s deadbeat dad, Molly doesn't need any more stress in her life. Her best friend’s wedding should be a welcome chance to relax, but Molly’s dismayed to discover her friend’s new brother-in-law is her idol—country music superstar Anders Ostergaard. After spending years on the country music circuit herself, Molly can't help but have a fangirl moment when she meets Anders in real life.
Anders flies to Key West to attend his brother’s wedding and keep a low profile after a Vegas tragedy plasters his face to the cover of every tabloid. He has strict rules about getting involved with fans, but with her sharp wit and refreshing openness, Molly draws him in like no one has before, even as the shadow of his recent scandal stalks closer.
Their flirtation is put on hold when Molly’s daughter witnesses a murder and winds up in Jamaica. Anders offers Molly his private plane, and together they race for Montego Bay, dodging the hit man who's hell-bent on eliminating everyone who knows of his crimes.
When danger and proximity spark a blazing romance, Molly can't help wondering about the future. Can a fan and her idol build a lasting love? Or is their relationship just a fling fueled by the sultry Caribbean breeze? And most importantly—can she survive long enough to find out?

Excerpt:
Molly
spoke into the mic. “I’m going to do one more number with the band before I
resume my maid of honor duties, which means I’m gonna stuff my gut with Oscar’s
delicious food and enjoy getting drunk with the rest of y’all.” Over the
chuckles of amusement, she thanked everyone for listening and reminded them
they could come see her two nights a week at Dixie’s.
The
band teased the next song by playing a long version of the intro while Big Roy
returned to the front of the stage and adjusted the second mic stand to his
height. Molly moved her stool aside and raised her own stand.
“The
bride’s father came to me a couple weeks ago and asked if he could request a
song.” She pointed to Mitch who grinned back at her through his handlebar
mustache. “When he said he’d like me to sing one of his favorites, I thought
for sure he was gonna to ask for a Zeppelin tune. Or maybe some Aerosmith.”
The
audience laughed.
“Who
knew you were a little bit country, Mitch?”
Mitch
cupped his mouth to shout over the music but his words were drowned out. “Love
me some Dolly.”
“It’s
a duet, so Big Roy is gonna help me out—”
But
Roy was stepping back from the mic so that Anders could take his place. Molly’s
stomach dipped. She frowned slightly in confusion as Anders grinned and winked
at her.
The
moment he stepped in front of the microphone, the audience went wild. They knew
what was coming before Molly did.
Anders
waited for the noise to die down. “I have to thank Roy for letting me sit in on
this one. You see, Molly promised me I could sing with her tonight and I
thought I better jump in here and grab my chance while I can.”
Facing Molly, Anders trapped
her with his mischievous blue gaze. His mouth quirked into a teasing smile. She
was used to people dwarfing her, but Anders wasn’t only a big, strapping man,
he was larger than life. Her heart raced and her mouth went dry. She reached
for the glass of whisky and knocked back the rest of it like a shot. This was
happening. She was really about to sing with her idol.
