Now that Lucas has declared his love for her, Sienna is sure the drama between them is over.
She’s not afraid of Lucas’s ex-wife or whatever secret the other woman is holding over him. For two blissful days—the remainder of Sienna’s contract with Lucas—they hole up in a vacation house in the mountains of Tennessee, consuming each other. At the end of their stay, Lucas comes to Sienna with a proposition: his band, Your Toxic Sequel, is going on tour with Wicked Lambs, and he wants her with him the entire time. Sienna agrees to work wardrobe and be his official girl.


Life on the road is different from anything Sienna has ever known. Not only does she have to deal with Lucas’s band members, but she’s also forced to be around Cilla, the lead singer of Wicked Lambs, who’s clearly in love with Lucas. Despite horny band mates and a persistent gorgeous rock goddess determined to sink her claws into Lucas, Sienna stays by his side.


Then the threats start.


Lucas’s ex-wife Sam isn’t happy that he’s moved on, and Sam begins harassing Sienna—everything from threatening emails to phone calls and even fake accounts on Your Toxic Sequel message boards slamming her and spreading vicious rumors. Sienna keeps this from Lucas since she knows how bad Sam is for his music.


It’s not until Sienna is attacked by a crazed YTS fan hired by Sam, and Sam starts to aim her verbal threats at Sienna’s grandmother, that Lucas finally reveals his secret. And it’s a big one...

EXCERPT

“Why did you make me leave?” I ask Lucas a little over an hour later. He’s several inches away from me on the oversized bed, with the back of his finger stroking my right palm in circular motions. It feels good, right. I pull the sheets over my breasts and turn my head to look at him. It’s dark outside, and in the bedroom too, but I can easily make out his frown thanks to the sliver of light coming from beneath the bathroom door. “What happened back in Atlanta?” I whisper.

“Does it matter now?”

I sink my teeth into my bottom lip to stifle a snippy reply. How can he even ask me that? One moment we were making plans that would turn our temporary arrangement into a permanent and completely non-professional one once we returned to Los Angeles and the next he was telling me I needed to leave. “Yes, it does matter now,” I say calmly.

“Because I was afraid.”

“Of Samantha?”

He immediately corrects me. “Of what she might do to you.” As if to emphasize his point, he twists a strand of my hair between his fingers before pressing his lips to it. “She would’ve fucked with you just to get back at me.” He drops the lock of hair and runs the pad of his thumb across my lips, the corner of his mouth lifting when I release a little moan. “I couldn’t let that happen.”

I start to sit up, but the crimson-colored blindfold that’s still wrapped around my left wrist keeps my arm rooted in place. Lucas uses this opportunity to slide closer to me, tugging the sheet back down to my waist. He bends over me and glides the tip of his tongue around my belly button.

There’s no way in hell I’m letting him do this to take my mind off of Atlanta.

“I’m a big girl, Lucas,” I say in an even voice. But my toes dig into the sheets.

“Sam is a crazy one, though.”

Using my free hand, I tuck my fingers under his chin and force his gaze up to mine. “What does she have on you?”
