Lyrical Interludes

Ally Wilson should have been a slam dunk for VP until transplanted marketing executive Dirk Roberts takes what's rightfully hers. A dubious reputation dogs Dirk, and her boss wants her to keep an eye on him. One look from Dirk's searing sensual gaze and her world shifts. Dirk never intended to be in Los Angeles, but a shattered reputation forced him to take desperate measures. He wants to repair his name and get out of the sprawling city. Ally's haunting curves and undeniable appeal won't change that, much as he yearns for her. Their coming together is inevitable, as is the waiting disaster if their relationship becomes known. Can two damaged souls find happiness-or will their pasts destroy them?

From a young age, aspiring musician Jessica Baker has made it a point to never rely on anyone other than herself. After all, in her experience, people, along with success, are both fleeting. However, when Kai Halara joins her tour, all of her preconceived notions are demolished. Kai is a failure in the eyes of his industry. Intending to use Jessica's tour as a distraction while he determines his next move, he's soon at war with himself. His mind tells him to stay away, but his heart-and body-demand the opposite. Can their happiness survive when misunderstandings collide with electric attraction, and past drama resurges to threaten to destroy all they have created?
