Antonio's Anticipation

Antonio Ryan was no stranger to Spring City, Ky, so when he received word, he was a finalist in the Twelve Drummers Drumming competition slated to take place there at Christmastime, he felt like he was going home. While his parents and most of his immediate family lived in Louisville, he moved to Nashville to pursue his dreams of being a professional musician after he finished college. The debonair dresser, full of attitude and swagger left the competition with a pocket full of cash and a new drum kit to wow Music City upon his return. But it was the phone call he received on Christmas Eve that would be the best Christmas gift he'd ever received.

Sierra McKnight, former FBI agent, had nothing to prove and everything to prove at the same time. As the newest hire at Phoenix Securities, Sierra's first assignment sends her to Nashville, Tenn., where she will accompany an up-and-coming country music band whose songs are topping chart after chart. As their head of security, she has trouble getting to know the drummer whose new reputation screams arrogant celebrity. The fans love Antonio...a little too much, it seems...and she must learn to protect the one person who inconveniently gets under her skin.

Sexy Antonio makes playing drums look easy and charming fans even easier, but when a stalker fan threatens his life, can he trust his security team and let Sierra in? Or will his career end faster than it began?
