Under the Rose

As New York City's architect on the rise, Cassie Fitzgerald has it together--except in the romantic relationship department. She's a very sensible daughter of Ireland, so her best friend and business partner Fred should know better--but he thinks his childhood buddy might be the man for Cassie.

Inevitably worlds collide. Fred's pal happens to be up and coming rock star Elliott Samson. When Fred practically drags Cassie to a concert of Elliott's, she can't help but be impressed with Elliott's performance and presence--he's hot, all right. But Cassie is overwhelmed by the crush of fans, besieged by paparazzi and unprepared for Elliott's celebrity friends.

And he has demons. But Cassie is falling for him...
