Publisher Description
She’s a hell-raising rock princess on the run. He’s a sexy undercover cop who’s got her in his sights. Together, they’re about to make beautiful music.
Black leather skirt. Spiked blond hair. And a smile to stop a man cold. She’s Riley Callahan, the hell-on-wheels daughter of a rock superstar. When her famous father flees the country to avoid a tax evasion charge, Riley turns government freelancer to support herself—and is soon accused of leaking confidential information to the criminal underworld. That’s why U.S. marshal Charlie Zap is hot on her trail. He’s trying to stick close like a pair of skintight jeans, but follwing the ultimate party girl requires quick thinking and fancy footwork.
So what if this hunk in biker boots happens to be in the right place at the right time to save her life? Riley may not think she needs any help, but if she even tries to clear her father’s name, her new babysitter’s coming along for the ride. Who would have guessed that they’d end up cruising the country together in a pink Cadillac—visiting Zap’s endearing family and mixing with Elvis clones at Graceland? Soon enough, the biggest shock is what Zap’s doing to Riley’s heart.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Sassy and stylish, this fast-paced contemporary romance stars a tattooed, pierced, punk rocker heroine who matches wits with a U.S. Marshall. Fresh from an L.A. undercover assignment, Charlie Zap is new to Manhattan, which makes him the perfect cop to take over the surveillance of sexy Riley Callahan. Riley, the almost famous party-girl daughter of an exiled rock star, scratches out a living as a freelance shopper for the federal witness protection program. But the U.S. Marshall's office suspects her of using her contacts to glean information from confidential files and leak the material to underworld sources. It's Zap's job to catch her and bring her in, but the only way Zap can get close to Riley is to pretend he's a bodyguard sent by her exiled father. When Riley finds a key that may be a clue to her dad's disappearance, she coerces Zap into a sexually charged chase through middle America in a vintage pink Caddy, hoping to find what she needs to clear her dad's name. Side trips include Zap's family home, where Riley has a first-time taste of life's simpler pleasures, and an amusing but unproductive visit to Graceland. With its fresh, feisty characters and diverse settings, this past-meets-present tale will help Lane (Reinventing Romeo) win over a younger generation of romance readers.
