Publisher Description
A new adult novel from Entangled's Embrace imprint...
He promised he would never be an outlaw...
While searching for a member of the outlaw motorcycle gang who murdered his dad, Cain Allen is offered a boatload of cash to "handle" the stunning teen popstar Lincoln Todd. Although he doesn't need the headache of a high-maintenance celebrity, getting out of town will help him keep a low profile until he testifies against two of the killers.
Touring Europe with Lincoln proves to be more complicated than Cain anticipated, and despite his efforts, the line between their personal and professional lives blurs. She's sweet, smart, and totally unpredictable. And he loves it.
But Lincoln's association with Cain puts her in more danger than anyone could have imagined. When he joins forces with the Noir et Bleu Motorcycle Club to protect her, Cain discovers the lengths he's willing to go, and the person he's willing to become to protect the people he loves...
Customer Reviews
Who handled who?
James "Cain" Allen meets Tessa "Lincoln" Todd as he helps on her music video. She is a famous rock star with a bored and lonely attitude. He is a hard working college kid who is trying to find his father's killer.
Lincoln tells Cain she wants to run away and have a break. He talks her into being responsible and finishing her video shoot. Then, her manager pays him to talk her into the rest of her schedule. She wants to cancel her tour, and invites Cain along or she won't go.
European tour aside, Cain needs the money for his family. He decides to go with her. She think he is only there for the money, but he truly wants Lincoln to be okay. Her manager does not screen those he hires for her very well, it seems.
Cain is in the middle of dueling biker gangs. Has a baby sister who needs him at home, and Lincoln is very needy about wanting him to leave her. They end up being photographed around Paris, and now the biker gangs are in Europe trying to kill him.
To save everyone, Cain must find a way to solve the outcome and keep everyone safe. To keep himself safe from Lincoln, he tells her he still has a girlfriend. Will the hassles never end? There is so much to do and too little time to do it in.
Very clever story with a lot going on. Tons of surprises and a genuine romance brewing in the middle. Character development was a bit slow, but I enjoyed the journey.
