Rozalie thought she knew the world of music journalism-until she stepped into the world of Valentine, the enigmatic and alluring lead singer of one of the biggest rock bands of the decade. At just twenty-two, Rozalie has built a reputation for getting even the toughest artists to open up, but nothing prepared her for Valentine's magnetic charm and disarming confidence.
What starts as a professional interview quickly blurs into something far more personal. Val's sultry glances and flirtatious challenges pull Rozalie into a game she never intended to play. The backstage shadows become a stage for secrets, leaving Rozalie questioning her role as the interviewer-or maybe, for the first time, she's the one being revealed.
In the depths of flashing lights, smoky venues, and whispered conversations, Rozalie must decide how close she's willing to get to the fire. But as she follows Val behind closed curtains, she discovers that some attractions are as dangerous as they are irresistible.
