Description

"An intense, emotionally charged, and erotically driven battle-of-wills romance"—Publishers Weekly

Being a superstar in the hottest new band, Toxsin, can be a dangerous gig, as guitarist Ramsey finds out when he ends up with a tattoo he definitely didn't ask for in a very intimate location. Now he needs a tattoo rescue from artist, Jewel—and maybe a little something more.

Ramsey's reputation as a bad-boy rocker is exceeded only by his dedication to his music. When a jilted groupie gets back at him for a one-night stand with an intimate—and completely inappropriate—tattoo, he needs it fixed, and fast.

When a high-profile tattoo job lands Jewel an invite on Toxsin's latest tour, she can't say no. What she's really worried about is ruining the gig by hooking up with the first guy to completely rock her world. She knows she should resist—Ramsey's not the kind to stick around for a morning after. But the way he makes her feel could be worth any risk.

        Ryder’s second Rock Band contemporary (after Rock Me Two Times) is an intense, emotionally charged, and erotically driven battle-of-wills romance between an egotistic megastar guitarist and a struggling, talented tattoo artist. While on tour in San Francisco, Ramsey walks into a 24-hour tattoo parlor for an immediate tattoo refresh. To his surprise, he’s gripped by Jewel’s artistic talent, her ability to see beyond his public persona, and an attraction he doesn’t quite understand. Excited to make her art more visible, Jewel is conflicted: the raw sexual connection she feels with Ramsey is powerful, but she doesn’t fully trust him with her heart. Adding that to the struggle Ramsey feels between his public persona and his private personality makes for a tumultuous relationship between the two artists. Tempers flare and emotions explode, but Ramsey has one more chance to ensure Jewel knows just how precious she is to him. A smoothly flowing story and a made-for-each-other couple will enthrall series fans and new readers alike. Agent: Jill Marsal, Marsal Lyon Literary

        Jewel's world is turned upside down late one night when members of the band Toxsin enter the 24-hour tattoo shop in which she works. Tasked with covering up an embarrassing tattoo for Ramsey, the band's brooding guitarist, Jewel quickly designs a perfect tattoo. Impressed by her artistic ability and unable to resist the sparks between them, Ramsey invites her to come on tour. With nothing but her heart to lose, Jewel reluctantly agrees. She does her best to resist Ramsey's persistent advances but is unable to deny the heat between them. She knows that Ramsey respects her as an artist and as a woman, and he brings her pleasure she never knew existed. The pair soon realizes that there is more to the other than meets the eye, but Ramsey's bad-boy past threatens their fragile new relationship. Ryder's second installment in her Rock Band series is just as sexy, raw, and devourable as Rock Me Two Times (2015), with alpha-male characters and a strong and independent heroine.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2016, American Library Association.)
