Long before I wrote romance or even read romance, I watched romance. This early
introduction was courtesy of my mother. She loved Jane Austen like a
mosquito loves blood. Okay, not the best simile, but you get my point. She
watched Pride and Prejudice on the regular, the original BBC unabridged
version starring Colin Firth. Remember the part when Colin, i.e. Mr. Darcy,
plunges into the lake and walks back to Pemberly, wet shirt clinging to his
body? Sigh. That was it. I was a goner.
Soon enough, I was pilfering my motherβs historical romance novels seeking that
same little thrill. Eventually historical romance evolved to science fiction
romance, to contemporary romance to paranormal romance. Really whatever I could
get my greedy little hands on. My voracious appetite for reading romance lead me
to writing it. I donβt believe there can be too much romance in the world. Love
is so inspirational. Why not try to create it myself? Being a romance writer is
the best job in the world. And I have Jane Austen to thanks for that.
Addison Wanks, rock βnβ rollβs favorite daughter, is good at keeping secrets.
Secret One
Sheβs responsible for the long-standing feud between her fatherβs band, Wanks
and Janks, and younger band Wild Minds. She may or may not have let Wild Mindsβ
sexy bad-boy lead singer Warren defile her backstage at a concert. Okay, she
totally did.
Secret Two
Sheβs supposed to be attending college but instead skips town to follow Wild
Minds on their European tour. Addy adores Warren Price.
Secret Three
Europe doesnβt go so well. Her sexy lead singer turned out to be king of
a**holes. Heβs arrogant, demanding and controlling. Addy loathes Warren Price.
Oh, well.
Secret Four
Fast forward a few years and Addy is planning to attend her father's farewell
tour when she hears the newsβWild Minds is back in the good graces of Wanks and
Janks. The two bands will be headlining together. This is going to make avoiding
Warren difficult. Especially since it seems Warren doesn't want to be ignored.
He also doesn't want a divorce. That's right, Addy is married to the Wild Minds
front man. Shh. Don't tell.
What will happen when all Addyβs secrets are revealed?

Charlotte West writes romance about strong heroines and the sexy alpha males
who love them. She lives in Washington state with her husband and very large dog
(think miniature pony size). She spends way too much money on books, and way too
much time reading.
She has a degree in Science and a Master's in
Education, neither of which she is currently using but is still paying for.
Occasionally, she moonlights as a YA author.
