When Dee Dawson matches sexy mohawked guitarist Joel Gibbon, she knows it won’t be long before she’s him wrapped around her finger. No man has ever had the opportunity to withstand her … but Dee’s met her match in a new player like Joel.

Dee’s not the partnership type-not after seeing the pain “love” provides caused her friends and family-yet she’s desperate to make Joel desire her a lot more than other people. He quickly becomes an obsession, so when a reckless attempt to make him jealous ends in disaster, Dee becomes the damsel in distress she never wished to be. With her carefree world crashing down around her, the very last thing she needs is normally Joel’s pity.

But Joel is suddenly determined to prove he cares, no matter how hard Dee tries to drive him away, he won’t permit her shut him out. Right now the lady who swore she’d hardly ever say those three small words must choose between guarding her center and losing Joel permanently … or falling head over pumps for the tattooed rock and roll star of her dreams.
