Expected October 24, 2013
Two years ago, Mia had everything she thought she wanted. She loved her job, and her best friend Nicole was finally recovering from losing her family in a car accident. When they met rock star Zack Walters and given backstage pages for his concert in their hometown of Minneapolis, Mia had no idea she would get involved with the band’s drummer, Chase Harper. It was simple, fun, and exactly what Mia liked best – no strings attached.
Then Chase decided to change the rules and Mia did what she’s always done best: she ran.
Now she’s on her way to Los Angeles to help Nicole get ready for her wedding to Zack. The one thing she’s not looking forward to is seeing Chase again. With his sculpted muscles, strong hands and dark gray eyes that seem to know everything she’s thinking – Chase has the ability to make her forget. He also has the power to make her feel, something Mia refuses to let happen.
When everything around Mia’s life begins to crumble, and she keeps all of her secrets tucked close and hidden away, Chase is the one who steps in to help.
Because he has decided that he isn’t letting her go again. Not until she finally admits she’s his.
Excerpt: Just One Week
Chase’s POV
I smile into her neck when I feel her pulse quicken a little bit.
“Chase?” Her quiet voice sounds a little bit dry and really tired.
I slowly flick my tongue out and lick her neck and trail soft kisses down to her collarbone. My hand on her hip squeezes slightly, pulling her back into me so she can feel how much I want her.
Damn it, I just want her. All of her.
“What is it, babe?” I whisper into her throat when I realize she’s smiling a little bit and not moving away from me at all. In fact, I think she may have just relaxed into me a little bit more. “What do you need?”
I pull away from her slightly so I can look into her sleepy blue eyes. Her hair is a little messed up and her eyes are barely open, but I can still see that she wants me. Please, I plead with my eyes, don’t tell me you need a glass of water. Don’t tell me you want me to get the hell out of here.
But she doesn’t say any of those things. She just smiles and quietly, so quietly I almost ask her to repeat herself she simply says, “You.”
It’s all I need to hear. If she wants me, I’ll give her all of me. Every last piece of my body, my heart, and my soul. Anything she wants of mine is hers, I just don’t want her to fucking stomp all over it and give back pieces of me, leftover and broken, when she’s through with me.
With a devilish grin, I adjust her so she’s lying below me. “I’m all yours, babe.”

Just One Song
The girl in front of me with the pouty red lips and chocolate brown hair is a blurred image of the girl I used to be and I'm so tired of seeing her every day. I hate this girl-an outer shell of who I was who wears her despair all over her face. Nicole has stopped really living and is just existing. She has suffered a tragic loss and just cannot seem to move on. One night she spontaneously she takes the first step and it ends up changing her whole life. She goes to a bar with her best friend Mia who dares her talk to a guy...and she meets Zack. Turns out Zack is no ordinary guy...he is a popular rock star that was just trying not to get noticed. Nic is so out of the loop that she does not realize who he is at first and that immediately interests Zack.
Nic is strong despite what she has been through, but she was stuck between the past and present and cannot even think of the future. Her friend Mia has been by her side and pushes her to reenter life and take a chance on Zack. I loved sassy, adventurous Mia. She is the best friend that we all want to have. She is like a sister, a true confidante, kicks her ass when needed, and is always there to support her or challenge her. Mia just keeps pushing her along and before she knows it, she is attending concerts, backstage, and eventually on a tour bus and getting closer to Zack. But can she really let go of the past and fears and move forward?
Zack...Oh my! He is perfect! A rock star with a heart of gold. Every girls wants a piece of him. He is hot, sexy, talented, rich, and famous. But the real Zack is patient, loving, caring, and not afraid to share his feelings. He is not pretentious or arrogant, but is sweet, down to Earth, and charming. And he knows what he wants and is not afraid to go after it.
This girl is going to take some time and for some strange reason, I'm willing to wait for her to be ready.
I'm the luckiest man alive and I don't care if it makes me sound like a girl. I love her.
Together they are simply adorable, passionate, loving, and truly shared an amazing connection. Zack can read her like a book and see what she needs when the world gets too much for her. He understands her fears, insecurities, and pain from the past. And he is an understanding, caring support to her. And Nic gives Zack the love that he has been craving and a chance to be a man and not a Rock God. They just fit despite their different backgrounds and lifestyles. And they do have some common interests as well.
"I don't know if I can give you my whole heart Zack. They have so much of it already."
"If you can give me half as much as I love you, it will be more than enough."
And the band mates Chase, Jake, and Garrett are fun, lively, and supportive. I cannot wait for the next book Just One Week that will continue the relationship of Chase and Mia that we saw sort of developing in this one. And I have an inkling that we will see Jake get his love match and I have a theory on who his mate might end up being. All of the side characters had strong personalities and were completely endearing in their own ways. I got attached to each one of them.
Their journey was not always easy. They had challenges to face in the present and nightmares from the past. And their lives were very different. But it was a sweet story of second chances and new beginnings. This story illustrated the importance of appreciating what you have, showing people you love them, and living life to the fullest. It was tragic, sad, emotional, sweet, heartwarming, and inspiring. The characters were well developed, likable, and showed such personal growth. This story has unique plot elements, underlying emotional issues, and and flowed effortlessly. She writes in an engaging style with humor, depth, emotion, and passion. An amazing debut from Stacey Lynn.
