She Thinks Her Ex Is Sexy...

She Thinks Her Ex Is Sexy...
Joanne Rock

Shannon Leigh didn't look back when her rock-star lover split.Even though they had the most heart-stopping sex imaginable, Romero Jinks just wasn't the one for her. But then she and her ex are thrown together for a friend's wedding—in sensual Mexico! Shannon forces herself to resist Romero's megawatt sex appeal until they leave. . . . Only to get stranded in the middle of the desert!Now she's confronted by Romero's gloriously shirtless state. Before long, she's screaming in pure bliss under the hot sky. It's a scorcher of a reunion. Yet Shannon's determined they'll go their separate ways once they're rescued. Because someone so wrong for her can't possibly be right. . . right?

“Did you want some help?”

His eyes glued themselves to the patch of skin above her panties, where her hand toyed with the shirt hem.

Damn. Her.

How could Shannon play games like this when their split had nearly killed him?

“No, thanks,” he said, turning back to the makeshift shelter he was setting up. Seeing Shannon undressed had the power to make him stupid.

“Then I’ll just take my pilfered hotel soap and find someplace private to put this rainfall to work.” She waved a tiny white bar she must have picked up at the resort.

“Shannon?” he called as she started to walk away.

She turned, her wet hair sliding against her shoulder as she looked at him expectantly.

“You know you’re killing me, don’t you?”

Her sole response was a smile, before she and her pink panties disappeared into the darkness….

Dear Reader,

There’s something sexy about a rock ‘n roll hero. I think we love our musicians because they are a new incarnation of the poet/troubadour. Their lyrics touch our hearts and speak to our experiences, setting our lives to song. And at the most basic level, what woman doesn’t approve of the man who can move her hips?

For this book I decided to look beyond that cool rocker facade to the man beneath and see what it might be like to fall in love with a guy who is in the public eye. A guy women around the globe vie for. Of course, the story got a little more complicated when I gave my rocker a heroine who was every bit as in demand as him.

I hope you enjoy Shannon and Romero’s journey. And the next time your own life journey takes an unexpected turn, keep in mind that sometimes being lost is the only way to find yourself.

Happy reading,

Joanne Rock
