Spiked blond hair. And a smile to stop a man cold. She’s Riley Callahan, the hell-on-wheels daughter of a rock superstar. When her famous father flees the country to avoid a tax evasion charge, Riley turns government freelancer to support herself—and is soon accused of leaking confidential information to the criminal underworld. That’s why U.S. marshal Charlie Zap is hot on her trail. He’s trying to stick close like a pair of skintight jeans, but follwing the ultimate party girl requires quick thinking and fancy footwork. So what if this hunk in biker boots happens to be in the right place at the right time to save her life? Riley may not think she needs any help, but if she even tries to clear her father’s name, her new babysitter’s coming along for the ride. Who would have guessed that they’d end up cruising the country together in a pink Cadillac—visiting Zap’s endearing family and mixing with Elvis clones at Graceland? Soon enough, the biggest shock is what Zap’s doing to Riley’s heart.

Book excerpt: Danny I'm not a guy who's looking for a serious relationship. I love the chase, and the one time I thought I wanted more, the guy bailed. When my buddy Will mentions his recently out, older brother is looking for a place to stay, I offer the spare room in my apartment. It's clear Jonathan's past did a number on him, and he's locked up tight. I make it my mission to show him how to have a little fun. What I don't expect is to start to like him...or get jealous when he goes on a date...and hooking up with him is a terrible idea...right? Jonathan When Dad caught me kissing a boy as a teenager, he made it clear such behavior was unacceptable, and I've been messed up about it ever since. I'm over thirty, yet from Danny's viewpoint, I'm a baby gay, which should be more annoying than it is. He's got me playing on a queer baseball team, making friends, and wanting things I never thought I'd want, like pursuing my art-and him. I definitely want him. Problem is, I can't get rid of the unwanted voices in my head, my relationship with most of my family is a disaster, and every time Danny touches me, I come apart, finding myself wanting more. Danny doesn't do relationships, he's my brother's friend, and I have a slew of hang-ups. All of this makes things...messy. So then why can't we keep our hands off each other? Why is he taking me on dates and looking at me like we could have more? To get there, we'll need to put our pasts away for good, and have a lot of trust, not just in ourselves, but each other.
