Blurb
A bad boy
wrapped in a sexy, muscled, grown-up package might be worth a little risk…
Molly
Webster has always followed the rules. After an ugly scandal tore apart her
childhood and made her the focus of the media’s harsh spotlight, she vowed to
live an ordinary life. No fame. No impropriety. No pain. Then she meets Zachary
Fox, a tattooed bad boy rocker with a voice like whiskey and sin, and a touch
that could become an addiction.
A
one-night stand with the hottest rock star on the planet, that’s all it was meant
to be…
Excerpt from ROCK ADDICTION
by Nalini Singh
Fox hadn’t
become the lead singer
of one of the best-selling rock bands in history by being a shrinking violet.
No, he went after what he wanted, no holds barred. And the raw promise he could
feel between him and Molly? He had to know where it would lead, the need so
strong he hadn’t felt anything like it since the day he’d figured out that
music was his escape, the air in his lungs.
Which was why he was leaning against the
wall beside Molly’s apartment at five that afternoon, a guitar by his side.
The elevator doors opened at a quarter
after the hour, Molly going motionless two steps outside of it, the doors
closing silently at her back. Yeah, she hadn’t expected him, but Fox was ready
to work with that. Waiting patiently as she took a deep breath and completed
the trek down the corridor, he drew in the scent of her, his gaze lingering on
the fluttering pulse in her neck.
“How did you get past security?”
Fox smiled slowly at the blurted-out
question, wondering if Molly knew how bad she was at hiding her emotions. He
liked it, liked that he saw the real Molly, not an illusion she’d created to
tempt him—not that she had to do anything but smile to tempt him. “I told you
the security sucks.”
Unable to resist, he reached out to run
his finger down one creamy cheek flushed with a mix of surprise, passion, and,
he was certain, sweet, hot feminine anger. His guess was borne out when Molly
unlocked her door with jittery hands and put down her handbag on one corner of
the bench, her fingers trembling before she curled them into her palms. “You’re
breaking the rules.”
“What rules?” Closing the door, he leaned
back on it and willed her to face him. Much as he loved the shape of her from
the back, he liked watching those expressive eyes whisper her mood to him.
Shoulders tight, she turned. “This was
supposed to be a one-night stand.”
“Ah.” Folding his arms over the plain
black of his T-shirt, he said, “How about a one-month stand instead?” He knew
he had to play this exactly right. Molly was wary of him, and yeah, he could
understand why. To have her in his life beyond a fleeting instant, he’d have to
win her trust.
She jerked up her head. “What?”
“Why not? I like you. You like me.” He
smiled—because the reason Molly had needed to jerk up her head was that she’d
been staring at his chest. “Admit it.”
Sitting down on the bench, she began to
unzip her boots, very obviously not looking
at him. “You’re okay for a rock star.”
He wanted to bite her, then pet her until
she was limp and languid in his arms. “We burn up together.” Deliberately
modulating his voice—his instrument—for maximum effect, low and bedroom rough,
he saw her fingers stutter on the zipper. “I’m here for a month. It’s an easy
equation.”
When the words “Let me
think about it” fell from her mouth, he thought she might’ve been as startled
as he was, her lips parting on a slight gasp—as if to call back the
declaration.
