After an embarrassing stint on a reality-TV music competition years ago, Riley vowed never to sing again. Now she's behind the scenes, working at the prestigious Sound Sync recording studio, and life is looking up. But then Garrett Jamieson, the oldest brother in the famous Jamieson brothers band, crashes into her world.

Garrett has hit rock bottom, and he is desperate to reinvent himself. After calling in a few favors, he ends up working at Sound Sync to learn the ropes of record producing from the industry's best. And he can't believe his luck when he discovers that Riley has been keeping a secret—she is an amazing singer. By producing her album, he's sure to top the record charts again. But Garrett is forced to use every trick in his arsenal to persuade the sassy girl to record.

Riley refuses to sing—or even entertain the thought of it—and sparks fly as Garrett finally meets his match. But in the heat of the moment, one stolen kiss changes everything. Will Riley be the first person to finally rein Garrett in, or will Garrett succeed in getting Riley back under the spotlight?

Angie Stanton never planned on writing books—she wanted to be a Rockette. However, growing up in rural America with her brothers’ 4-H pigs as pets, she found that dance didn’t quite work out. Instead, she became an avid daydreamer. After years of perfecting stories in her head, she began to write them down, and the rest is history. When not writing, she loves watching natural disaster movies, going to Broadway musicals, and dipping French fries in chocolate shakes.

Excerpt
 

As she lifted the T-shirt to pull it over her head, the curtain opened and Garrett slipped in.

Riley yanked the shirt back down and spun around to face him. “Get out!”

“What is your problem?”

“You are!” she snapped. “Do you mind?” The dressing room was tight quarters for the two of them and the heap of discarded clothes at her feet. Her heart raced.

“You didn’t seem to mind me too much last night.” His gray eyes gleamed.

Her mouth went dry. He had a point. She needed a snappy retort, but no words came.

“Is that what’s bothering you?” He leaned close.

“Of course not,” she lied.

“Good.” He pulled her into his arms and kissed her.

Riley couldn’t decide whether to push him away or pull him closer. She’d worried he wouldn’t kiss her again after last night, but he infuriated her, too. Still, she couldn’t help losing herself in the touch of his lips and comfort of his arms.

He slowly released her. “Still mad?”

“Maybe.” She dipped her head and blushed, her knees weak, as a thousand butterflies fluttered in her stomach.

Garrett pushed a lock of hair over her shoulder.

 “Why did you kiss me?” she asked.
“It seemed like a good idea.” He gave her a half smile that was knowing, wicked, and not the least bit sweet.

“So whenever you don’t like what I have to say, you’re going to kiss me to make me shut up?” She hoped so, but logic said he was using her.

“I like your thinking.”

“I’m serious. You don’t even like me. You said so yourself.”

 “Well, you’re growing on me.” He shrugged with a lazy smile. “For some reason, the more time I spend with you, the more I can’t help myself.”

Riley wasn’t sure if that was a good thing or not.
