Illicit · Book Three
LADY’S CHOICE
Midlife wasn’t supposed to come with tattoos, guitars, and temptation.
As much as I enjoyed books 1 & 2, I was dying for Drew and Mel’s book. They’re both those side characters that just make the books. The banter they had with the other characters and then with each other was fantastic. Drew is the single dad that makes other book boyfriends seem just okay. Then you bring in no filter, never going to settle down, Mel and it just works. The chemistry was perfect. –Jaimie M., Goodreads review
ABOUT THE BOOK
Melanie Vandergriff has spent her whole life sticking to the plan, and as her fiftieth birthday approaches, she has everything she ever wanted.
Almost.
She’s never had a rock star.
After one unforgettable backstage encounter with Drew Cooper, rhythm guitarist for Illicit, Mel suddenly understands the appeal. Drew is sexy, charming, and impossible to resist, and what starts as a little fun quickly becomes something much deeper.
With Illicit on hiatus, Drew is focused on rebuilding his relationship with his troubled teenage son and starting over in Texas, far from the influences pulling the boy down the wrong path. Now living just miles from Mel, Drew slips past every defense she has. Their chemistry is explosive, but it’s the quiet moments—the laughter, the trust, the unexpected tenderness—that shake her the most.
For the first time in her carefully controlled life, Mel is tempted to risk everything for something she never planned on: love.
Now she has to decide if she’s willing to walk away from the safe life she built for the one man capable of turning her world upside down.
