When handsome California surf god Lincoln Savage suddenly
rolls into Ocean Beach like a rogue wave, shy beauty Simone Bianchi’s
foundation is shaken. No longer under the thumb of her domineering father,
she’s made a simple quiet life for herself and her fluffy fourteen pound
Havanese pup running a surf shop in her hometown of OB. Long ago she gave up
her dreams for a future with Linc.
But now the notorious lead singer of the Dirt Dogs has
returned, and Simone is reluctant to admit that she’s still vulnerable to his
killer dimpled smile and easy charm. She finds that although she’s stowed away
the mementos, it hasn’t been as easy to erase the memories of their epic summer
love.
It seems he hasn’t forgotten, either.
Is the recording contract he’s offering merely a pretense?
Or does he have something more in mind?
Does he really believe that they can just pick up where they
left off, despite all the bad luck and heartache?
And is she willing to risk everything again for one last
chance at love?
Excerpt (New to Tour)
“Dammit, Mona.” I leaned in closer inhaling her sweet scent
and nearly brought to my knees with desire. I wanted to have her. Right here.
Right now. I had to curl my fingers into fists to keep from reaching out,
grabbing her and reminding her how it used to be between us. Her lids lowered
and her breathing turned ragged. Was she remembering, too, or trying to forget?
“Go away, Linc.” Apparently the latter.
“Maybe I can’t,” I admitted my voice raspy with stripped
down need. “Maybe I don’t want to.”
“Don’t.” She closed her eyes and her chin dropped. “Don’t do
this to me.” She wet her lips. They visibly trembled. Even though I knew I had
upset her I still wanted to kiss them. “I’m not one of your groupies easily
flattered by your bullshit. The fact that you’re a big rock star doesn’t
impress me. I know who you really are Lincoln Savage. I’ve seen you at your
best and I’ve survived you at your worst. So don’t think you can come here and
play games with me.”

Excerpt (Previously released for excerpt reveal)
The walls vibrated as soon as the spotlights hit them. Feet
stomped. Fans yelled. Some even stood on their chairs. Camera lights clicked on
and so did Lincoln. Brightly. He strode to the center of the stage. Confident.
Compelling. Controlled. A cosmic force.
He plucked the mic from the stand glared at the audience
daring them to come along with him or get the hell out of the way, before he
and the guys launched into a cover of ‘Satisfaction’ that kicked ass as righteously as the
original.
It went uphill from there. Ramon on guitar flashing his
flirt. Ash slamming sexy on his drums. Patch firm and steady on bass. And Linc
my gorgeous warrior with depths of worth that he still failed to recognize
eclipsing them all. The Dirt Dogs might still a bit rough around the edges but
they were undeniably on the ascent. What had started out as something to occupy
their time when the surf wasn’t up had transformed into a magical mélange of
Pacific saltwater, California sun and hard rocking in your face attitude.
I moved quickly across the parking lot shielding my eyes
from the glare when I reached the sand. The tension inside my stomach instantly
ratcheted tighter. I recognized Lincoln right away. Even in his wet suit the
way he moved across the surface of the ocean on his board was as unique as he
was.
Under the curtain unleashing his fins.
Maxing out of the tube.
Finding steep wall and going nearly vertical.
Those were the maneuvers I knew, the others I didn’t but
that didn’t make them any less awe inspiring.

“You afraid?”
I shook my head. I was never afraid of him. Never.
He studied me a beat seeming to notice my parted lips, heavy
breathing, hard nipples and trembling.
“Turned on?” he guessed.
I nodded.
“Get on my board then, babe. I aim to please if you’ll let
me.”
