RELEASE DATE: September 9th, 2014
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…
Fox
promises scorching heat and dangerous pleasure, coaxing Molly to extend
their one-night stand into a one-month fling. After that, he’ll be gone
forever, his life never again intersecting with her own. Sex and sin
and sensual indulgence, all with an expiration date. No ties, no
regrets. Too late, Molly realizes it isn’t only her body that’s become
addicted to Fox, but her heart…
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.
