The heat was no longer just a fire in my veins. No, I was going nova, feeling impossible, scorching temperatures lighting through my entire body. I dug my nails into Corbin’s back, and he was as desperate as I was to climax, I could feel it with the frenetic way in which his hips pistoned into me. Finally, he came, his seed flooding into me, and I felt my body give way, shatter under his embrace even as fireworks seemed to explode over my eyes.
I came then with heat and passion and intensity, feeling everything surge through my body in one massive explosion of pleasure. When it was over, we fell back to the bed, and I pressed myself up against him even as Corbin spooned me.
“Love you, Aimee, always.”
“Love you, too.”
Corbin seemed to let out a breath that even he didn’t realize he’d been holding. He curled me up into his arms. “I promise that I won’t leave you. That I’ll always love you.” He kissed my temple, and I relaxed further into his embrace.
“Just promise me today,” I murmured sleepily.
“I mean forever, Aimee,” he said, his brown eyes still so like chocolate pools I could get lost in forever.
“Forever?”
His breath was soft in my hair as he said, “I promise. And I promise that every day for as long as I’m here to see the earth spin on its axis, I will love you. And I promise that I’ll get both Bayou Beaux and The Lovewilds to play at our wedding. Now fall asleep, sweetheart. Fall asleep.”
I knew, with everything I had inside of me, that Corbin was my forever. Even on nights when we couldn’t be together, I’d fall asleep easily. Because Corbin was my beginning and my ending. He was my everything.
Corbin Ross was the music in my soul.

ROCK CANDY SERIES
Rock Strong
(Rock Candy Book 1)
I've seen and done it all--sex, drugs, rock-n-roll, and then some. I've made the cover of Rolling Stone. I've won Best Rock Performance at the Grammy's. I'm living a life of fame, wild tours, crazy money, and insanely hot women. But the one woman I can't get is prim and proper cellist, Abby Chan--gorgeous, natural, talented as all sin. The first time we met, I knew we would be something special. She's not convinced, but I am.
Now I'm going to prove she's all the woman a wild man like me will ever need...
Liam Collier, sexy and enigmatic frontman for Point Break, the world's hottest rock band, is at the top of his game. With two songs in the Billboard Top 10, he's a rock-and-roll bad boy, known for his trademark falsetto as well as his proclivity for partying and hooking up with gorgeous women. For Liam, falling in love was something he figured would happen far off in the future--not on the first day of his first world tour. And not with his super sexy but extremely reserved background cellist.
With a Master of Music degree from Juilliard School of Music, Abby Chan is on the road to becoming a cellist for the New York Philharmonic Orchestra. But to pay back her expensive education, first she has to travel another kind of road--a gig playing cello for the North American leg of a garish rock band's world tour. She'd expected hard work and long hours, but what she never expected was the intensity of her reactions to Liam Collier. He's sweet. He's hot. And despite being surrounded by roadies and the world's most beautiful women, he's set his sights on her.
When classical music meets rock and prim propriety meets a carefree attitude, Abby and Liam venture outside their comfort zones. What they discover is that living wild is the perfect preparation for flying high--on love.
Rock Dirty
(Rock Candy Book 2)
As one of the hottest drummers in the world, Tucker “The F***er” Benning lives life hard. But when his band’s world tour is cancelled, Tucker finds himself stuck in an airport with no destination in mind…until he spots a red-headed knockout hurrying through the airport on her way to Paris, France. She’s classy, sexy, and turns heads. Why not buy a first class ticket and follow her? That’s when the real fun begins.
Dominique “Nikki” Lorenz, heiress to her mother’s magazine empire, is headed to Paris, hoping to leave behind her celebutante tabloid reputation and make a new name for herself. She’s amused when the famous Tucker Benning sits next to her and starts flirting—could he be any more of a rock star? But when he presents a naughty proposal, she figures why not have one last wild experience before settling down?
Once they land in Paris, though, Nikki makes a stand—no more naughty stuff. She has a fresh and clean reputation to build, and being seen with Tucker won’t help. Yet Tucker’s bad boy allure is impossible to resist and so is his softer side, which makes her feel cherished and worthy.
Tucker has a decision to make—does he fight for his band, or does he commit to the woman he’s come to care about, a woman who longs for love and stability his rock star lifestyle can’t give?
Tucker’s life has always been about fame, fun, and f***ing around. But now Nikki needs him and he’ll do whatever it takes to win her heart…including fighting dirty. Because love is worth risking everything.
