GENRE: Contemporary Romance

BLURB:
Trust me, even though I’ve had a silver spoon in my mouth since I was a fetus and have
a world-famous pop diva as a sister, there is nothing I want more in the world than to fade into
the background and live out my Law & Order fantasy of becoming a public defender.

The only problem is my dad won’t bankroll law school unless I spend the summer following my older
sister on her arena tour, keeping her out of trouble and making sure she doesn’t have yet another
embarrassing public meltdown. Now relegated to a glorified babysitter, I am stuck lugging my
ten-pound LSAT prep books through hotel lobbies and taking practice tests in my sister’s dressing
rooms.

Then I find myself caught in a love triangle with my sister’s arch nemesis, bad boy popstar Jordan
James and Liam, my sister’s confusing and irritatingly gorgeous Scottish bodyguard.
Too bad I’ve sworn off love after seeing my own parent’s train wreck of marriage end with heartache
and misery.

I’m tired of living under my family’s careful rules and law school is my way out. I won’t let anything
get in my way. I won’t let anyone close enough to break down my walls. I have to guard my heart.

EXCERPT
“I don’t believe it. Am I finally seeing Gabby Monroe, in the flesh, dancing to Daphni Monroe’s music?”
Melissa playfully asks as she approaches, holding her hands up as if she’s filming a documentary.
I catch Liam walking beside her and instantly a smile sneaks up my face.

I catch Liam walking beside her and instantly a smile sneaks up my face.
“Not dancing,” I argue. “Swaying.”
“Say whatever you want. I have it on film,” she says as she again pantomimes a camera.
Liam chuckles and I shoot them both an incredulous look before rolling my eyes.
“Melissa, your dad jokes are seriously next-level embarrassing.”
“Melissa, your dad jokes are seriously next-level embarrassing.”
Melissa dramatically flips her long, red hair over her shoulder. “Whatever, Gabby. I know you love them.
Anyways, I got to scoot. We are working on trying to get Daphni a performance slot for the American
Music Awards.”

“Hi,” I say, suddenly feeling incredibly self-conscious as my brain instantly replays our kiss from
last night. I had fallen asleep with the taste of him on my lips and a dorky smile plastered on my face.
Daphni hadn’t shut up about it either, and had insisted I give her a play-by-play reenactment.
And now that he was here again, all I could do was stare at his lips and pray they would find their way
back to mine again.

“Hi,” he responds, and I feel a jab of surprise at how nervous he looks. He shoves his hands into
his pockets and looks over to the stage where Daphni is performing before bringing his piercing grey
eyes back to mine. “Did you sleep well last night?”
