Life in the limelight isn't all it's cracked up to be. After years of constant touring, and a close call with an overly obsessive fan, Bristol Lachlan has reached her breaking point. Running on fumes, and fighting a wicked case of writer's block, the lead singer of Absent Without Leave has gone missing in action. Tage Crosby has taken more than his share of hits, both on and off the ice. Hanging up his Captain's jersey, he now spends his time running the only bar in the small town of Grindstone Harbor. The last thing he expected was for a woman to come into town and rock his world, but his beautiful new neighbor has a way of leaving him tongue tied and tripping over himself every time he gets near her. Bristol knows her time in Grindstone Harbor is only temporary. The recording studio calls and so does the stage. But, what happens when your private life is exposed by flashing lights and what you see suddenly isn't enough anymore? Do you go after what is missing and pull it closer to you? Warning: This is a hilarious romantic comedy that may cause you to need spare panties for several reasons. The pages are full of steam, awkward moments of hilarity, and general epic fails of the human kind. Please read with caution.

It’s all fun and games until someone gets knocked up… Being the bassist for Absent Without Leave and rocking sold out stadiums around the world with her brother and their best friends is all Quinn Baker has ever dreamed of. Butting heads with lead guitarist, Tanner Hewitt, is just icing on the cake. She teases him, he taunts her, though neither of them crosses the line they always seem to be dancing around. Until they do. After a jealousy-fueled rage ends with her beneath him, Tanner is forced to take a hard look in the mirror and come to grips with everything he has kept bottled up. Knowing he has to put up or shut up, he heads back to Grindstone Harbor with two goals: record AWOL’s new album, and finally make Quinn his. When bombshells are dropped, everyone is left trying to come to terms with the truth. Can Tanner and Quinn find a way to hold onto each other when the media once again take up residency in Grindstone Harbor to dig up the goods on the latest AWOL scandal? Or are they destined to be burned for playing with fire?
