Dirty Little Secret

I was being given the chance to do the one thing I wanted most in the world. The chance was presented to me by a guy so gorgeous, he turned my skin to fire when he touched me. And joining a band was the one thing I was most forbidden to do, the thing that would ruin my future forever.

There are too many secrets in eighteen-year-old Bailey€s life. Not just the obvious one: that she told her grandfather she was going on a date, and instead is playing fiddle in a Nashville bar. There€s all the stuff that makes it worse. Like how her younger sister, Julie, was offered a recording contract, and her family is terrified that Bailey is going to mess the deal up. Like the way that Bailey has been acting out. Like the way they€re all mad at her, even Julie.

Bailey€s parents don€t want her playing any gigs at all, but when they leave her with her grandfather in Nashville for the summer so they can tour with Julie, he lands her a music job that€s beneath the radar, playing old country songs in cheesy costumes at a local mall. That€s where she meets Sam. . . .

Sam€s got big plans that don€t include playing backup while his alcoholic dad scratches out a living as a Johnny Cash soundalike. He intends to take his high school garage band to the big time, and as soon as he hears Bailey play, he knows she€s just what he wants. That really ticks off Charlotte, the drummer for the band and Sam€s ex-girlfriend, while bassist Ace just wants to keep everyone happy.

Bailey isn€t at all sure where she stands with this boy who has a lust for music and life, and who may or may not have a lust for her. Something tells her that with Sam, there could always be a catch. And yet, suddenly, her life is no longer about what might have been, and a whole lot about where she will choose to go.
