Audrey LaRue achieved pop stardom rather quickly with the help of her attentive but career-minded manager/boyfriend, Lucas Bonner. She's annoyed that he commits her to perform a private concert at a wealthy middle-aged man's birthday party on a tropical island. Jack Price, part-owner of Thrillseekers Anonymous, is annoyed too. He's supposed to be giving lazy, drunk partygoers an "extreme sports" experience but instead finds himself seeking solitude on a deserted stretch of sand. Audrey wants to relax at any cost, but even when she offers cash for Jack's beach chair, he refuses the demands of the AMERICAN DIVA.

Audrey is about to embark on her first major music tour, but a series of threatening letters casts a shadow over her success. Without consulting her first, Lucas hires Jack Price to keep her safe. While providing security on tour, Jack has trouble getting past Audrey's diva attitudes. He finds Audrey attractive and intriguing but doesn't want to be distracted from his primary duty -- protecting her from an increasingly bold and ominous threat. Audrey doesn't know who to trust, especially when she finds herself caught between her bodyguard and her boyfriend. Jack and Lucas both claim to value her interests and her heart.

Creating sympathy for a wealthy, successful singer/songwriter can be tricky because, of course, it seems as if the pop diva has already achieved her dreams and shouldn't be complaining. Julia London creates a sympathetic character whose ambitions thankfully include more than fame and fortune. Audrey loves success but hates the attention of the tabloid media. Readers will adore her naive and trusting spirit, even as they quickly turn pages to reach the conclusion of the suspenseful subplot. Ultimately a sexy feel-good romance, this story is a journey for human connection and happiness through, love, family and great music!
