Lily MacIntyre needs to shed her sitcom teen-queen image if she’s going to carve out a real career in Hollywood. A tabloid-worthy fling with rocker Nate Lansford–her childhood friend and new cohost of a reality talent show–should do it. As long as she can accept that the notorious player will be moving on to the next eager conquest when the season wraps.

Long before Nate’s hard-hearted image took hold, he and Lily were each other’s protectors and allies. No one knows him the way she does–and he doesn’t want his messed-up past to muddy up her potential. For once, the bad boy is trying to be good. Not easy when the good girl is getting wicked with him in the back of his limo and every white-hot kiss proves they can never be “just friends” again….

Light My Fire

by Kristina Knight

Nate smiled at her. “Still putting on a show?”

She could only shake her head.

“Because I’m about through watching it.”

Her belly twisted at the innuendo. “Sometimes you have to be part of the sh—”

He put his index finger over her lips. “No quippity-quips. Not now, Lil. Let’s just dance, okay?”

Her lips burned under his finger, but she nodded and slid into his arms as the DJ switched from bass-thumping fun to guitar-sensitive slow.

Nate slid his hands beneath her coat and reached under the camisole to play with the sensitive skin at the small of her back. And she melted into him. Lily rested her head below his shoulder and twined her fingers with his. She sighed at the rightness of being in his arms, even in the middle of a crowd and fully clothed.

He played his fingers along her sides like a piano and then worked his way around to the small of her back again, burning her from the outside in. Lily swallowed. She might want Nate, but she wasn’t ready for him.

Wasn’t ready for whatever this was building between them.

A small part of her still wanted the Nate she remembered—the boy who stood up to school-yard bullies for her, who smiled at her and only her while he performed before the rest of the student body in talent shows. The boy she shared her lunch with, the boy who took her to the senior prom when Bailey Yeardley stood her up at the last minute. She had so many memories with Nate, and almost all of them also involved her brother. What if whatever this was messed up not only her friendship with Nate, but also Chase’s?

Her waking up a year ago and realizing the boy she’d grown up with had become a heart-stoppingly attractive man didn’t mean a thing . He was still her brother’s best friend. He might be the guy who would give the reporter’s something to talk about besides her show being cancelled, but that wasn’t a good enough reason to act. Not if they couldn’t salvage their friendship when this lust train arrived at the next station.
