SYNOPSIS:
It’s been three years since Jasmine Ashcroft
got her innocent heart skewered by her teenage crush, singer Jonathan Fox.
Since then, she’s had plenty of time to grow up. To get over him. To move on.
Or so she thinks…
Jonathan Fox has been burned by love. Again.
Now he’s ready to jumpstart his career and become the most Eligible Rock Star
in Town. Which town? All of them. While he tours the world, he’ll also play the
field. Or so he thinks…
Jasmine and Jonathan’s paths are about to cross
in an unlikely place. For once, the timing is right: Jasmine wants someone to
rock her lonely nights. Jonathan wants someone who can keep up with his wild
life. But when regret and unrequited desires collide, the resulting firestorm
of emotion might be too much for them to handle. Or so they think…
About the Author:
Elizabeth Corva is a headbanger cleverly
disguised as an ordinary office drone. Before she fell down the rabbit hole
into the corporate world, she held various jobs in the music industry. Most of
them were gruntwork and none of them paid worth a hoot, but she got a treasure trove
of good band stories out of it. She’ll tell you some of the juicier ones if you
ply her with the right beverages.
The Angel Interceptor series was conceived as
the sun was setting on Hair Metal, born during the early days of fictionpress,
and came of age in 2013 when the author finally worked up the nerve to try
self-publishing. All of Elizabeth’s works are dedicated to the men who play
Metal and the women who love them, even though they should know better. She
pinkie swears to stay far away from insta-love, cheating, and nausea-inducing
baby drama.

A MILLION MILES AWAY
Like Silver,
Jonathan was also clad in jeans with damp hair falling loose over his
just-scrubbed chest. Even taller than he looked in photographs, his
narrow-waisted, wide-shouldered frame seemed to fill the door frame. “Hiya.
Didn’t realize I had an audience out here,” he told her. His expression wasn’t
angry, but it wasn’t exactly one of pure delight either. Jasmine realized that
he was giving her a chance to explain her presence.
“H-hi. I’m
here with my…friend,” she told him. “She’s with Silver. Back there,” she added,
pointing toward the closed door on the other side of the room.
“They left
you on your own while they tryst? Very poor!”
Even though
the singer spoke with a little laugh, Jasmine still felt a stab of anxiety. “I
can wait for them outside if you want me to,” she offered, placing her hands
behind her back like an errant schoolgirl called to the headmaster’s office.
“How could I
kick out a fellow Waterboys fan?” The frontman walked over and held out his
hand. “Jonathan Fox.”
Oh yeah, I
know. “Jasmine Ashbrook,” she replied, trying to stop the trembling in her
extremities as he enclosed her hand in a firm grasp. She greedily inhaled the
smell of his shampoo and the hint of another warm fragrance, like a cross
between cinnamon and ozone. Was it aftershave? Soap? Or just him?
Jonathan
gave a disbelieving laugh. “You’re not having me on, right? Your name’s really
Jasmine?”
“No joke,
that’s my name.” She thought about producing her driver’s license as evidence,
but decided against it because the picture sucked. “Smile!” the DMV employee
behind the camera had growled so fiercely that Jasmine was terrified into doing
the opposite.
After he
retrieved a green-bottled beer from the cooler, Jonathan leaned against the
makeup counter. His expression was still neutral, but his grey eyes were
starting to warm. “Go on, take your kettle off the heat,” he offered with a nod
at the plush armchair.
Jasmine sat
down and leaned back, trying to affect a nonchalant attitude. “Thanks-whoa!”
She nearly dropped her water as the backrest tilted toward the wall behind her
while the lower part of the chair slid forward until she was almost flat on her
back.
Jonathan
laughed, but in a sympathetic way. “Don’t feel bad. I didn’t realize that was a
stealth recliner when I first sat on it either. But unlike you, I spilled my
drink.”
Embarrassing
though the incident was, Jasmine realized that it had turned out to be the
perfect icebreaker. With most of her anxiety gone, she gave Jonathan a
tentative smile as she sat up. It was hard not to stare at him. His lightly
muscled torso was tantalizingly smooth except for a narrow line of golden-brown
hair that trailed down from his navel to disappear beneath the waist of his
low-riding jeans. She ever-so-briefly let her gaze drop a couple of inches
lower before catching herself. Whoa, Nelly. Stick to the view above the
shoulders.
GIVE IN TO THE NIGHT
All she had left to do was put on makeup and she would be
ready for her not-a-date.
Back in the bathroom, she got out her eye shadow compacts first, trying to
decide on her look. Hmm, smoky or
understated? Smoky,
she decided. That was the look she had the first time she met Jonathan. Her
friend Marianne had helped with her makeup that night, and the teenage Jasmine
had learned firsthand what a powerful thing it could be when done right.
Thinking she was older than 17, Jonathan had invited her
to his show in Phoenix. By the time he learned her true age, it was too late to
stop their blooming friendship…although he did wait to see her again until she
turned 18 a few weeks later. Even though they never did get to the next level,
Jasmine was still proud that she had gotten the notoriously picky Rock star’s
attention in the first place.
Her makeup seemed to take forever. She wanted everything
to be perfect - not an eyebrow hair out of place. Once she was satisfied, she
dropped her eye shadow and lipstick in her clutch bag and left the bathroom,
her breath as quick as her steps.
After a detour through her room to put on a black metal
mesh cuff bracelet that matched her dress, Jasmine went out to the living room
and peeked through the vertical blinds just as the kitchen clock hit 8:00. Right on
time, Jonathan’s Aston-Martin pulled up to the curb.Okay. Let’s do this.
As she stepped outside, Jonathan got out of the car and
started walking up the concrete stairway that led to the house. Jasmine met him
halfway, trying not to gape at the sight of the immaculately clad British man.
He had paired a gunmetal grey shirt with sleek black trousers, held on his
slender hips by a grommet-studded leather belt. Tonight, his hair was pulled
back into a loose ponytail that allowed the longer layers around his face to
swing free. He extended a hand to her, exposing the tattoos on his wrist
underneath the cuff of his shirt.
“Evenin’ Jas. You look stunning,” he told her before
bringing the knuckles of her right hand to his lips, playing the Gentleman
Rogue role to the hilt. If she had still been 18, she would have hyperventilated
herself into a coma on the spot.
Arm in arm, they descended to the sidewalk. “Bianca’s is
that way,” Jasmine told him, jerking her head toward the north.
“Are you sure the walk isn’t too far?” Jonathan asked,
glancing at her platform wedges. She had gone with the tallest pair she owned
so she wouldn’t have to crane her neck looking up at him all night.
With a breezy laugh, she waved off his question. “They’re
more comfortable than they look. And it’s only three blocks to the restaurant.
I’m good.”
“Right, then. If you say so.” Jonathan reached out for her
hand and her heart went into a barrel roll.
