About the Book
Second in Dawn Ryder’s sizzling new Rock Band series.
HE KEPT IT CASUAL
Superstar guitarist Ramsey’s reputation as a bad-boy rocker
is exceeded only by his dedication to his music. He’s worked hard for the
success of his hit metal band Toxsin, and he intends to enjoy it—completely.
When a jilted groupie gets back at him for a one-night stand with an
intimate—and completely inappropriate—tattoo, he needs it fixed, and fast.
Sparks fly between Ramsey and his new tattoo artist, and Ramsey finds himself
hoping for more than new ink.
UNTIL SHE MADE HIM WANT MORE
When a high-profile tattoo job lands Jewel an invite on
Toxsin’s latest tour, she can’t say no. It’ll be great exposure, after all.
What she’s really worried about is ruining the gig by hooking up with the first
guy to completely rock her world. She knows she should resist—Ramsey’s not the
kind to stick around for a morning after. But the way he makes her feel—as an
artist and a woman—could be worth any risk.

Exclusive Excerpt from ROCK STEADY
Actually, she felt like a mega-fool for bringing him inside her
apartment. She was practically going into heat with so much raw brawn so close
to her fingertips. Getting him out of reach was a priority, or she might end up
hating herself when she did something impulsive.
She got the feeling Ramsey knew exactly how to take advantage of
“impulsive” moments.
“This will do the job.” The paper wrapping crinkled, seeming
excessively loud, because every nerve ending she had was on high alert.
Ramsey turned toward her, the case settling onto the worn
floorboards. He popped open the top button of his pants, and she fought off the
urge to run a hand across her chin in case she was drooling.
Boy, was he worthy of it.
But she wasn’t going there.
Nope.
As in…No! All you have is your pride, girl.
It was a sad little truth. Jewel covered the new ink carefully.
Ramsey chuckled softly.
Warmly.
So very…male.
“Don’t be intimidated.”
She looked up, the cloth tape she’d planned to secure the gauze with
still dangling from her fingers.
He cupped her chin and lowered his head until their lips were a
single inch apart.
“Don’t be intimidated, babe.” He was stroking her jawline, sending
ripples of delight down her body. “Touch me.”
She shook her head, recoiling as a warning bell went off somewhere
in the part of her brain still functioning on a rational level. “I am going to
cover this and…”
Her fingers were trembling.
Hell, she was rapidly turning into a quivering mass of
overstimulated receptors.
But she got the gaze tapped in place and pushed the button back
through its hole.
And realized she’d been holding her breath the entire time.
She stepped away from him and drew in a deep breath. As she blew it
out, she heard the unmistakable sound of him chuckling.
“Yeah, yeah, yeah…” She discovered herself laughing along with him.
“Like you don’t know what you do to the opposite sex.”
His eyes narrowed, his expression becoming insanely sensual. Her
mouth went dry as she stared, transfixed by the glitter in his eyes. She wasn’t
sure when he moved, only that he was suddenly folding her into his embrace.
“Glad to know I’m not the only one turned-on.” His voice was a husky
promise, just a whisper against her temple that shouldn’t have had the power to
send a shiver down her spine in the bright light of day.
“Whoa.” She flattened her hands on his chest, but pulled away when
it felt like she’d grabbed a pair of live jumper cables. “We’re not doing
this.”
He cupped her nape, the grip ripping through the fragile hold she
had on logic. As in shredded. There was something primal about the way he
handled her, taking control and tilting her head up so she got locked into his
mesmerizing stare. But he held back, just enough to make her have to commit to
the moment. If he’d kissed her, she could have labeled him an overbearing jerk.
A spoiled celebrity. Instead, she was caught between temptation and the
screaming warning from her common sense.
“We’re not doing it…yet,”
he rasped.
Disappointment drew its claw across her as he spoke. There was a
flash of iron-willed control in his dark eyes that frustrated her as much as it
titillated.
“You’re not nearly excited enough, Jewel.”
Hell…
“What I’m not, is onto jumping clients,” she informed him with what
was left of her rational mind.
She tried to shift away, but he moved his hand into her hair,
threaded his fingers through the delicate threads before he massaged her scalp.
The motion set off a crazy twist of awareness that went coiling through her
until it set fire to her clit. Her hips jerked toward his, giving her a blunt,
first-hand knowledge of just how hard his cock was.
“Better,” he said. “But still not enough.”
“I mean it, Ramsey. Back off.” She hated how desperate she sounded,
but there was little help for it. She was transforming into putty, just a
hair’s breath away from losing all grip on what she should do, in favor of what
she craved.
All those dark cravings no one really wanted to admit they had. For
the first time, she feared him, because Ramsey wasn’t afraid of those dark
tidings. Oh, hell no. He danced into the center of the storm and let it consume
him.
“Really—” She pushed away from him, taking a moment to touch his
chest, getting a glimpse of what she was forbidding herself to experience.
Being practical sucked.
He let her go, but she didn’t think for a second he was in agreement
with her. No, there was something in his eyes that warned her this was just
beginning.
