I saw him cruising along the Florida Straights in a speed boat with two bikini-clad babes at his side. When I decided to write Rum Runner, the setting was the first aspect of the story I decided on. For as long as I’ve been writing I’ve wanted to set a book that takes place on the island. Quaint, quirky Key West is one of my favorite places on the planet. Can a fan and her idol build a lasting love? Or is their relationship just a fling fueled by the sultry Caribbean breeze? And most importantly- can she survive long enough to find out? When danger and proximity spark a blazing romance, Molly can’t help wondering about the future. Anders offers Molly his private plane, and together they race for Montego Bay, dodging the hit man who’s hell-bent on eliminating everyone who knows of his crimes. Their flirtation is put on hold when Molly’s daughter witnesses a murder and winds up in Jamaica. He has strict rules about getting involved with fans, but with her sharp wit and refreshing openness, Molly draws him in like no one has before, even as the shadow of his recent scandal stalks closer. After spending years on the country music circuit herself, Molly can’t help but have a fangirl moment when she meets Anders in real life.Īnders flies to Key West to attend his brother’s wedding and keep a low profile after a Vegas tragedy plasters his face to the cover of every tabloid. Her best friend’s wedding should be a welcome chance to relax, but Molly’s dismayed to discover her friend’s new brother-in-law is her idol-country music superstar Anders Ostergaard. Between navigating the moods of an increasingly sassy teenage daughter, grappling with money problems, and dealing with her daughter’s deadbeat dad, Molly doesn’t need any more stress in her life.

Troubles are piling up for Molly MacBain. Perfect for fans of Susan Elizabeth Phillips and Janet Evanovich, this action-packed sequel to Rum Runner from a fresh voice in contemporary romance offers a sexy and comedic take on love, adventure, and what it means to trust your heart.
