MAKE A WISH
Everyone leaves twenty-five-year-old Evie Marcherand, but with her naturally husky voice and musical talent she's done okay, and her star is rising. Her songs and her guitar? Those she can count on. She's just booked her first three-city tour. Too bad someone else wants to stop her music. Permanently.

Jake Wells. 39. Private investigator. Tall and lanky, with brown hair that's going silver at his temples. What does he want? To go on vacation. But with four younger sisters, "protective" doesn't begin to describe him, so a promise to a dead man means he'll play bodyguard instead. Threats of violence against an up-and-coming singer/songwriter have been escalating, and there's just no way that's going to happen. But after he gets a taste of Evie Marcherand's music—and lips—there's no saying what will.
