Amped: A Plus-Sized Rock Star Romance (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781957313108)

She wants to break free.

He's afraid he's already too broken.

Liz Larkin never wanted to be a rock star. After almost a decade playing the keyboard for Vixen's Wail, she's desperate to pursue the career she always dreamed of. As a massage therapist, Liz could make a real difference to people's lives, if only she could summon the courage to leave behind the world she knows. But when she collides with a big, bearded, ill-tempered, and irresistible roadie backstage at a festival, she sees a fitting end to her rock star life. Before she tells the Vixens she's leaving, she intends to go out with a bang. But she doesn't expect to find love in the form of a grumpy roadie.

Jones has spent his life alone, hiding behind a sullen shield and priding himself on his unapproachable, fearsome fa軋de. The physical pain he has suffered for years is nothing compared to the pain in his heart. But when Liz, a beautiful, curvaceous rock star sees through his armor, he finds that parts which terrify even himself aren't enough to scare her away. What begins as a quick, backstage tryst unfolds into something far more devastating-and far more tender-than anything he's ever allowed himself to feel before.
