Rhythm — Julie Kriss

The only person more damaged than I am is Axel de Vries, the drummer for the Road Kings. He's a rock star, my new neighbor, and a blond god with tattoos. The eye candy from my window is crazy.

But he's just pulled himself out of addiction, and I've just escaped a devastating relationship. We're both too scarred to handle getting involved. So we make an agreement: We're just friends.

Axel is good at the friends thing -- too good. He'd be the best friend I ever had, except that suddenly I'm accompanying him on tour to keep him sober. And the more time I spend with him, the less I want friendship.

I'm keeping him clean. He's keeping me sane. We're saying no to temptation. But what would happen -- just once -- if both of us said yes?
