The only other person who could wrangle the rock and roll divas.

Beat Dawkins, the lead singers son, is Melodys oppositethe camera loves him, he could charm the pants off anyone, and his mom is not a potential cult leader.

While dealing with rock star shenanigans, a 24-hour film crew, brawling Santas, and mobs of adoring fans, Mel starts to step out of her comfort zone. With Beat by her side, cheering her on, shes never felt so understood. But Christmas Eve is fast approaching, and a decades-old scandal is poised to wreck everythingthe Steel Birds reunion, their relationships with their mothers, and their newfound love.

Reviews

"The tenderness, vulnerability and heat I am always guaranteed with a Tessa Bailey book are the reasons she is one of my all-time favorite authors."
-- Sally Thorne

"Tessa Bailey writes pure magic."
-- Alexis Daria

"One of the genre's very best."
-- Kate Clayborn

"Tessa Bailey's writing stands out in all the right sexy ways." -- Buzzfeed

"Bailey writes banter and rom-com scenarios with aplomb, but for those who like their romance on the spicier side, she's also the Michelangelo of dirty talk. She wields filth like Da Vinci does a paintbrush, and there's a lot to be said for an author who can fill such exchanges with all the requisite heat, enthusiastic consent, and yes, even humor, of such a scenario without veering into corny territory."
-- Entertainment Weekly

"Tessa Bailey is the queen of rom-coms. Long may she reign!" -- Julie Murphy, #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Merry Little Meet Cute

"Nothing makes my heart catch fire like a Tessa Bailey book. She is all things magic and dirty talk." -- Elena Armas, New York Times Bestselling Author of The Spanish Love Deception
