When an invitation arrives for a masked ball that is being thrown to celebrate a world famous rock band’s new album, Blair finds herself being transformed into Cinderella for the night. When Blair not only falls for Prince of Rock, Hunter but also loses a precious $8,000.00 shoe, she finds herself in possibly the biggest mess of her entire life.

EXCERPT

                It’s difficult to feel at ease here. The guests are all so…expensive? Perhaps that’s not the right word. They’re…elite. A far cry from the girl who sells them all the goods. I wander around, taking in each person, their costumes, who they’re talking to. I float among the guests, a few even taking a moment to say hello, as though they truly recognize me. Ugh. Why did I let Christian and Anthony talk me into this? What the hell am I supposed to do here? Really try meet “Prince Charming?” Honestly, does Prince Charming exist? Is there some man out there ready to sweep me off my feet, fly me to exotic places and treat me like a queen? I manage to hold back a laugh and I smile as I work my way passed the masked waiter with the tray of champagne and wiggle my way to a corner. I look up to immediately connect my eyes with his. I’m shocked. So shocked that I glance away as quickly as I can. For some reason though I find it hard not to look at him and instead of keeping my gaze on the floor, I find myself staring, trying to keep control and a closed mouth. He finally smiles underneath the simple black mask that covers only his eyes, but even with part of his face covered, he is a vision of perfection in his traditional black tuxedo. The same masked waiter passes him and he gingerly takes two champagne flutes from the silver tray. He begins working his way through the crowd, moving bit by bit, closer to me. Suddenly he’s standing right in front of me before I have time to truly make sense of any of it.

                “Hi,” he says, softly.

                I look at him and force myself to speak, “Hi.”

                “Would you like a drink?” He asks, extending the champagne to me.

                “Might as well, you were sweet enough to bring me a drink. Thank you.” I say, taking the glass from him.

                “What’s your name, Princess?” He asks.

                I look up and into his deep blue eyes. Even under the mask there’s no mistaking who he is. His dark, messy styled hair, that sly smile, and hypnotizing eyes. His tall, well built frame. He is Hunter. He is the man throwing this masked ball for the release of his band’s album “Hidden.”

                I swallow a gulp of champagne. What the hell have Christian and Anthony gotten me into? I finally smile, “Just call me Cinderella.”

                He laughs, “Oh really?” He glares around us for a moment, “No Prince Charming?”

                I give my head a shake and have another sip of the rather tasty champagne, “No Prince Charming. I’m here alone, actually.”

                “What a coincidence, I’m here alone, too.” He beams, his sneaky little smile almost making me go weak in the knees.

                “What?” I say, “You don’t count your band mates?”

                He grins and gives me a little “you got me” smile. “You can tell me it’s me?”

                I laugh, “Please, anyone in the world would know Hunter, even under a little mask.”

                He laughs again and has a drink of the champagne, “You got me.”

                “I’m just that good,” I smile.

                “Well, what do you say to a dance?” He asks. “Since, you are the only one in this room to guess that it’s me.”

                I think for a moment. It’s a dance. What could one dance possibly hurt? I finally nod. He takes the champagne flute for me and places them both on a table draped in a silvery cloth and then reaches for my hand. His face meets mine, “Better go easy on me.”

                I laugh, “I think I can do that.”

                “Mind if we stick with the slow ones?” His hand immediately finds my waist and he draws my body near his and the song changes to a slow paced ballad.

                I hesitate and then finally nod. He begins to gently sway our bodies in a circular motion, “Remember, go easy on me.”

                I laugh, “What, they don’t teach you to dance in rock star boot camp?”

This makes him laugh as he gives me a gentle squeeze. He shakes his head, “I sing and play guitar. That’s the limit to my abilities.”

                “For some reason I doubt that,” I tell him.

EXCERPT

            I barely have enough time to open my mouth, let alone scream as I’m flung into one of the walls of the shack. I groan as he holds me against the wall with one hand. I look up into his eyes. It’s not Ethan but I see a man who aside from his messier dark hair could easily pass for his brother. His silver eyes spark with brightness under the candle light and his 5 o’clock shadow is dominant on his face. He’s as tall as Ethan is with an unbelievably large build. His dark jeans and boots, like Ethan’s, are speckled with debris from the woods. His dark tee shirt reveals two muscular forearms that even under the dim

candle lighting I can see tensing as he clings on to me.

            “What do we have here?” His voice is low and taunting as I force myself not to fight him. He leans in close; his nose twitches ever so lightly as he…smells me. “You have Ethan on you,” He growls.

            My mouth drops as the pain in my back begins spreading from the forceful meeting with the wall.

            “Where is he?” He grumbles.

            “He…” I stammer. “He went to.”

            “He’s right here!” I hear Ethan’s voice from the door of the cabin. My eyes snap toward him, pleading for him to help me.

            “Really Ethan?” The man says. “Really? She’s hasn’t been in town all of,” he leans down smelling me again, “a few hours.”

            I feel tears beginning to sting my eyes, the man slowly loosens his grip, but he doesn’t let go. He reaches for my forearm where he holds me away from Ethan. He’s using me as bait. He’s using me merely to taunt Ethan in some twisted game.

            “Let. Her. Go. Aaron.” Ethan growls.

            “What?” The other man laughs, “You mean to tell me she’s yours. This many years and you finally decide to.”

            Ethan is quick to cut him off, “Let her go.”

            Before I can say anything, five men, who match Ethan’s appearance, run in. One who is Aaron’s identical twin is the first to speak. “Aaron, you fucking moron, what are you doing?”

            I train my eyes on him for moment. Unlike his twin, his clean-shaven face presents chiseled features that are buried underneath Aaron’s scruff. His silvery eyes gleam under the candle light just as Aaron and Ethan’s eyes. His hair is dark but much shorter and well styled. His own white tee shirt, dark jeans and large boots also suggest that he has been romping around in the woods.
