Chapter One

“HALO, I PROMISE I’onna order room service and pass out early,” I said, as I shouldered ant French doors of my hotel suite that led out to a private balcony A war up froazed out at the twinkling lights of Paris beforejewel in the night sky, and onna want to leave”

Halo’s ruh the phone “Does that mean you’ve already seen the bathroom?”

Oh, please tell h the suite, and as I stepped into theclaw-foot tub that also had a stunning view of the city

That’s it I’ in

“Ien? Did you faint?”

“I’ve died and gone to heaven All I need now are bath bo”

“Good, now I don’t feel so bad about not being there,” Halo said “I’onna take here, but I’ll stop by rap up the shoot”

“You don’t need to do that I’ll just see you tomorrow”

“Are you sure? I hate that you’re spending your first day in Paris by yourself”

“First night, technically And like I said, I’onna pass out, so don’t worry about me”

Halo gave in reluctantly, and once we said our goodbyes, I went straight toto my curves and a pair of fiery red heels thatinto the low-cut dress and wrapping strands ofwand Ithe bed early, but there was no way I was spending ht in Paris alone in my hotel room—no matter how luxurious the suite was So while he was busy finishing up shooting a le, I’d occupy eous men I’d seen on my way here

I ranthe waves a bit, and after applying a quick coat of lip gloss, I grabbed my purse and was out the door Where I was headed, I didn’t have a clue, but I’d seen several bars nearby on ood a start as any

When I stepped off the elevator, the front desk clerks looked up and then did a double take Quite a change from the athleisure wear a day of travel required, huh, boys? I thought, winking their way as I passed, ainst the marble floors

I was halfway to the door when ht on a crowd of people in the hotel’s restaurant That wasn’t anything out of the ordinary, but the two uys couldn’t have been more opposite—one was dark-skinned, his hair shaved close to his scalp, and was dressed as immaculately as he was every time I’d seen him He wore a black fitted button-up, open at the collar, and I knew if he stood up, I’d see tailored dress pants and shoes so shiny you could see your own reflection Jagger was a smooth talker, a ladies’but respectful to me… Dammit

And then there was Slade Every inch of skin you could see, bar his face, was covered in tattoos, and I alondered if I’d find the same under his clothes His head was shaved on the sides, and tonight he wore ashades of teal and purple

Both guys were insanely attractive—and also off-limits Why?

Because they were in my brother’s band

Which raised the question of why they weren’t with Halo, Viper, and Killian shooting thearound with patrons who obviously recognized theel, one of thein Paris for a video shoot, they’d also be playing a couple of nights at the Stade De France - Saint Denis, their first shows on this leg of their international tour—and also the reason Halo had flown me over and put e ofFrance Please

Jagger looked up, and when his brown eyes met mine, they flickered with surprise Then a wide smile crossed his face and he waved aze traveled over my body as I headed in their direction, but he didn’t let his eyes linger, which, if I had to guess, was more a result of Halo’s threats than my minidress’s lack of effect
