Melanie Vandergriff mapped out her life's course at a young age and it paid off. Now, with her fiftieth birthday approaching, she has everything she wants. She's never had a rock star, though, and since her sister is involved with the lead singer of Illicit Mel has a hankering to see what all the fuss is about. After a backstage encounter with the rhythm guitarist unlike anything she's ever experienced, she decides she has to see more of Drew Cooper.
When Illicit decided to take a long hiatus from recording and touring, Drew Cooper is eager to reconnect with his thirteen-year-old son and be the hands-on father he always wanted to be. But when he discovers his son is on his way to becoming a juvenile delinquent it throws Drew's plans into chaos. When he's asked to be in his lead singer's wedding near Dallas Drew takes the opportunity to find a home there where he and his son can live far away from the bad influences that threaten the boy.
With Drew now in close proximity after his move to Texas, Mel is drawn into a deeper relationship than she'd ever experienced. But when things start to seem serious it threatens to tilt Mel's well-ordered world on its ear. Does she want to succumb to a life she never envisioned for herself or stay on the course that has served her so well for so long? What will the lady's choice be?
