What goes on tour, stays on tour … or does it?

Few people know that socially awkward Adrian Hart is actually rock god Kent Downer, and that’s the way Adrian likes it. His privacy is essential, especially now that he has guardianship of his orphaned, ten-year-old niece, Kate. But when the nanny quits in the middle of his tour Adrian finds himself in a bind.

Until Libby Myles walks into his life.

Libby has only ever wanted to become a full-time author and prove to her parents that she can make it on her own. On the surface, the temporary job as the nanny for Kent Downer’s niece looks perfect—the pay is fabulous, the hours are short and Kate is a big fan—it’s the rock star that’s the issue.

Arrogant and way too attractive for anyone’s good, Kent Downer has enough swagger to power a small city. But when he’s out of costume he’s different—shy and uncertain. For Libby it’s a far harder combination to resist. She needs to find a balance between work, writing and ignoring her attraction to the rock star, because if she falls for him, it could mean the end of her dream.

But when a horrible scandal is unleashed—putting young Kate in danger—there’s more heat between Libby and Adrian than just sexual attraction. Libby must figure out if Adrian ever cared for her, or if it was all just part of the show …

Libby’s Character

Libby Myles
Known by most people as Libby, Elizabeth Myles doesn’t consider herself extraordinary in any way. Her looks are average and she knows it. As I’ve mentioned in other blog posts, my initial character descriptions are always very basic. The description below comes straight out of my novel notebook.

Name: Elizabeth (Libby)
Height: 170 cm
Hair: Straight chocolate brown hair which falls to the bottom of her shoulder blades
Eyes: Green
Build: Not muscled, but she is slim. She’s is one of those people who is naturally slim no matter what she eats – though she does walk daily.
Age: 28

This then gets expanded when other characters observe her. When Kent has an anxiety attack, he uses the image of Libby to help calm himself.

“Kent closed his eyes and focused on the sensation, visualizing her face; her emerald green eyes, her small nose, her hesitant smile and the straight, chocolate brown hair that fell past her shoulders.
She was attractive, in an unassuming way, and he concentrated on that hum of attraction he’d felt when he’d first noticed her in the green room.”

Then a little later in the story he sees her again, in a far different light.

“She was wearing a black leather jacket and green top that made her eyes more emerald, but it was the skinny-leg jeans and high heels that attracted his attention. Where the heck had those legs come from? They went on and on and the jeans clung to them like a second skin.

His mouth went dry. What would it be like to peel off those jeans and – Christ, he couldn’t have those kinds of thoughts about Kate’s nanny.”

When asked which actress should play Libby I searched the internet for images of actresses. I narrowed my search to Australian actresses because Libby is Australian and the accent has to be right otherwise it would ruin the movie for me!

In the end I chose Rose Byrne. She’s got just the right look for Libby.

Who would you choose to play Libby in a movie?

Claire Boston was a voracious reader as a child, devouring anything by Enid Blyton as well as series such as Nancy Drew, Trixie Belden, The Baby-sitters Club and Sweet Valley High. Then one school holidays when she’d run out of books to read her mother handed her ‘Hot Ice’ by Nora Roberts and Claire instantly fell in love with romance novels.

The love of reading soon turned to a love of writing and she struggled to keep within the 1500 word limit set by her teachers for her creative writing assignments. When she finally decided to become serious about her stories she joined Romance Writers of Australia, found her wonderful critique group and hasn’t looked back.

When Claire’s not reading or writing she can be found in the garden attempting to grow vegetables, or racing around a vintage motocross track. If she can convince anyone to play with her, she also enjoys cards and board games.

Claire lives in Western Australia, just south of Perth with her husband, who loves even her most annoying quirks, and her two grubby, but adorable Australian bulldogs.

    Brooke,
    I may be dating myself here, but I would have to say my favorite was Mitch Ryder (and the Detroit Wheels, “Devil with the blue dress”) or more modern I guess would have to be Huey Lewis….
