Pulse

**HE WAS UNTOUCHABLE, A FANTASY, NOT EVEN IN REAL…**

**....until he was standing three feet from her, close enough to touch.**

Alyssa Canzoni has worshipped Crucible of Lucifer from the time she hit puberty. Their music brought her through hell and back when she was a teenager—through her parent’s divorce, past the break-up with her first true love, and out of losing her best friend in a car wreck freshmen year of college. She doubts whether anyone knows what it feels like to *truly *love something so much it *hurts*. To Alyssa, C&L isn’t just some stupid band—it’s a group of people who inspired her to survive her childhood and emerge victorious as a strong young woman. The band taught her what it meant to be hip and that creativity wasn’t “evil,” despite what her conservative Christian mother constantly tells her.

And now, as a mid-20s woman on the prowl for some adventure straight out of college, she gets to meet the lead guitarist, Callum. He is a **smooth**, **thick** piece of **man-meat** that Alyssa has fantasized about doing **naughty** things with for as long as she can remember. He’s got **black hair** and **full, pouty lips**. His **shoulders** are as wide as his **waist** is narrow. What’s more, though, Callum is the pure embodiment of *cool*, which is something the other members of the band cannot emulate. Even from the outside, Alyssa can tell this man’s élan has torn many a rift in the band’s group dynamic. But he cannot help being a **sexy son-of-a-b*tch** anymore than Alyssa can make plans to get into his penthouse the night she swipes VIP back-stage tickets to a concert on the spur of the moment.

Alyssa is young and free, and no one will stop her from getting close to the man of her dreams. She just hopes he will be as receptive to her advances as she has dreamed about since she was a 13-year old girl.
