Scandalous Beat: Rockstar Enemies to Lovers Romance

A rock star. A stripper. Can a hookup lead to a happily ever after?


Juaquin Acenado. A drummer. A rapper. A rock king. My brother’s best friend. Arrogant. Forbidden. Do-not-go-there-trouble. The sexy Latino was too old for me when we first met and I was in high school. But he was my first love. I’ve never gotten over him.


Miriam Jackson. Stripper. Exotic dancer. Her stage name is Queen. My bandmate’s little sister. Spicy and sweet. The spark that fires my inspiration. The rhythm to my beat. She’s the one I imagine when I settle for the others. My ultimate fantasy. Only I can never have her. Until I arrive in Vegas to record my solo rap album, visit a strip club, and there she is.


Miriam was supposed to be in college, but she’s not. She is so not.


Sin City, a place where anything can happen, and I’m the only one in the band who knows her secret. So why resist anymore? Who could possibly stop me?
