Scandalous Beat: Rockstar Enemies to Lovers Romance

Written by Michelle Mankin

Narrated by Kai Kennicott and Wen Ross

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?

Michelle Mankin is the author of the Black Cat Records series of novels. Romance with subtext. Reimagining classic stories with sexy rock stars and thought provoking issues. For many years she worked in the insurance industry as an underwriter. Somehow, the boredom didn't kill her but the hours and hours of looking at facts and figures provided ample time for her mind to wander. Black Cat Records in Vancouver provides the central backdrop for all of Michelle’s current novels. Love Evolution, Love Revolution, and Love Resolution are a Brutal Strength centered trilogy, combining the plot underpinnings of Shakespeare with the drama, excitement, and indisputable sexiness of the rock 'n roll industry. Things take a bit of an edgier, once upon a time turn with the Tempest series. These pierced, tatted, and troubled Seattle rockers are young and on the cusp of making it big, but with serious obstacles to overcome that may prevent them from ever getting there. When Michelle is not prowling the streets of her Texas town listening to her rock music much too loud, she is putting her daydreams down on paper or traveling the world with her family and friends, sometimes for real, and sometimes just for pretend as she takes the children to school and back.
