The Rock Star’s Baby: My Rock Star, #2

By Ava Walsh

He rocks like a bad boy. She's there to save his reputation.

 

Declan Xavier is the new rock sensation. He makes his audience scream, the girls swoon and the paparazzi go nuts. The blue-eyed, blonde haired bad boy is not only the latest musical craze, but the media love him because he gives them something new to write about every day.

 

His manager and friend, David Scott, knows this can only mean trouble. The only solution for Declan Xavier is to get a fake girlfriend to save his reputation.

 

Heidi Scott has big plans to open a bakery. If she works hard enough and long enough, she'll have the money she needs to invest in the bakery in a few years. But then, an unlikely incident causes a major setback for her plan. That is, until her brother, David, introduces her to Declan Xavier.

 

Declan offers her a deal: being his fake girlfriend in exchange for all the money she needs for her bakery.

 

It all makes sense, until it doesn't.

 

This is a stand-alone story in a series, featuring good girls and their rock stars. The books each have a HEA and contain plenty of rock, steamy love and surprise pregnancies. Definitely intended for 18+ readers.

Chapter One

Heidi couldn’t stop staring at the clock on the wall. Fifteen more minutes and her shift would end. Finally. These eight-hour shifts were grueling, especially because keeping a smile pasted on her face was a necessity. She felt her phone vibrate in the pocket of her apron and pulled it out. It was a text from her brother David. She didn’t know he was in town! He wanted her to come over and meet him backstage at the Spire. Declan Xavier had a concert there that evening. Heidi sighed and remembered to smile again.

There were still a few tables she needed to clear out before her shift ended, but the people sitting at them looked like they had no intention of leaving any time soon. She looked at the clock again. Thirteen minutes more.

Was everything alright? Can I get you guys anything else? Heidi walked up to one of the tables and stood in front of them with a wide smile on her face.

No thanks. Just the bill, please, one of the men said. He was looking at her with large, leery eyes, but Heidi tried to keep smiling. She was used to the creeps by now. Just as long as he didn’t touch her, she could deal with it. It was what she needed to do to get an extra tip.

Sure thing, she said, collecting the empty plates from the table. The man winked at her as she walked away, and she was dying to roll her eyes, but she didn’t; as long as she maintained that smile on her face, she could be assured an extra tip.

Off soon? Barry, another member of the waiting staff and her only friend at the cafe, asked as she walked over to place the plates on the collection table.

Can’t wait. I have to go meet my brother after this. Heidi sighed, dusting off her hands. Barry followed her over to the cash register, where she entered the table number.

Your brother? You mean the guy who manages Declan Xavier? Barry was excited. Heidi smiled, concentrating on printing out the bill for the table.

That’s him. My big brother David, a rock star’s manager. She said in an exaggerated sing-song voice. Everyone she knew had the same reaction when they found out her brother was David Scott, Declan Xavier’s manager and best friend. By association, it should have also made Heidi successful and cool, but Heidi knew she was far from it. It was two years since she had graduated from college with a Hotel Management degree and she was still working for other people, and no closer to owning the bakery she dreamed of opening.

Why are you still working here, Heidi? Can’t your brother get you a swanky job in the music industry? Barry was still following her and Heidi stopped in her tracks to look at him.

The last thing I want to do is work in the music industry. All they do is snort coke, fuck each other and waste their lives away, she said, placing a hand on her hip. She’d heard it before, this was nothing new. She was tired of explaining why she didn’t make use of her brother’s position.

And they also make music, Barry said with a smile. She knew he was only trying to help.

Let's just say that lifestyle doesn’t suit me, Heidi said, and walked away from him, back to the table. She placed the bill between the men, each of whom eyed it for a few seconds, before the guy who hadn’t winked at her reached for it and paid it in cash.

Thank you very much. Hope we see you again. Heidi tried to maintain an even voice, even though she was seething with rage; she had noticed the lack of a tip.

"Hope I see you again," the guy said, and this time, he had more than just a wink to offer her. He touched her waist lightly as he stood up
