The Rock Star’s Pretend Girlfriend: My Rock Star, #3

By Ava Walsh

Live life, be daring. Take a chance. On me.

 

Mindy Cassidy owes her older brother big time. So when he asks her to be his best friend's fake girlfriend while their band is on tour, she agrees. There's no woman alive who wouldn't want to be in her shoes.

 

The problem is that she spent her entire high school years daydreaming about Devon. How will this virgin hide her feelings when she has to kiss him for the cameras?

 

Devon Jennings is a world-class a**, his arrogance is incredible and his affairs are all over the newspaper. His record label gives him the choice. Either he settles down with a good girl, or they're dropping the band and it's back to playing in garages.

 

So he agrees to a fake romance with his best friend's baby sister. Turns out she's all grown up with some rocking curves. Being around her is like a slow sort of torture. Can he be a good enough guy to not take advantage of their forced close proximity?

 

What started as a fake romance soon has both Mindy and Devon questioning everything they stand for. Can Mindy protect her heart? Is there a way to dampen the fire between them? Do they even want to? And when a small present arrives, will Devon face his demons and do the right thing?

Chapter One - Mindy

Mindy Cassidy waited in a room off from the concert hall for the biggest new band in the country, August Doll . Her older brother had begged her to come, telling her he needed a big favor before she went back to school in the fall.

She’d come right away because she’d do anything for Bret. Her brother had always been there for her and, even now, he paid her tuition so she could attend school for her Bachelor’s in psychology.

She flipped her long auburn hair over her shoulder as she heard the band finish the last song of their set. She knew the set by heart, had heard it a million times since they were just a garage band, practicing at her parents’ house.

August Doll had hit it big with their first album, something even she could barely believe. She just hoped she didn’t have to run into Devon Jennings. He and her brother had been best friends since they were in middle school.

As a teen, she’d had the worst crush ever on the lead singer. She was certain she’d acted like a love-struck idiot, barely able to string together sentences whenever he was around.

She’d rush up to her room, certain the rest of the band was making fun of her because it was so obvious. All the same, she’d had torrid fantasies about losing her virginity to Devon. Sometimes, even now, she’d dream about him. And she still hadn’t found anyone who could compare to her feelings for Devon. Because of that, she still held onto her pesky V-card. It was humiliating to be twenty-one and still a virgin. She had lied to her friends that she had a summer fling last year and gone all the way with a boy from home.

Bret walked into the room and Mindy jumped up to give him a big hug. He grabbed her up and spun her around. Min, it’s good to see you, kid.

He ruffled her hair like she was twelve, not of proper drinking age.

Devon strolled in behind him, glowering at them both, and went straight for the makeshift bar set up in a corner.

The familiar shock went through Mindy, that strike of attraction straight to her core, and she cursed herself a dozen times over for still wanting the man when he’d shown her zero interest. Not to mention, Devon was not a nice guy. He’d recently been splashed all over the papers for his tumultuous affair with a supermodel, and the subsequent end when Devon had trashed a nightclub after a big fight with her ex.

Mindy turned her back on Devon as he poured himself a shot of vodka. So, what’s this big favor you need?

It’s okay to say no, Bret started, holding out his hands.

No, it’s not. The label was pretty damn clear, Devon said from behind her. Mindy turned to peer at him. What was he talking about?

Say no to what, exactly?

Bret huffed and put a hand on the back of his neck. This was obviously not coming easy for him.

Mindy took him by the hand and tugged him to the big sofa in the middle of the room. Just say it, Bret. I’ll do whatever you need me to do.

All right. Devon needs a girlfriend.

Her eyes widened and her cheeks flamed. Didn’t everyone know exactly how she felt about Devon? This was like her worst nightmare. Then again, Bret would never have asked if he had any clue she wanted Devon so badly.

Why would you think of me? He’s never had any trouble finding women to bed. She pretended like he wasn’t even in the room. It would make this conversation so much easier.

Devon stalked over to stand before them and glared down at her, singling her out. One word: discretion. You can be trusted to keep your mouth shut about our fake romance.

She squirmed under his dark-eyed gaze. He had long blonde hair, which he wore
