Se suponía que iban a ser unas vacaciones relajantes y soleadas en compañía de mi hermano, pero descubrir un cadáver en nuestra casa de alquiler ha acabado con nuestros planes de broncearnos. Ahora un cazarrecompensas impertinente ha llegado en su moto para atrapar al asesino, pero se niega a creer que yo pueda ser util, a pesar de las innumerables horas de podcast sobre crimenes que he escuchado. Por no mencionar mi exitosa carrera como profesora de niños revoltosos. Un cazarrecompensas descarado y una maestra energica: sin duda, el equipo de resolucion de crimenes que nadie ha pedido. Pero, gracias a estos inoportunos atentados contra mi vida, hemos acabado atrapados juntos contra viento y marea. Estoy aqui para hacer mi trabajo, no para hacer de niñero de una detective aficionada. Aunque cada vez me cuesta menos tenerla cerca. De acuerdo, es obstinada, molesta y es incapaz de mantenerse alejada del peligro. Pero tambien es valiente y atractiva y me recuerda al hogar que deje hace tres años. A decir verdad, el deseo insaciable y la necesidad de protegerla que despierta en mi son una amenaza para mi paz mental. Antes de verme arrastrado por esta peligrosa atraccion, necesito resolver este asesinato y volver a la carretera. Pero ¿me la arrebatara el destino antes de comprender que el camino me ha estado guiando hasta ella todo este tiempo?

Puede que Melody Gallard sea la hija de una leyenda de la música, pero su mundo está muy lejos de ser glamuroso. Se pasa los días restaurando libros antiguos y evitando los focos (ya tuvo suficiente con una foto suya en los tabloides, gracias). Pero cuando un productor le ofrece una considerable suma de dinero por reunir al grupo de su madre en television, Mel empieza a preguntarse si ha llegado el momento de darle un giro a su apacible vida y reencontrarse con el: la unica persona en el mundo, aparte de ella, que podria enfrentarse a las divas del rock and roll.Beat Dawkins, el hijo de la solista principal, es la antitesis de Melody: la camara lo adora, podria encandilar a cualquiera y su madre no es una lider de culto en potencia. Aun asi, el y Mel podrian haber sido mejores amigos de no haber sido por la disputa que separo a la banda para siempre. Cuando se conocieron siendo solo adolescentes, Mel sintio una chispa instantanea, pero eso no fue nada en comparacion con la salvaje e intensa atraccion que surge entre ellos cuando se embarcan en la disparatada mision de convencer a sus respectivas madres para que se reunan en una ultima actuacion.Mientras lidia con las excentricidades de las estrellas del rock, un equipo de rodaje 24 horas al dia y multitud de fans entregados, Mel empieza a salir de su zona de confort. Con Beat a su lado, animandola, nunca antes se habia sentido tan comprendida.

De modo que la deja sin dinero y para que aprenda lo que es la responsabilidad, la envia al estado de Washington, donde acabara regentando el bar de su difunto padre junto con su hermana. Piper no lleva ni cinco minutos en Westport cuando conoce a Brendan, un corpulento y barbudo capitan de barco, que cree que no durara ni una semana lejos de Beverly Hills. ¿Que pasa si es una negada con las matematicas y si la idea de dormir en un piso cochambroso con literas le da escalofrios? Tan malo no puede ser, ¿verdad? Esta decidida a demostrarle a su padrastro, y tambien a ese capitan de barco tan guapo y gruñon, que es mas que una cara bonita. El problema es que esta en un pueblo pequeño y se cruza con Brendan cada dos por tres. La extrovertida reina de las fiestas y el pescador gruñon son polos opuestos, pero la quimica que surge entre ellos es innegable. Piper no quiere distracciones, ni mucho menos sentir algo por un hombre que se pasa semanas faenando en el mar. Sin embargo, a medida que reconecta con su pasado y empieza a sentirse como en casa en Westport, empieza a plantearse si la fria y glamurosa vida que ha llevado hasta el momento es la que desea de verdad. Aunque siente la llamada de Los Angeles, tal vez Brendan y ese pueblo lleno de recuerdos hayan conquistado su corazon.
