Up-and-coming rock star Briar Rose sings songs of love inspired by fairy tales, though she doesn't waste time believing in them. Scared and tired of being alone, she has seen first hand that happily ever afters don't exist. In fact, they always end in divorce. All she needs to make her life complete is to get her own tour, and the only thing that may hinder that are the threatening letters she has been receiving. With a career as a bodyguard, and drowning in debt, no-nonsense twenty-nine-year-old Holly Prince has never faced a challenge or temptation she couldn't handle--especially when it comes to clients. As for love, she has gone down that road before and will not allow herself to go down that road again. When an unusually high offer comes in to protect the daughter of a famous rock star, Holly jumps at the chance, knowing that it will be what she needs to get her life back on track. When the rigid bodyguard and the rock star beauty meet, tempers are as hot as the instant attraction. But as the two begin to open up, they find that they might just have more in common that they first thought. In order for this modern day Sleeping Beauty and her Dashing Princess to get the storybook ending they both deserve, they will have to find the fairytale magic that exists not in book or song, but much closer than they ever imagined.
