big-time music producer, sound engineer, or a famous singer. Kylie might have been young, but she ran through all the bands she knew, all the artists on the charts, but she couldn’t remember Markus’ face. His face was hard to forget.
    Taking deep breaths, she told herself not to freak out. She picked up the top book and started to read.
    First verse
    I believe I have found my only
    In a dark time in my life.
    When I needed love, and I had given up
    Love struck me in the head.
    I looked to see the woman of my dreams run from me.
    She ran with my heart and I feared I would never see what was lost
    But then I found and she again ran from me.
    This time I will capture her.
    This time you will see
    There is nothing to run from.
    I will make you see you’re all there is for me
    Chorus
    When I see her, she is all there is to me.
    When I touch her, I feel alive.
    I would give my all just to have her for one night.
    She is my world, my one and only delight.
    Second verse
    Can I catch her?
    Can I keep her?
    Will she let me be her one?
    I will give up whatever if she will let me be the man she wakes up to every morning.
    I have given my heart and I hope she keeps it safe.
    Will she keep it?
    Will she hold it?
    Can I hold onto her tight?
    As
    Chorus +2
    Last verse
    I will do anything to prove she will always be my one and only.
    So I sit here now praying she sees
    I am her one, the only one she should see.
    I will never give up.
    I will fight to my last breath to show her she is my one true love, the only one for me.
    Chorus +2
    I have her now and I’m never letting go.
    Kylie read it several times, frozen, unable to move until a voice she knew well said, “Do you want me to sing it for you?”
    She nodded and tried to calm her racing heart.
    He casually moved around everything and sat next to her, reaching for the guitar as he murmured, “Remember, this may be rusty.”
    She didn’t say anything as he sang. Her heart was beating fast. Oh God! His voice was like an angel’s. When he sang, his eyes filled with a light that hypnotized her. She knew he was going to break her heart.
    Kylie had never been so scared in her life. If Markus left her, he would break her heart. She knew whom the song was about. As much as she hated to admit it, she wasn’t the only one who felt the chemistry between them. The problem was what should she do now? Because he wasn’t who she’d thought he was.

Chapter 5
    Markus watched the emotions cross Kylie’s face as he sang the song he’d written about meeting her. Her song. At first, she looked surprised, her mouth in an O shape. Next, she looked happy, and then she moved on to worried. The last expression seemed scared, her eyes wide, looking anywhere but him as she played with her hands and bit her lips.
    He would have to fight for what they had. When he’d woken to find her gone from his bed, he’d been scared she had run, especially when he didn’t find her in the bathroom. He’d shoved on his sweatpants, only to realize he was still sticky from sex, and then it dawned on him that he hadn’t used protection. He always wore a condom. He’d even stopped sex before because he didn’t have one. Markus hadn’t ever trusted any woman to take care of protection, even when he knew they took the pill.
    He had wondered if she’d run because of that. He searched his house, surprised and relieved to find her in his music room. He debated what he should tell her. The whole truth? Or just enough to keep her happy?
    He finished the song. Kylie sat quietly for a moment before she closed her eyes and whispered, “You sing like an angel. You’re going to break my heart.” She let out a loud sigh. “Sing it again for me.”
    Leaning forward, he brushed his lips against hers. “Kiss me, and I’ll do anything you want.”
    She let out a moan, opened her eyes, and pulled him closer to her. Not caring about his guitar, he dropped it on the floor as she slid his pants off and moved to straddle his
