Summary from Goodreads:
Straight-laced, veterinary surgeon, Summer Wynters is ready to break the rules. And who better to break them with than the most irreverent of all men, mega rock star Malcolm Angel? With one last summer free from work obligations, Summer moves to New York City, and at the coaxing of her friend, pretends to be a model so she can spend one wild night with Malcolm.
Rock star, Malcolm Angel, tortured by a dark past, may be the poet laureate of romance, but he, like science-minded Summer, has never believed in romantic love. How could he? With his history, he doesnât deserve to be loved.
When Summerâs honesty, kindness, and exuberance for life changes his perspective, the two discover they are in deeper than either dreamed possible. But when Malcolm discovers Summerâs been perpetuating a lie, will he forgive her? Even if forgiveness is possible, can a man immune to love teach someone else to believe in it?
Excerpt
âHow did you go through life with that nameâ¦?â Malcolmâs eyes flashed with happiness. âI mean, if I wrote it, people would crucify me. What were your parents thinking?â
Summer froze. Suddenly the walls began closing in on her.
âI mean, do they love you at all?â Malcolm chuckled.
Summerâs feet refused to move, and her arms lay limp at her side.
âSummer?â Malcolmâs smile faded. âSum?â
The sound of her nickname spoken by Malcolm did her in. She desperately fought the mounting tears.
Malcolm stared at her. âItâs not your name youâre upset about, is it?â
Summer clenched her jaw and shook her head.
âIâm sorry.â His voice was low and modulated.
She nodded, looking at Malcolm, and wanting, for the first time ever, to have someone make it all okay. To have him make it all okay.
Malcolm grew quiet. They stood there for whole minutes.
âIâm sorry if I touched on a sore subject. Really.â
Summer stared at himâthis man who had everything except the answer she needed. How could he be so closed off? How could he care so little about the pain of another living creature?
He stepped forward then, as if reading her mind. He took her hand gently, and leaned over, speaking quietly into her ear. âItâs not that I donât care.â
Those few words found a place deep in Summerâs soul.
Malcolm stood up tall, and Summerâs eyes followed him. He reached out and stroked her cheek as he spoke. âBut Iâve got nothing more to give than today.â
