One
day while watching the Interstate exit for her dad's long awaited
return, Libby's life is rocked when Peter Jamieson steps off his tour
bus and into her life. After a couple chance meetings with Peter,
Libby breaks away from her perfect behavior and her life changes
course.
Peter longs for normalcy away from the screaming fans
who know nothing about the real him. He is amazed to discover Libby
has never heard of him or his band. Soon their friendship turns to
love. While Peter battles his family's growing interference so he can
spend time with Libby, she struggles with her eccentric aunt who
turns more bizarre each day.
Angie Stanton never
planned on writing books, she wanted to be a Rockette. However,
growing up in a rural setting with her brothers' 4-H pigs as pets,
dance didn't work out. Instead she became an avid daydreamer. After
years of perfecting stories in her head she began to write them down
and the rest is history.
She loves dipping
french fries in chocolate shakes, all natural disaster movies and
Broadway Musicals. When not writing, Angie is concocting ways to make
more dreams come true, whether it be tickets to a Broadway show or
convincing her family they should rent an RV and travel the country.
She's still working on that one.
Angie is a proud
double finalist of the 2011 National Readers Choice Awards for Love
'em or Leave 'em, as well as a finalist for the Golden Quill Awards.

Excerpt
“I have something for you.” He had moved heaven and earth to pull this together.“You do?” Her eyes glittered in surprise.“Yup. Close your eyes and hold out your hands.” He couldn’t wait to see what she thought. Libby obeyed. Her dark eyelashes lay against her rosy cheeks. His heart beat in anticipation. He reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out a white plastic bag, then glanced up. Her closed eyes changed to little slits.“Hey, stop peeking!”Libby squeezed her eyes closed and laughed. She held out her hands and waited. Peter pulled the slim item out of the bag and placed it in her hands.“Okay, look.”She peered at the shiny device and then back at him in disbelief. “You gave me a cell phone?” She stared at the gift. “You gave me a cell phone!” This time she yelled it.Her excitement touched him. “It seemed like a good idea. You didn’t have a phone number to give me, and I really missed you. It’s gonna get harder to see you. I thought this way we could stay in touch and actually talk whenever we want.”She closed her hand around the precious phone and turned pensive.“Is something wrong?” He wondered what could have upset her.“I don’t know if I should accept this.” She gazed up at him with large doe eyes. He couldn’t believe this. She needed to take the phone.
“We barely know each other, and, well…” Mischief lit her face, and he wondered what she was up to. “We’ve never even kissed.”Peter paused and took a good look at her. He’d been wondering how to sneak a kiss; she just made it simple.
He tossed the umbrella aside and pulled her close. He let his fingers tangle in her wet hair and lowered his mouth to hers. He kissed her long and slow, taking his sweet time. Cold rain trickled down his neck as he savored each moment. Startled at first, Libby now matched his kiss. He enjoyed each touch of her tender lips.
He slowly pulled away.
“Now can you take the phone?” His forehead rested against hers.“Yeah, I think so,” she answered in a breathy voice.“I’d better be sure.” Empowered by their perfect chemistry, he leaned in for more. Her body melted against him. He wrapped his other arm around her and pulled her close.“Wow,” she whispered, her eyes dark and smoky.“Haven’t you ever been kissed before?” His eyes searched hers.“Not like that.”~Angie Stanton-Rock and a Hard Place
