Kathryn Shaw has had an eventful and unusual life considering she is only 25 years old. She is feisty, wired and generous to a fault. After spending most of her childhood in a Care Home, she convinces herself that romance is not on the cards for her. Unable to sleep from a recurring nightmare of drowning, she takes nighttime work in a bistro, just off the King’s Road in London, which enables her to paint seascapes during the day. Sharing a house with other weird tenants reinforces her suspicions that they also prefer nocturnal activities.

Theo knows what's possible... Because he's learned the hard way what's not. The internationally successful supermodel known as Angel stole his heart forever when she was just Lyssa Monroe. There's never been another woman who could compete—he even loved Lyssa enough to let her walk away when she said it was over. When they meet again, he's determined to make one glimpse of her sustain him for another decade. When Lyssa offers him one night together, Theo can't say no—even though he knows a taste will only tempt him to hope for more all over again. Lyssa has tasted forbidden fruit... And she can't forget it, no matter how hard she tries. Theo's love is a touchstone for all that is pure and good in the chaos her life has become. When she sees him again, everything is simple for once and only one choice is possible. The secret she keeps from Theo could destroy any chance of a future together, but surely she can keep it hidden for just one more night. Or maybe two. How much will she sacrifice to defend her son—and how far will Theo go to convince her give them a second chance? This book was previously published under the title Bad Case of Loving You.

This volume is the first book-length study of hooks in popular music. Hooks - those memorable musical moments for listeners such as a riff or catchy melodic phrase – are arguably the guiding principle of much modern popular music. The concept of the hook involves aspects of melody, rhythm, harmony, production, lyrical and cultural meaning - and how these interact within a song’s topline and backing track. Hooks are also inherently related to the human capacities for memory and attention, and interact with our previous experiences with music. Understanding hooks in popular music requires a new interdisciplinary approach drawing from popular music studies, pop musicology, and music psychology, and this book draws from each of these disciplines to understand the hooks present in a broad range of popular music styles from the last thirty years.
