Romance is the last thing Lynne Walton needs in her life. On the run from her unscrupulous manager and traitorous fellow lead singer in her band, Southern Belle, she must hide until her singing contract expires. Both men will do anything to make her sign another contract to continue making millions off of her songs and singing. She wants freedom to choose the songs she sings and writes. Disguised, she sings in a bar catering to the military. Onstage, she spots him wearing a cowboy hat with a slightly lopsided smile. She cannot get involved with the handsome military man.

Clay 'Mustang' Rolariat sips on a beer in his favorite San Diego bar with his SEAL Team, the Lucky Aces. The woman onstage has been the star of his dreams for months, but she won't acknowledge his existence. So far his good looks have no impact on the beautiful singer. Losing a bet to a teammate, he must sing during karaoke night, which Lynne emcees.

After one night together, sparks fly between the two. Neither have time for relationships. Taking them both by surprise, they try to manage their growing feelings. But love can't be managed.

Together with the Lucky Aces Team, Clay and Lynne work through one problem after the next, from blackmail to kidnapping. It seems they are never going to be safe. In the end, they find their way safely back to each other with more than they began.
