Everything Pales in Comparison — Rebecca Swartz

Constable Emma Kirby isn't minding her latest assignment in the least. Security detail for a rising country music sensation's concert is easy on the eyes and ears -- until a deadly explosion tears open the night.

After running into danger to save the life of singer/songwriter Daina Buchanan, Emma finds herself also a target of the stalker who claims responsibility. With both their lives in danger and turned upside down, Emma is charged with ensuring their safety. But independent and fiery-tempered Daina proves difficult to work with, even after she agrees to protective custody.

For the reserved Emma, life with a self-absorbed musician whom she is expected to protect is the last thing she needs. Daina Buchanan, she soon finds, is used to getting what she wants.

Passion and music are the backdrop for heart-pounding tension in this debut novel from Rebecca Swartz.
