Over the Line by Cindy Gerard
4.0
The story of Ethan and "Sweet Baby Jane", the rocker superstar with a stalker that he's assigned to protect.
Janey is nothing like Ethan expected, and his assignment both easier, since she's the farthest thing from a spoiled diva, and a lot harder, since it soon becomes apparent that her stalker isn't the only one they have to worry about. The attraction between them isn't helping things, especially since Ethan doesn't want to mess his first assignment on the job, but can't seem to be able to resist crossing the line with an all too willing Janey.
The two give each other the understanding and connection they hadn't known they'd needed, and support each other through a series of difficult situations that lead to them falling in love.
That's not all, though, and it soon comes to light that Janey's mom was not killed by a simple hit-and-run accident, but was actually murdered by an assassin for hire, who also killed a number of other women whose names Janey found in her late mother's safety deposit box along with a man's photograph who Janey assumes must have been her father's. Eventually the mystery is solved, when the TV preacher who'd been advocating against Janey as the spawn of Satan, proves to be her father and the father of children of the other women who were killed, and his psycho wife hired the assassin to get rid of them and keep her hypocrite husband's name clean.
A little too complex, with a number of threads tangling up along the way and keeping you guessing as to who is really behind what until the end and culminating in a very engaging story.
The series continues with Under the Wire and the story of Manny, a friend of Ethan's who joins EDEN investigations.

Spoiler
It turns out that apart from Janey's recently released from prison stalker, who really is after her and murders a couple of people in her circle that he feels are standing between him and Janey, a reporter who is supposedly working on an article about Janey is trying to stir things up between her and her bandmates to create more drama, while her trusted manager is being blackmailed by the mafia bookie he'd got himself tangled with due to his gambling addiction.That's not all, though, and it soon comes to light that Janey's mom was not killed by a simple hit-and-run accident, but was actually murdered by an assassin for hire, who also killed a number of other women whose names Janey found in her late mother's safety deposit box along with a man's photograph who Janey assumes must have been her father's.
