Amber Blake is fleeing a terrible betrayal in her past by touring with rock band Puppetmaster as a make-up artist with her best friend Elyse. Knowing the band is struggling, she hopes to use her make-up skills to reinvent their image, but when a member of the crew drops out, Amber finds herself asked to contribute in a different way – in the form of heated sexual conversations with hot lead singer Cassian Marsh to put him in top form before every concert.
Despite her past, Amber is unable to resist Cassian’s charm and raw energy, and enjoys knowing she can drive him wild with just her voice – but their increasingly passionate meetings leave her longing for more. Can she move past the betrayal she suffered – and can she convince a man as commitment-phobic as Cassian to break his no-dating rule and let her into his heart?
Read an excerpt:
The music changed to a darker, heavier track and Amber felt goosebumps rise on her skin. If You’re Cold. This was one of their best ones.
Watching Cassian perform was definitely the best part of her job. During the day she never allowed her gaze to linger on him—at night was a different matter. At night she could hide in the shadows, no longer having to deal with the masks they wore every day.
Cassian behind his mask was just so…real.
But she had had enough musician boyfriends to know getting involved with another would be a bad idea, even if the men of Puppetmaster hadn’t been perpetually unavailable. Nate’s relationship with Elyse was considered a blip. Cassian hadn’t had a girlfriend in years.
And Cassian, she knew, was well out of reach.
But, God, was he worth looking at.
His lean, muscular arms exposed by his leather waistcoat, his slim hips, the tattoos that decorated his taut stomach, tempting her to follow their lines with her tongue. The way his sweat glistened on his skin as he moved, catching her eye with every motion.
But Amber knew, even if it were possible, it would be a very, very bad idea.
And she had had enough bad ideas to last a lifetime.

My journey to becoming a writer
It’s standard practice for a writer to say they’ve been writing all their life. In my case, I started writing seriously in my teens. I wrote two books as a teenager which were, frankly, terrible, but which were good training in planning and finishing a story – and also provided some characters I could make use of in later writing.
I had a lot of stories planned out in my twenties, but started writing my debut novel when I was 27 after hitting on an idea that refused to go away. As I was reaching 30 I had a brief period of turning-30 panic and decided to both finish the novel and sign up for a writing course in the hope of improving. It was one of the best things I’d done, as my mentor on the course was a reader for the Romantic Novelists’ Association New Writers’ Scheme, which I immediately joined so that I could get feedback on my novel. I also attended a workshop called How to Get Published which gave me feedback on my synopsis and told me to target erotic romance publishers, as up until that point I had been branding myself as a women’s fiction writer.
The feedback I received from the RNA was tough but fair; I rewrote my debut novel and started submitting it to publishers. Seven publishers later The Hand He Dealt was accepted by Totally Bound and I haven’t stopped writing since.
Hyperventilating is the first novella I’ve written as part of a series. The Rock My World series follows my favourite type of hero – rock stars – and I can’t wait to dig deeper into what makes them tick, what makes them inspired, and what makes them hot.
