Off the Record

Celibate, sadistic, & screwed. Rock guitarist Spook knows he shouldn't give in to the dark and dirty desires that turn him from a saint into a filthy monster, and holding himself in check has never been an issue until Alle Hutton walked into his life. Now, as Black Halo embark upon their first official cruise, Alle's along with him as his plus one, and not succumbing to temptation requires constant vigilance and ingenuity. Unafraid and determined to prove to Spook-and everyone else, thanks to her brother's meddling-that he is no monster; Alle's willing to put her heart on the line. But being in love doesn't mean she's blind to reality. She knows Spook's keeping secrets and that coaxing them out of him will be as, if not more, challenging than enticing his sexy, celibate self between the sheets, but she's never been one to cave under pressure. However, when a slice of Spook's past unexpectedly returns leaving him emotionally untethered, it sets in motion a series of events that pushes their burgeoning relationship to its limits. When trust is compromised, only the truth will suffice. But, can their relationship survive the revelation? From the bestselling author of Anything But Vanilla comes a tale of carnal torment, determination, British humour, and good old rock 'n' roll angst. Replay is the second of three novels about Spook Mortensen, set in the world of goth rockers Black Halo.

When burying your heart and being alone forever is less terrifying than letting your demons out. Rock guitarist Spook Mortensen wants nothing to do with sex, love, or intimacy. Having had his heart brutally destroyed by the explosive ending of his first real relationship, he's content to remain celibate forever. Better that than being a monster.Sound engineer Allegra Hutton can't forget the mad chemistry that sparked between her and Spook the previous times their paths crossed. They've been text buddies for a year. When their paths collide on the Riviera, the reckless energy that burns between them rekindles and reaches new heights. But Spook has no intention of letting his guard down or Alle in. Good thing Alle's a born fighter. She's determined to get her man, and she's not giving up, even if that means digging into Spook's past to break through the barriers he erects. Unfortunately, she's not the only one out to expose him… Reflex is an angsty, spicy, heart-wrenching rockstar romance featuring flawed characters with hidden depths, families you wouldn't wish on anyone, and the ones you build for yourself.
