Nikki’s
the flamboyant rhythm guitarist of the hard rock band Oblivion. He’s
a sexy rock star man-whore who’s accustomed to a life of music,
partying and a constant stream of girls that are ready, willing and
able!
Trixie’s
a feisty party girl who likes to have fun. She makes the most of her
single lifestyle and happy-go-lucky attitude. But she’s also a
hard-nosed business women who knows what she wants and goes out and
gets it. She lives her life by the motto ‘Work hard. Play hard’.
Neither
of them ‘do relationships’. But when their frequent hook-ups
start to develop into something more they realize that the connection
and pull between them is undeniable. The prospect of wanting more
than just mind-blowing sex from each other is a total shock to both
of them and it hits them like a bolt from the blue.
Can
they change their partying ways and give in to the irresistible
chemistry that sizzles between them? Do they even want to? And will
their past catch up with them to prevent them from giving the whole
relationship thing a proper try?
Excerpt~~ Only A Hook Up
“I
presume it’s okay with everyone if I just hang around here with you
guys for a couple of days.”
Everyone
responds with a “No problem.” I look across to Nikki and say,
“Don’t worry rock star, I won’t cramp your style. I know where
we stand. I won’t get all jealous if you hook up with groupies or
whatever.”
Nikki
looks at me, frowns angrily and mumbles back, “Trix, I know we’re
not serious, but why the hell would I want to hook up with some
random groupie when you’re here?”
“Oh
I don’t know, I just don’t want you to feel that you’re
obligated to me at all. I’m here visiting Eve and I’m just going
to hang-out and have some fun. I don’t want you to think I’m here
just to see you.”
As
soon as I hear it coming out of my mouth I know it sounds really
harsh.
Hansen
chuckles, “Fuck that stings.”
As I
look around the room the other guys all have raised eyebrows and
cringes on their faces. I look at Nikki who just looks totally
pissed.
Me and
Nikki are moving way too quickly. I can feel myself getting too
attached and that shit needs to stop now. This thing between us has
supposed to be just a hook-up, nothing serious, just fun.
Nikki
shakes his head, gets up and skulks off towards one of the bedrooms
shutting the door behind him. Shit, what the hell! Now I’ve hurt
his feelings?
Eve
frowns at me and shakes her head with a scolding look on her face.
The rest of the guys look a bit shocked and are glancing between each
other awkwardly.
“What?”
I screech. “This is ridiculous. Y’all are looking at me as if
I’ve kicked a puppy or something.”
I hear
Cody mumble, “Only if the puppy’s got black floppy hair, big
brown eyes and its name is Nikki.”
I
mutter under my breath, “Shit.”
There
are a few minutes of awkward near-silence then everyone starts to
chat casually again. After about half an hour Nikki comes back in and
slinks down into a seat on the opposite side of the room to me,
completely avoiding eye contact. Hell, this is precisely the reason
why I said we should keep it casual, now it’s just awkward.
After
a while Scott says his goodnights and heads off to his room. Hansen
gets up and raises his chin to Cody. “Come on Sticks, let’s go
out and find a club or something. I have a hankering for some loud
music, whisky and loose women.”
Cody
gets up and claps his hands enthusiastically, “Sounds like a
fucking brilliant idea. This shit’s getting a bit too heavy and
domesticated for my taste.”
Cody
and Hansen head towards the door. Nikki jumps up and glances quickly
at me, but avoids eye contact. “Hold up guys, I’m comin’ too. I
could do with a bit of fun.” All three of them head out the door.
Alrighty
then! I guess I’ve been well and truly put in my place. Eve looks
at me with a ‘you-brought-this-on-yourself’ smirk as she shrugs
her shoulders. Ash looks at me with pity.
Before
this gets really awkward I jump up and put on a fake smile. “Right,
I might just head down to the bar for a while to have some fun of my
own. Don’t you kids stay up waiting for me.” I quickly grab my
handbag, touch up my make-up and hair in the large mirror by the
front door and head out of the suite.

Info
The
first thing you need to know about me is that I genuinely believe in
true love and soul mates. I met my wonderful husband when we were
still at school. I was sixteen, he was seventeen, we are high school
sweethearts. Now more than twenty five years later, we are still very
much in love and are happily married with two beautiful children. We
live in picturesque New Zealand and I consider ourselves lucky to
live in this magnificent part of the world.
I
do have a full time job, but in my spare minutes I enjoy spending
time with my family, cooking and reading. I’m an avid reader and
tend to chomp through a large volume of books, mainly in the romance
genre. And of course my other major ‘hobby’ is writing steamy
rock star erotic romances!
I
started writing in early 2014. After spending many years writing
business documentation, and constantly being inspired by numerous
romance novels, I decided to try my hand at fictional writing. After
penning my first scene I discovered that I enjoyed it immensely and
so resolved to continue with the rest of the story that was swirling
in my imagination. That story resulted in my first novel, Heaven
Sent.
