Their increasingly passionate meetings leave her longing for more.

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?

“Hyperventilating” is the first story in the Rock My World series. For me rock stars are effortlessly sexy, and they have the advantage of being so even as they get older. Justin Hawkins, Steven Tyler and Jon Bon Jovi will never lose their attraction.

The story was originally inspired by a song by Peppercorn, “Hyperventilating”. I’m aiming to have all stories in the Rock My World series named after songs.

It took me a long time to find a suitable name for my hero. I eventually found it while watching “Rogue One”, which has a character named Cassian. 

My heroine Amber was inspired by episodes of “Glow Up”, a reality show for make-up artists. She has a unique look herself, designed to appear like a black-and-white photo with a dash of red lipstick, and she moves from applying basic make-up to designing elaborate looks for the band members – although I had to rein it in a little bit, as the looks on that show can take upwards of two hours.

The concept of riding off into the sunset with the hero is one I’ve always loved, and one of my favourite films is “Dancin’ Thru The Dark”, a film which ends with the heroine jumping into the back of the hero’s tour bus and disappearing into the night with him. So to have Amber running away from everything by boarding the band’s tour bus, as she has done at the start of the story, was a dream come true for me. Who hasn’t thought occasionally of flinging caution to the wind for the one you love?

There was only silence now from the other side of the door. No light showed under the lower edge. With any luck there was nobody in the central living area—she could be alone with herself and the window.

As she opened the door she was met with darkness, momentarily blinded. She closed the door behind her and carefully felt her way across the room, focusing on the moon through the glass.

Then from behind her she heard the distinctive twang of a guitar chord.

Cassian.

“Leave the light off. I’m just practising.”

“Sure.”

She heard him chuckle from the other side of the room.

“Say it in the voice.”

The voice.

When she and Elyse had first joined the tour, the band had insisted on knowing everything about the skills they had learnt during their performing arts studies. Costume, make-up, acting and, in Amber’s case, voice work. She had always considered her acting serviceable at best, but voices were her speciality—and one voice in particular, a deep, throaty bedroom voice, had been Cassian’s favourite.

She dropped into the husky, sensual tone. “Sure, honey.”

“Ah, yeah. That’s the stuff.” The sound of fingers running up the neck of the guitar. “That was the thing about Triona. Never could stand her voice.”

Everything in Amber’s head went very still. Triona.

“She was still good at your ritual, though, right?”

“Oh yeah. But, man.” His voice roughened. “It would have been way better in your voice.”
