Release Date: May 17
Zoe Atkins wanted exactly one thing. To be the world’s greatest percussionist. Instead, she’s on a tour bus engaged in a stupid bet with rock star, Alex King, trying to fill the hole left behind when her dream gave up on her.
The prickly former percussionist wasn’t supposed to steal his heart. With her distrust of lipstick and love of men’s pyjamas, she was everything playboy, Alex, didn’t want in a lover. At least, that’s what he thought when he bet her he could find her a hook up during their tour. Until he’s forced to watch the woman he’s come to desire leave the bar with her perfect guy, taking a piece of his already bruised and battered heart with her.
Now it’s up to the Sad Fridays’ rocker to use his passionate powers of persuasion to convince Zoe he’s more than her wingman. He’s her everything.

MY REVIEW
What should Zoe do when Alex, the guy she's been developing a small crush on, wants to be her wingman and find her a hookup? Why does she even need one? What she wants is to find her life's direction. Since she started losing her hearing, she's dropped out of school and is drifting along. Being on tour with Alex's band and her best friend, Cerys, should be giving her some direction, but it's not. And Alex being in her space trying to find her a guy is definitely not helping matters.
Alex has been burned by his past relationships, so he's stopped trying. Now he just hooks up and then moves on. Then Zoe goes on tour with his band, and he's developing feelings for her that he never expected. He knows he can't offer her the commitment she wants, but perhaps he can try. Will she ever trust him enough to lean on him? To let him in a little?
This is a heartfelt, wonderfully told story, very much out of the box for a rockstar romance. Alex's pansexuality is handled in a sensitive, deft way, without over the top exaggerations or stereotypes. Zoe's hearing too, is handled beautifully with a steady hand - not too heavy, not too delicate. I loved their story, loved them as a couple, and am really excited to read more about these rockstars finding love.

The tattoo across my right hip says it all really. A Life Less Ordinary. Inked by the amazingly talented Luke Wessman at the Wooster Street Social Club (a.k.a. New York Ink). Why is it important? Well, it sums up my view on life. That we should all aspire to live a life that is less boring, less predictable. Be bold, and do something amazing. I’ve made some crazy choices. I’ve been a car maker, a consultant, and even a senior executive at a large retailer running strategy.
Born in England, spent time in the U.S. and Japan, before ending up in Canada where I met my own, personal hero – all six and a half feet of him. Both of us are scorpios! Yeah, I know! Should have checked the astrological signs earlier, but somehow it works for us. We have two amazing kids, who I either could never part with or could easily be convinced to sell on e-bay.
I’ve wanted to be a writer for a really long time. Check through my office cupboards or my computer and you’ll find half written stories and character descriptions everywhere. Now I'm getting the chance to follow that dream.
