Off the Record

A Prelude

2020

Two introductory novellas in one great package! Deep dive into the world of Black Halo with enigmatic rhythm guitarist, Spook Mortensen, and the fiery redhead who pushes his limits… Remastered: Spook Mortensen locked down his heart along with his libido years ago. No woman has come close to awakening those repressed urges, until Allegra Hutton, the sound engineer hired to remaster one of his band’s old tracks, turns out to be a curvy bombshell who puts his emotions on red alert. Turn the volume up to eleven, and experience the thrill of music being made… Resistor: Spook Mortensen has one rule when it comes to relationships: just say no. He has his reasons. Good reasons. His policy of total abstinence has kept him out of trouble for years. Sex ought to be the last thing on his mind, but whenever go-getting sound engineer Allegra Hutton shows up, she doesn’t just hijack his libido, she downright screws with it. The only way to deal with her is to tie her up. Alle realises she’s upsetting Spook’s rhythm, but she’s under no illusion that he’s the right top to warm her bottom.

Replay

2020

When the heart-rending mistakes of your past are stuck on repeat, you’re destined to replay every painful beat. Rock guitarist Spook Mortensen never had trouble keeping his desires in check until Alle Hutton gate-crashed his life and reignited his libido. Now his life’s careening out of control. With Black Halo about to embark on their first official cruise and Alle along for the trip, Spook knows that not succumbing to temptation will require constant vigilance and ingenuity. Alle’s determined to prove to Spook—and everyone else—that his deviant desires don’t make him a monster, and she’s willing to put her heart on the line to prove it. 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 him to explore their sizzling chemistry. Luckily, she’s always up for a challenge. When the return of a figure from Spook’s past leaves him emotionally untethered, Spook and Alle’s burgeoning relationship is put to the ultimate test. When trust is compromised, only the truth will suffice. But can their relationship survive the revelation? Replay is an angsty, spicy, heart-wrenching rockstar romance with flawed characters and intense friendships, in which secrets emerge, loyalties are tested, and past mistakes hold fast with a tenacious grip. Prepare to have your heart ripped out and stomped on. This is the second novel in the Off the Record series and forms part of the wider Black Halo world. These books are intended to be read in order.
