Blurb:
Eliza Smith has never been the one to seek
a relationship. She’s never dated a guy in her life, never even hugged a man
(outside of her father/manager of the hot and popular rock band, FireNine) but
when she decides to spend her summer on tour with FireNine, it all changes.
Eliza really gets to meet Gage Grendel - her former crush from high school and
the lead singer of FireNine - and witness sides to him to which she’ll begin to
truly despise.
She’ll ignore him, she’ll dislike his ways, she’ll do anything to try and stay away from him until Gage finally gets her to slip up and give in. She agrees on a casual fling with Gage, but soon they’ll both see how the fling will blur into something they can’t control and when it’s finally time for Eliza to go and accomplish her own dreams, she’ll know there’s more she took from Gage than she ever thought possible.

Excerpt:
Grabbing the bar
soap, I lathered it over me, my head tilted back in the running water until the
bathroom door creaked open. My eyes widened, seeing Gage through the opaque
glass door of the shower. His figure was solid, sexy. His strides toward the
shower were cautious as he placed the towel on the rod.
He was about to
turn around, but, surprisingly, I called his name and he stopped, taking a
glance over his shoulder. A million thoughts were running through my drunken
head. One of them was to tell him thanks… just because. Another was to ask for
a kiss. It was odd, but I just wanted to feel him. The last was to tell him to
come into the shower with me.
“Yeah?” Gage
called, turning around.
I chewed on my
bottom lip, the silence ringing between us. Finally, I asked, “Can you come in
with me?”
He remained quiet
for a few seconds. Through the opaque glass, he was perfectly still. Unmoving.
Then, slowly and still quiet, he pulled his shirt over his head. He unbuttoned
his jeans, kicked off his shoes, slid out of his boxers and jeans, and then
walked toward the shower. My heart raced with each step closer. It raced even
more as he grabbed the handle of the shower door and slid it open.
He stepped in
without looking at me and I stepped beneath the water, as if it were going to
hide my naked body. I held the bar of soap against my chest and as soon as Gage
slid the shower door shut behind him, his heavy hazel eyes met mine.
For the most part,
we were quiet. It wasn’t awkward to stare because he had more than enough to
stare at and keep me quiet. Although the features of his face were hard, his
eyes were tranquil, admiring the naked aspects of my body. My eyes traveled
from his face to his broad chest. There was a tattoo of a woman’s name right
below his left collarbone, almost where his heart would be. The name was Chloe and
was in a flowing script.
The dragon on his
ribs was defined; the blue and black stood out most. A splash of orange came
out of its mouth and its head was tilted up, as if it were burning his armpit.
My eyes continued traveling southward until they got to the main attraction. He
wasn’t soft. He was hard, probably harder than a rock. I had the urge to grab
him, stroke him… maybe even get a taste of him, but I held off, suddenly
realizing I was the reason he was getting turned on.
Gage finally made
the first move. His actions were deliberate, but he was going for it. He cupped
my face, taking the soap out of my hand, placing it down, and then pulling my
lips to his and kissing me fiercely.
I drowned in his
touch, my body sinking against his firm upper half. He swallowed my moans and
his tongue ran over and slipped beneath mine. His panting increased, his whole
body turned rigid. He then picked me up and I had no problem wrapping my legs
around him. My back pressed against the cool shower wall, but our lips never
parted.
Groaning, his head
moved down and he licked the droplets off my neck. He kissed and sucked on me
tenderly, his arousal digging into me. He was so close to my entrance that it
frightened me yet turned me on at the same time. I wanted it more than I
realized. My body was yearning, craving for him to just take me there.

What inspired you to write “Who
He Is”?
I’ve always had a fascination for music. I know a lot of people love music but I wanted to incorporate it into my books. I love singers. I actually used to want to sing myself so to create Gage and the band was awesome. I loved writing this book.
