Rock His World Blurb
Sasha Ford lives life her way. Tattooed, pierced, and
professionally satisfied, the Seattle music-lover has found her groove. She’s
living her dream as a free-spirited graphic artist, but the fearless vixen has
grown bored with her booty-calls and is on the prowl for a new conquest. Her
trademark black eyeliner and scarlet lips serve as both invitation and warning
to any man she pursues.
Seven years of college transformed small-town bad boy Avery
Kingston into a super-geek. New to the city with his shiny PhD, he struggles to
find his social identity by connecting with his tough guy roots. Attempting to
merge his past with his present in the counter-culture, he finds himself in
over his head—especially when sexy Sasha drags him into her world of mosh-pits
and after-parties.
Sasha only expects a one night stand, but their searing
chemistry leads them in a direction she’s less than comfortable with.
Confronted with the female version of who Avery thought he could be, Sasha’s
sexual advances bring out a carnal need to give as good as he gets. Sasha
believes she can't maintain her own identity if she’s in a serious relationship,
but Avery wants more than sex from his hot rebel. He must convince her of his
love and respect for her fierce independent streak or say goodbye to her
forever. Is Avery strong enough to make Sasha break her own rules?

KRISTI HANCOCK
At first I thought, what in the world am I going to write
about? I've been married for what seems like forever, and I dated my husband
exclusively for almost four years before that. So I decided to cheat. My sister
is divorced and just experienced the worst pick-up attempt of her life. I'm
going to share her nightmare then I'll tell you the simple thing my husband did
to hook me then reel me in.
Sis, who isn't currently "on the hunt" has an old
friend from high school who plays acoustic covers at different bars near where
she lives. She likes to go see him with some of her girl and guy friends from
high school to indulge in some no-pressure nostalgia. The singer--we'll call
him Mike--knows their little tribe comes just to see and support him, so he
visits with them between sets.
Approaching one of Mike's breaks on a Saturday, an older
gentleman sidled up to my sister and started hitting on her. Whatever his
come-ons were, they had zero impact on Sis who kept finding more creative and
aggressive ways to say "no" while simultaneously flagging Mike down
to come save her.
My sister is gorgeous and always has been. I've spent my life
watching men fall all over themselves to grovel at her feet, leaving me to
wonder, What am I? Chopped liver? The
point being that I can imagine exactly how this man did whatever he could to garner
her attention. He worked hard at it. Before Mike could finish his song and come
to Sis's rescue, the man knocked his drink over. On my sister. On purpose. He
then proceeded to wipe it off her exposed legs as she fought off his
octopus-like moves.
Then he said, "I'm as bad as my grandchildren."
Sis isn't looking for someone at all right now and has only
dated guys her own age. Nothing against AARP members, but she isn't interested
in pursuing them or anyone else. Regardless, she's just not into more
experienced men, let alone seeking them out on Match.com. I can only imagine
her trying to clean herself up while simultaneously fending him off--while
holding down her mini-skirt and sitting on a barstool at a hightop table.
Imagine anyone trying to do that without falling off the seat.
Talk about what not
to do.
Which begs the question, What
in the world did my husband do to land a wild child like me?
He didn't say a word. Mr. H. is a major introvert and barely
spoke with anyone in our group of friends. He came to visit his brother in our
college town right after I left for a two-month internship, so he had bonded
with our group while I was away. One of us graduated shortly after I returned,
and our small circle of friends met up in a fast food parking lot before
heading to the ceremony.
I said, "I'm thirsty."
He passed me his Mountain Dew.
We spent the rest of the day together, talking all through her
party and into the night.
In the morning, he kissed me when the sun came up. Sigh.
Every time I share that story I fall in love with him all over
again. We're living the dream: happily ever after.
About Kristi Hancock
After years as a slave to corporate
America riding in Learjets and limos, Kristi Hancock dropped out of the
business world to teach English and reading at an inner city school. A
voracious romance reader since her teens, she was thrilled to discover she
could write something more than technical manuals and business proposals. She
lives with her husband, a tabby cat, a Maltese, and dozens of colorful fish.
She loves being a passenger on her man’s motorcycle as they carve up winding mountain
roads and speed across the local lake in their boat. With a Buddha statue on
her desk, a teddy bear dressed like Shakespeare on her shelf, and a drawing of
a skull with a Mohawk on her wall, she lets her imagination run wild as her
characters tell her their naughty stories for all the world to read.
