Rock Star Dom + his Queen of the Spreadsheet employee = KRYPTONITE
Kate is a globe-trotting tour manager who can’t be tied down.
Danny is a Dominant rock star and tattoo artist who needs her help to explore his true kinks.
Kate just got her big break, running an international tour for a rising band. Her job is everything to her…at least until she meets the band’s enigmatic bass player.
After they collide in one unforgettably erotic night on a hotel balcony, he comes to her with a proposition. As a former BDSM club performer, Danny’s spent so long fulfilling other people’s fantasies that now he wants to reclaim his own—and he says she’s the only one who can help.
Getting caught in bed with her rock star boss could cost her career, and yet there’s something about Danny’s quiet intensity that she can’t resist. He steals her heart, hard. But the end of the tour is approaching, and their jobs are headed two different directions.
To be together one of them will have to stop touring, but the only thing they crave as much as each other is music.
Escape into the Sex, Love, and Rock & Roll series, which follows Danny’s band from dive bars to the big time. Click now to meet the band!

Advance Praise
“Dark, delicious, and dripping with voice.” -Katie Golding, Author of Order Up
“To call Playing the Pauses an erotic novel alone would be to belie its equally strong explorations of the boundaries between personal, career, and sexual growth.” -Midwest Book Review
“Danny: the boy who the heart-eyes emoji was invented for.” -Kristi, Goodreads reviewer
“Hazen’s use of the frantic energy of a rock band’s tour contrasts perfectly with the slow and seductive dance this couple engages in. Readers are sure to enjoy following The Red Letters on their drama-fueled climb to fame.” -RT Book Reviews
“This book had heat and loyalty and passion. Danny is so vulnerable and sweet.” – Michelle, Goodreads reviewer
“Michelle’s writing is like dark chocolate mousse-rich, intense, flavorful, with just enough air to keep things light. She doesn’t just put you in the scene, you’re SLAMMED into the scene. It’s a visceral experience: vivid and messy and real.” -Jill, Netgalley reviewer
“A tense, engaging love story about exploration – in one’s life, in the bedroom, and in matters of the heart.” -Layla Reyne, author of the Irish Whiskey series
“A book with OFF THE CHARTS chemistry and friendships that you want to be a part of and music and… Danny. Danny O’Neil is my number one, all time favorite book boyfriend.” ReadsandReviews.com
“With relentless chemistry and snappy writing, it’s impossible not to become a die-hard groupie for Danny and Kate and The Red Letters. The dramatic highs and lows of the backstage rock world are ruthlessly vivid. I devoured this book until the last page.” ~ Kelly Siskind, author of the Over the Top series

Thanks so much to all of you for reading and reviewing my books. I had so much fun writing this one and researching the behind the scenes process of how tour managers make the music industry work. I absolutely can’t wait for you to fall in love with Kate, Danny, and the rest of the band!
