For one reason or another, I decided that writing songs wasn't enough and I wanted to write a novel as well as music. That is how the idea for my debut book 'Pinky Promise' was created. When I'm not writing songs or playing music, you'll likely find me curled up in bed with a good book in my hands, and I wanted to be able to write something myself for other people to enjoy. I see books as lives. Each time you read a new book, it's like you're living somebody else's life, walking in their footsteps, being their shadow. I only ever experience that feeling when I'm reading, and I really wanted to be able to create my own book for other people to live through, as if they could have a piece of me, and that was where my idea for the main female character - Amber Solace - came from.
The blurb from the back cover of the book:
He promised to protect her. She promised to keep him out of the spotlight.
Seventeen year-old Amber Solace has two goals: survive her first year of college and chase the music dream she's been keeping in her notebooks for years. The last thing she needs is her psychopath of an ex-boyfriend, Leon Vance, trying to ruin it for her.
On a stormy evening in central London, she meets Vincent Astor, who offers her a deal she can't refuse: to be her fake boyfriend in order to keep Leon away.
It seems easy until sparks fly between them, but can one pinky promise hold everything together?
༺❀༻
Vincent Astor's nineteenth birthday was supposed to be boring - until he met Amber. Vincent doesn't do relationships, doesn't do anything publicly because it will end up in the tabloids. That's what happens when your mother is the duchess.
Upon vowing to keep her safe, Vincent knows that when Amber's past threatens to come out, directly into the spotlight, he'll do anything and everything in his power to keep her safe, even if that means he has to lose her in the process.
