Hot Ticket

In the red-hot fourth Sinners on Tour installment (after Double Time), Cunning takes on the tale of two damaged souls who just might be able to save each other. The Sinners are quickly rising in the rock ’n’ roll business, and their members both work hard and play hard. In Las Vegas for lead singer Brian’s blowout bachelor party, bass guitarist Jace is lusting after stripper Aggie when a fight breaks out. After defending his bandmates, he begs Aggie to beat him as Mistress V, her domme alter ego. The two quickly become involved. Aggie knows Jace is deeply emotionally wounded—his parents abused him, and he blames himself for the death of his father—and her life hasn’t been without its own heartbreak, with a screwed-up mom and deadbeat dad. Their relationship builds amid a dramatic series of unexpected events. Cunning develops her characters into real people who engage in a compelling and satisfying erotic romance.
